There are four games available for the turbo tournaments tonight. Since the late night one is only for $1 players and it starts early (8:30 eastern), I will just post my late night lineups in with the turbo. There are two games available for the late night ones. The late night lineups will be the “C” lineup.

Here are my turbo and late night FanDuel lineups for February 2:

Point Guards:

Bargains:

Turbo:

Jerryd Bayless, Bucks ($4,400): He only sees about 22 minutes per game, but Bayless has scored in double digits in each of his last four games, and has not been under double digit fantasy points since January 19th. He could be a sneaky play tonight.

Late Night:

Devin Harris, Mavericks ($3,500): You simply can’t ignore a starter on a good team at his price. Rajon Rondo is out, so Harris will get the bulk of the minutes at PG with J.J. Barea backing things up. Harris has done well in his last two games, scoring 39.9 FanDuel points in 57 minutes. So if he sees about 30 minutes, he should be good for fantasy points in the low 20’s. That is a good bargain.

Worth The Cost:

Turbo:

Russell Westbrook, Thunder ($10,900): You can throw out his clunker against Memphis on Saturday because no guards have success against Memphis when Mike Conley, Courtney Lee and Tony Allen are all healthy. Tonight the Thunder get the Magic. Westbrook had 27.2 fantasy points in just 24 minutes against Orlando in their first meeting. As long as this doesn’t turn into a blowout, this could be a really good game for Westbrook.

Brandon Knight, Bucks ($7,600): He has a solid matchup against the Raptors, and has scored at least 30 fantasy points in eight of his last nine games. The only one that he was under that in was against the Spurs. Call that an aberration. His track record lately is very good, including a 39.5 fantasy point game against the Raptors on January 19th. If you can’t afford Westbrook, Knight is an excellent substitute.

Late Night:

Mike Conley, Grizzlies ($6,900): With Rondo out, that makes Conley the highest priced option in the late night tourney. He only played 29 minutes in his return to the court on Saturday, but I don’t see him being on any minutes restrictions tonight. And he gets to take on a Suns team that likes to push the tempo. I am putting aside Conley’s terrible play lately (he has not topped 30 fantasy poinst since January 11th) and recommending him for tonight. He likely will be the best option of the limited ones available.

Risky Plays:

Turbo:

Elfrid Payton, Magic ($6,000): Payton had his first game of under 20 fantasy points in his last ten games on Saturday agianst Dallas. He fared well against Oklahoma City on January 18th, but if Victor Oladipo is out again tonight, it likely won’t be good for Payton again. When he is the focal point of the offense, he has struggled. He plays well with Oladipo on the court because he draws so much attention.

Late Night:

Ricky Rubio, Timberwolves ($6,800): Rubio will make his long awaited return tonight on a night where Zach LaVine and Mo Williams are both going to be game time decisions. Even if both of them are out, Don’t expect a big workload for Rubio. This team has nothing to play for, and they don’t want to risk more damage to their star PG. I would be suprised if Rubio plays more than 25 minutes. That and the rust factor makes him a huge risk.

My Lineups:

A: Westbrook and Knight ($18,500)

B: Knight and Jack ($14,600)

C (late): Conley and Harris ($10,400)

Next: Who Is The Best Option At SG?

Shooting Guards:

Bargains:

Turbo:

Eric Gordon, Pelicans ($5,700): Gordon just keeps producing solid numbers, but most people aren’t playing him. I get it. He has very little upside. That said, he also isn’t going to hurt you. He has only one performance under 20 fantasy points, and that was in his first game back. There is little reason not to go for Gordon, even against the Hawks.

O.J. Mayo, Bucks ($5,000): Mayo is still a bit of a risk because he comes off the bench, but don’t let that deter you. Mayo has not been under 19 fantasy points in 2015. He has averaged 23.8 fantasy points per game over that span. He is about as reliable as they come, just be aware that he plays for the Bucks, who shuffle their lineups more than a Vegas dealer.

Late Night:

Kevin Martin, Timberwolves ($6,500): The fact that Rajon Rondo is out ups Martin’s value a bit. He has been between 22 and 25 points in all three games since his return. He is not going to provide you a great value, but with only four starters to choose from, he is at least going to provide you with consistency.

Worth The Cost:

Turbo:

Tyreke Evans, Pelicans ($8,200): I don’t really like his matchup against the Hawks, but you can’t deny the success that Evans has had while running the point in Jrue Holliday’s absence. He has only been under 25 fantasy points twice in that span, both against Philadelphia. I doubt that Atlanta can hold him under that.

