Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the NBA FanDuel lineup article. Tonight we have another small, three-game slate. Let’s go ahead and dive right into my FanDuel lineup for tonight.

Point Guard

John Wall (WAS): $9,500 vs. NOP
Wall continues to trend upward since returning from an injury that kept him out for nine games. Last time out he played 32 minutes and put up 42 FanDuel points. The Wizards currently have the highest projected team total in Vegas in what should be a high scoring and exciting game.

Frank Mason (SAC): $4,200 at PHI
George Hill has been ruled out for tonight’s game and De’Aaron Fox is expected to return. This means that Mason’s backup point guard minutes should be secure for at least another game. Mason, has not done great in each of his previous two games. However, he has shown that he can have the occasional 20+ FanDuel point game. We are really hurting for value options on this small slate and at the moment Mason might be one of the better value options for tonight.

Shooting Guard

Dwyane Wade (CLE): $4,800 at MIL
D-Wade sat out Sunday night’s game after playing the previous two games. Wade should return to the lineup tonight in an exciting matchup with the Bucks. This game is right up there with the Wizards/Pelicans game with a projected total of 217 points. Wade no longer possesses the upside needed for GPP contests, but he should be a somewhat safe cash game option on this small slate.

E’Twaun Moore (NOP): 4,600 at WAS
Moore had a down game on Friday night in Denver. Moore’s output is subject to the occasional dud performance when you consider the usage percentage taken up by Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins. However, Moore has been pretty solid over the month of December, averaging 26.2 FanDuel points per game.

Small Forward

LeBron James (CLE): $12,000 at MIL
LeBron has been the greatest player in the league for quite some time now. However, I cannot recall a season where his fantasy production has been so consistent. LeBron has averaged 55.34 FanDuel points per game this season and put up 61 points against the Bucks back in November.

Dante Cunningham (NOP): $3,600 at WAS
After LeBron and Antetokounmpo, the quality really drops off at the small forward position tonight, so I really recommend punting at the position unless another viable value option pops up later today. Cunningham has been solid when given the opportunity, but he normally only plays around 20 minutes. I’m willing to take a chance on that tonight given the lack of value options on this small slate.

Power Forward

John Henson (MIL): $5,500 vs. CLE
Henson is another player who doesn’t have a ton of upside, but he has definitely been a stable DFS option since the Bucks traded Greg Monroe to the Suns. The matchup against the Cavs is not a great one, but he should still be a decent cash game option.

Mike Scott (WAS): $4,500 vs. NOP
Markieff Morris has been battling through some injuries lately which has led to Scott seeing an increase in minutes. With the increase in minutes, Scott has been an excellent option lately averaging 26.44 FanDuel points over his last five games. He should be able to hit that average if he continues to see between 25 and 30 minutes per game.

Center

DeMarcus Cousins (NOP): $11,000 at WAS
Cousins did not have a great game on Friday night in Denver when you consider his salary. With that being said, Cousins has been outstanding this season and should be able to bounce back in a big way against Marcin Gortat and the Wizards.
