The best NBA sleepers at each position for DraftKings daily fantasy basketball on Tuesday, Feb. 2

After a week when it seemed like there were a ton of games on every night out of the week, the NBA is back to its normal patterns. After a heavy slate of action on Monday night with nine games on the schedule, the action dies down just a bit on Tuesday night with only five games on the docket. That leaves just 10 teams for daily fantasy basketball players to construct their DraftKings lineups with and 10 rosters to sift through to try and find the best sleepers for Tuesday, Feb. 2.

On Monday, it was a bit of a strange day as many of the highest salary options available didn’t have the biggest nights and the ideal lineups were constructed with mid-tier players and a few sleepers. Players like Jeff Teague ($5,500) had a big night for the Atlanta Hawks with 53.75 fantasy points in DraftKings scoring. Joining him would be power forward Serge Ibaka ($5,600) who put up 42 fantasy points for the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets rookie center Nikola Jokic ($5,300) who had a monster night as he put up 53.5 fantasy points.

For the action in the NBA on Tuesday, the smaller slate of games will get started at 7:30 p.m. ET as the Boston Celtics take on the New York Knicks. That game will be followed by the Miami Heat and Houston Rockets squaring off with an 8 p.m. ET start. The Toronto Raptors will go on the road to play the Phoenix Suns in a contest that starts at 9 p.m. ET. Next up will be a matchup featuring the Milwaukee Bucks and Portland Trail Blazers that tips off at 10 p.m. ET. The night will then conclude with the Minnesota Timberwolves taking on the Los Angeles Lakers starting at 10:30 p.m. ET.