DeMar DeRozan, Raptors ($6,800): I think it’s safe to say he is back. DeRozan is averaging 37 fantasy points per game in his last five games. He could have an even bigger night against the Bucks and their revolving door lineups.

Late Night:

Monta Ellis, Mavericks ($7,800): Ellis torches teams that don’t defend well, and the Timberwolves are one of those teams. That will change with Rubio back, but I doubt he makes a huge difference tonight. Ellis will still get plenty of open looks. He should be at the level that he was against Houston (44.3) and Orlando (51.9) tonight. Barring a blowout, he should produce in the high 30’s at worst.

Risky Plays:

Turbo:

Lou Williams, Raptors ($5,500): Williams has plaed more than 25 minutes in each of the last four games, and has gone over 32 fantasy points in each of his last three. There is a great chance that he keeps that up against the Bucks tonight, so long as he sees the minutes.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks ($5,900): His minutes have stayed consistent. He has now played more than 32 minutes in five straight games. His production is starting to increase as well. He has been over 20 fantasy points in four straight games. He has a solid matchup against the Raptors tonight, but as I have covered many a time, it is hard to trust anyone with a deer head on their chest due to the frequent lineup changes.

Late Night:

Eric Bledsoe, Suns ($8,600): Bledsoe has been over 20 fantasy points in every game of 2015, but his price has increased to the point where you need more for the money. I really don’t trust any guard against Memphis on the perimeter. That makes him a tough sell for this high of a price.

My Lineups:

A: Gordon and Williams ($11,200)

B: DeRozan and Gordon ($12,500)

C (late): Bledsoe and Martin ($14,300)

Next: Should You Pay For Durant?

Small Forwards:

Bargains:

Turbo:

Khris Middleton, Bucks ($5,500): Middleton is the unquestioned starter at SF for the Bucks. The lineup continues to be in flux around him, but as long as Middleton continues to score above 20 fantasy points like he has done in his last five games, he is safe. In fact, he played a whopping 42 minutes against Portland on Saturday. He is a solid play against Toronto tonight.

Jared Dudley, Bucks ($4,500): It sounds like Ersan Ilyasova and Zaza Pachulia are out again. That will likely mean another start for Dudley at PF. He has started there the last two games and put up 57 fantasy points over 60 minutes. That is superb value if he gets another start. Just make sure to check before you play him.

Late Night:

P.J. Tucker, Suns ($4,700): He has wrestled the starting gig away from Gerald Green, and has now played at least 28 minutes in nine of his last ten games. His fantasy production is still sporadic, but he does more than just score, so it should raise his floor some.

Worth The Cost:

Turbo:

Kevin Durant, Thunder ($10,900): Again, you can forgive Durant’s off night against Memphis. Orlando has given up points by the truckload to opposing SF’s. Durant scored 47.2 FanDuel points against the Magic in just 28 minutes in their last meeting. He is an outstanding play tonight if you can make the money work. He should get back over 50 fantasy points in this one.

Late Night:

Andrew Wiggins, Timberwolves ($6,900): The rookie showed up on the big stage, putting up a career high 33 points on the King Saturday night. Dallas may be without Chandler Parsons tonight, so Wiggins could be in for another really good night. Don’t expect another career high, but the team has now seen that both Wiggins and Martin can co-exist. Let’s see how adding Rubio to the mix does.

Risky Plays:

Turbo:

Tobias Harris, Magic ($5,800): I know. You take a look at that price tag and his season average (28.8) and you think he is a steal. He’s not. His outstanding November is skewing those numbers. He has only played 30 minutes twice in six games since returning from injury, and he still doesn’t look back to normal. He has been over 25 fantasy points only once during that span. Do you really think you can trust him against Oklahoma City tonight?

Late Night:

Jeff Green, Grizzlies ($5,100): He has had three straight sub 20 fantasy point games, and has been under that in five of his last six. So why might he be worth playing tonight? He is playing the Suns. Just keep in mind that he is not option A, B, or C on the offensive end. He is far from a sure thing.

My Lineups:

A: Durant and Middleton ($16,400)

B: Middleton and Dudley ($10,000)

C (late): Wiggins and Tucker ($11,600)

Next: Lots Of Good Options At PF Again

Power Forwards:

Bargains:

Turbo:

John Henson, Bucks ($4,700): Henson has put up 60.8 fantasy points in just 51 minutes filling in for Zaza Pachulia the last two games. Check to make sure Pachulia is out before deploying again, but Henson will be one of the best bargains tonight if he starts.

