There are only two late night games again tonight, but there is still some star power out there. Enough that there are a few different ways to go with your lineups.

Here are my late night FanDuel lineups for February 4:

Point Guards:

Bargain:

J.J. Barea, Mavericks ($3,900): Barea started over Devin Harris on Monday, and now Harris is questionable for tonight. Rajon Rondo is still out, which means that if Harris is out as well, Barea will get as many minutes as he can handle. He put up 25.8 fantasy points in 29 minutes on Monday. If he gets around 35 minutes, he will easily reach 6x value, if not more!

Worth The Cost:

Stephen Curry, Warriors ($10,000): Curry racked up his fifth straight game of over 42 fantasy points last night, and he only played 29 minutes! Curry is averaging 46.4 fantasy points over that span. Whenever you can get 4.5x value for this price, the player is worth running with. Especially against a Dallas team that will be without Rajon Rondo again.

Risky Play:

Trey Burke, Jazz ($5,600): Burke has played pretty well since his return to the starting lineup. He has three games of over 25 fantasy points in the five games since rejoining the starters. I hate his matchup against Memphis though. The Grizzlies have made really good point guards look merely average against them. What do you think they will do to an inconsistent one?

My Lineups:

A: Curry and Barea ($13,900)

B: Barea and Mike Conley ($10,500) Conley has a nice matchup against the Jazz. Maybe that gets him back on track.

Next: Only Two Good Options At SG

Shooting Guards:

Bargains:

Tony Allen, Grizzlies ($4,100): Allen has averaged 20.4 fantasy points per game since missing two games due to a knee injury. Allen is questionable tonight, but if he plays, he is the one to go with. If Allen misses the game, I will switch this pick to Courtney Lee. He has been consistently near 4x value, but Allen is the more reliable option.

Worth The Cost:

Monta Ellis, Mavericks ($7,900): Ellis has averaged 36.2 fantasy points over his last seven games since having two dreadful outings in three games. Ellis seems to be back on track, and is likely the best option at SG tonight.

Risky Play:

Klay Thompson, Warriors ($8,200): Thompson has gone cold again. Over his last three games, he has two games under 20 fantasy points. Of course, one of those was last night when he played only 24 minutes in the blowout win over the Kings. He should have more success tonight against the Mavericks.

My Lineups:

A: Thompson and Allen/Lee ($12,300)

B: Thompson and Ellis ($16,100)

Next: Several Options At SF For A Change

Small Forwards:

Bargain:

Chandler Parsons, Mavericks ($6,100): Parsons had a good return to the court after missing two games. He put up 33.2 fantasy points against Minnesota. Tonight he gets the Warriors, who have had trouble with SF’s that shoot well. Hayward torched them over the weekend. I’m not saying that Parsons will do the same, but he should be right around the 30 fantasy point mark.

Worth The Cost:

Gordon Hayward, Jazz (8,100): I wont go as far as to say that Hayward is matchup-proof yet, but his body of work sure speaks for itself. His string of 20+ point fantasy games is up to 15. On top of that, he has been above 34 fantasy points in four of his last five games. I wouldn’t expect him to top that against Memphis, but with the roll he is on, I wouldn’t rule out 30 either.

Risky Play:

Joe Ingles, Jazz ($4,400): Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, and Damian Lillard handcuffed Ingles last night, breaking his streak of 20+ point fantasy games at five. Don’t expect him to bounce back against a tough Memphis perimeter that features Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Courtney Lee, and Jeff Green, at times. You can play with fire if you’re desperate, but I don’t like this one at all.

My Lineups:

A: Hayward and Parsons ($14,200)

B: Parsons and Jeff Green ($11,200): Green has done pretty well as the starter in Memphis, and I needed the money to upgrade to Ellis. Green shouldn’t be that much of a drop off from Parsons.

Next: Should You Trust Randolph Against The Jazz?

Power Forwards:

Bargain:

Dirk Nowitzki, Mavericks ($6,500): Nowitzki does not produce at the level he once did, but he has still been over 20 fantasy points in every game in 2015. He should be in the mid 20’s again tonight, making him a solid 4x value.

Worth The Cost:

Zach Randolph, Grizzlies ($8,700): Randolph is matchup-proof when there are only two games going on. He is easily the best option at the position, even against Utah. He has not been under 30 fantasy points in 13 straight games. He has played some good teams in that stretch, including Portland and Dallas twice. There is a good chance that he keeps the streak alive against the Jazz. Just don’t expect huge numbers out of him.

Derrick Favors, Jazz ($7,500): Favors has four straight games of over 30 fantasy points, but that could come to an end tonight against the Grizzlies. Still, if you can make it work, he and Randolph would be a very good duo up front.

Risky Plays:

Marreese Speights, Warriors ($4,600): Speights continues to get minutes against teams with size in the middle. Dallas has that, though his minutes could take a bit of a hit if Dirk Nowitzki plays more on the perimeter. That makes him a bit of a risk for tonight.

David Lee, Warriors ($5,800): Lee has been under 20 fantasy points four times in his last six games. That said, he was over last night in just 23 minutes against the Kings. When Lee has played good minutes, he has done well, but his minutes have not been all that consistent. He has been between 16 and 30 minutes over that span.

My Lineups:

A: Randolph and Speights ($13,300)

B: Randolph and Favors ($16,200)

Next: Can You Afford Marc Gasol?

Center:

Bargain:

Tyson Chandler, Mavericks ($6,700): Chandler has played well against the Timberwolves and Magic in the last two games. What do they have in common? They are both relatively weak at the center position. So is Golden State. Expect Chandler to give you a fantasy return in the low 30’s once again.

Worth The Cost:

Marc Gasol, Grizzlies ($8,300): Gasol struggled a bit against Dallas and Denver, but he played less that 30 minutes in each of those games. He should get close to 40 so long as this game doesn’t turn into a blowout. Enes Kanter and Rudy Gobert are solid players, but Gasol in an all around force. That makes him a safe play against anyone.

Risky Plays:

Rudy Gobert, Jazz ($6,100): Gobert has outperformed Kanter over the last two games, and therefore is seeing a few more minutes than his counterpart. Just be aware that this can fluctuate at any minute, often during games. Neither one of them is a particularly safe option against Memphis, but I understand if you ran out of money. I did too.

My Lineups:

A: Gobert ($6,100)

B: Kanter ($5,900)
