Ugh, Monday has finally rolled around again. The least we can do is win a little bit of DFS money so we can hopefully quit those lame nine-to-five jobs that make Mondays less fun than they should be. Well that's why we are here, let's have some FanDuel fun.
In this article, I'm going to convince you to play three guards, three forwards, and a center in your FanDuel lineups tonight. This specific column is for the NBA games on 2/22/16, and is meant to give you my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks and advice for FanDuel.
Enough with the talking. Let's get down to it!

FanDuel DFS Guards
Chris Paul (vs PHO, $9,900)
Chris Paul is the best guard option on the board tonight, as he plays the Phoenix Suns, who are the worst team in the league against opposing point guards. He did get hurt in his last game, which was against the Golden State Warriors, but he should be fine to play tonight. He posted over 40 fantasy points in his last game, and he also has over 50 fantasy points in the two games prior to that. He can be used in all formats - both 50/50 contests and tournaments - tonight.
Kyrie Irving (vs DET, $7,700)
Kyrie Irving hurt himself in his last game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as he only played nine minutes and posted slightly under five fantasy points. He is questionable to play tonight against the Detroit Pistons, but if he does decide to suit up, he makes for a fantastic option. He has over 50 fantasy points in two of his last three games, and the Cleveland Cavaliers new style of offense suits him perfectly. Also, the Pistons are horrible on defense. Use him in all formats, but check his status prior to tip-off.
JJ Redick (vs PHO, $4,800)
JJ Redick is a solid, cheap option tonight against the Phoenix Suns. We already established that the Phoenix Suns are horrendous on defense, so we do not need to talk about that again. Redick has over 20 fantasy points in three of his last six games. He plays a lot of minutes for the Los Angeles Clippers, and he will likely continue to play in a blowout. Considering the two teams playing in his game, a blowout is actually more likely than not. I would stick to tournaments for the most part with Redick tonight.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Draymond Green (at ATL, $8,400)
Draymond Green was told last night that he would have to start at the center position 33 minutes prior to tip-off. He adjusted his game plan and decided to triple-double instead of play power forward. He posted over 40 fantasy points in 38 minutes of action against DeAndre Jordan and company. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, so he should be able to dominate yet again. Use him in all formats.
Gorgui Dieng (vs BOS, $6,200)
Gorgui Dieng finally put up a dud in his last game, as he played 25 minutes and posted 9.1 fantasy points. Prior to that, he was posting over 30 fantasy points on a consistent basis with the upside potential of 50 plus fantasy points. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Boston Celtics, and I'm willing to give him another opportunity. In fact, I trust Dieng so much that I'm willing to fire him up in 50/50 contests.
Jon Leuer (at LAC, $3,900)
Jon Leuer is a fantastic option in all formats tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers. In the two games since the Markieff Morris trade, Leuer has over 25 fantasy points in both of them. He did only play 18 minutes in his last game, which was against the San Antonio Spurs, but he scored 13 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and posted 28.4 fantasy points. The Clippers are not a great defensive team, so Leuer should be able to crush value yet again.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Karl-Anthony Towns (vs BOS, $9,00)
Karl-Anthony Towns, or KAT as we call him in the business, has quickly become one of the best centers in the entire league. He has over 40 fantasy points in three of his last six games. He also has over 50 fantasy points in two of those three games. Tonight, he faces the Boston Celtics, who are horrendous against opposing centers. He has great upside, but he is also rather consistent. Use him in any format tonight.