Amir Johnson, Raptors ($4,800): Patrick Patterson has cooled off, and Johson has taken full advantage. He has put up more than 30 fantasy points in each of his last two games and has seen over 34 minutes in both contests. The guard is changing back. With the Bucks beat up up front, Johnson could be in for another really good night.

Late Night:

Thaddeus Young, Timberwolves ($6,800): Young’s minutes have not wavered at all with the returns of Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin. Young has still played at least 32 minutes every game since their return, and has even played more than 38 in five straight games. He has produced too. He has not been under 20 fantasy points since the first week of January, and has averaged 31.7 fantasy points per game over his last ten games.

Worth The Cost:

Turbo:

Blake Griffin, Clippers ($9,700): Griffin abused the Spurs on Saturday night to the tune of 54.1 fantasy points, his highest output since late December. While he isn’t likely to duplicate that against the Nets, mid to high 40’s is a great possibility against the trio of Kevin Garnett, Brook Lopez, and Mason Plumlee. They are all solid players in their own rights, but they have had trouble against superstars like Griffin.

Serge Ibaka, Thunder ($7,000): The Magic are operating with Kyle O’Quinn, Channing Frye, and Dwayne Dedmon at PF. Ibaka is not an elite offensive player by any means, but Orlando might make him look like one for a night. Ibaka is also riding a string of five straight double-doubles. Number six is coming tonight.

Late Night:

Zach Randolph, Grizzlies ($8,600): Nothing can stop Randolph right now. His streak of 30+ fantasy point games is up to 14, and he has been above 35 in all but two of those games. If you want to win money in late night, you have to have Randolph against Phoenix. He will definitely be the high scorer at PF, and could be the highest scorer in late night.

Risky Plays:

Turbo:

Anthony Davis, Pelicans ($11,500): Davis says he is fine after missing one game with a groin injury. Still, if you are playing someone at this price, you need at least 50 points. Due to the fact that he is coming off of a groin injury and the fact that he is playing the Hawks, that is highly unlikely.

Paul Millsap, Hawks ($8,400): Millsap has been a man among boys lately, but tonight he has to face the man-child Anthony Davis. Millsap may keep his streak of 30+ fantasy point games alive, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Late Night:

Markieff Morris, Suns ($6,300): Morris has three straight games of over 30 fantasy points on the heels of his clunker against the Clippers (14.6). Tonight he has to face Zach Randolph and the Grizzlies, so there is a great chance that that streak comes to an end. He struggles against strong post teams, and Memphis is one of the best.

My Lineups:

A: Henson and Johnson ($9,500)

B: Griffin and Henson ($14,400)

C (late): Randolph and Young ($15,400)

Next: Who Is The Best At C?

Center:

Bargains:

Turbo:

Steven Adams, Thunder ($4,400): Adams is far from a sure thing on any level, but the Magic don’t defend the post very well. Nikola Vucevic is more of an offensive threat than a defensive guy, so Adams could be a sneaky play.

Late Night:

Tyson Chandler, Mavericks ($6,700): If you take out his bad outing against Memphis, Chandler has been over 20 fantasy points in his last six games. Three of those have been over 20. He struggled a bit against the Timberwolves on January 21st (18.2 fantasy points), but on paper this looks like a pretty good matchup.

Worth The Cost:

Turbo:

Nikola Vucevic, Magic ($9,000): Vucevic has been over 30 fantasy points in six straight games now, and three of those have been over 40. He has a great matchup against the Thunder, so he should be able to keep the streak alive. He did against the likes of Memphis and Dallas in that stretch.

Late Night:

Marc Gasol, Grizzlies ($8,200): Like Randolph, Gasol is a must-play against the Suns tonight. They are very weak in the post, so Gasol and Randolph should put up great numbers.

Risky Plays:

Turbo:

Al Horford, Hawks ($8,100): Horford has been over 32 fantasy points in every game since receiving a day off on January 14th. It’s hard not to recommend him against anyone right now, even the Pelicans. Just be aware that he might be just barely over 30 as opposed to 40.

Late Night:

Brandan Wright, Suns ($3,600): Though no official changing of the guard has been announced, Wright has outplayed Alex Len in ever game for the last three. He has averaged 19 fantasy points per game over that stretch while Len has failed to break double digits twice. If you have to go cheap, go Wright.

My Lineups:

A: Adams ($4,400)

B: Horford ($8,100)

C (late): Gasol ($8,200)
