Three of tonight’s five games are in the turbo tournaments tonight. With no late night tournament (only one game tips after 8pm eastern), your only chance for the smaller pool is in the turbo tournaments tonight.

Here are my turbo FanDuel lineups for February 10:

Point Guards:

Bargain:

Ramon Sessions, Kings ($3,800): Sessions has done well with Darren Collison out with a hip flexor injury. He has put up 46.9 fantasy points in those two starts. That make him a nearly 7x value. However, Darren Collison is listed as questionable, so you need a contingeny plan. If you use Sessions in your lineup, be prepared to change it at the last minute. I left myself enough money to upgrade to Patrick Beverly without redoing my team on a moment’s notice.

Worth The Cost:

Mike Conley, Grizzlies (6,800): Conley has put up a nice string of four straight 20 fantasy point games. He has averaged 29 fantasy points per game over that span, which put him a little over a 4x value. He should be able to at least come close to that against the Nets.

Derrick Rose, Bulls ($7,000): Rose has not been under 25 fantasy points since January 19th, and is averaging 28.4 fantasy points per game over his last ten games. He has become a consistent force in daily fantasy, and is a constant 4x value. If Collison does not play, it will increase his value a little bit more.

Risky Play:

Jarrett Jack, Nets ($7,300): Jack is the highest priced PG in the turbo games, and rightfully so. He has been over over 30 fantasy points in seven of his last ten games. So why am I not playing him tonight? First of all, he is playing Memphis. They have shut down many a point guard this year, most of them more athletically gifted than Jack. Second, Deron Williams is back and taking chunks out of his minutes. The Nets will likely trade one of the two before the deadline, so they will keep playing them both around the same amount of minutes. Jack’s three games below 30 were against Washington and the Clippers twice. Both of them defend the point well. I don’t see Jack cracking 30. He could have a hard time hitting 20.

My Lineups:

A: Conley and Rose ($13,800)

B: Rose and Sessions ($10,800)

Next: Spend Big At SG

Shooting Guards:

Bargain:

Tony Allen, Grizzlies ($4,000): Allen’s defensive prowess gives him the edge over Courtney Lee. Lee has the higher upside because when he gets going, he can score in bunches. If you find yourself in a pinch and need to go cheap, there aren’t any good mid-level options. Allen is your safest bet among the cheap ones.

Worth The Cost:

James Harden, Rockets ($11,200): Harden has only been under 40 fantasy points once in his last ten games, and he scored 39 in that one. Harden is on some kind of roll right now, and is the safest high-dollar option right now. When you take into account his great matchup against the Suns, you need to have him in your lineup. He might crack 60 again like he did against the Trailblazers on Sunday.

Jimmy Butler, Bulls ($8,800): Butler has been over 30 fantasy points in every game since his return from resting his sore knee. He is averaging 41 fantasy points per game over that span. On top of that, he gets the Kings tonight. You know, the ones that gave up a career night to Klay Thompson a couple of weeks ago. Butler is a very strong play tonight, and could come close to Harden’s output.

Risky Plays:

Eric Bledsoe, Suns ($8,400): The only reason that Bledsoe is a risk is because his production fluctuates a lot more than that of Butler or Harden. Bledsoe has been below 30 four times in his last ten games. You just don’t see Butler or Harden fall below that threshold nearly that often. That said, he is returning from the birth of a child, so you know he is going to be feeling it. Add in the fact that he is playing the Rockets, and he is definitely worth going with if you can’t afford Harden.

Joe Johnson, Nets ($6,000): Johnson was shut down by the Wizards on Saturday to the tune of 7.7 fantasy points. Tonight he gets another strong defensive team in Memphis. I hate his matchup, but he is the only mid-range option. Even if he is held in check, he might be a more reliable option than Ben McLemore or either of the Grizzlies’ guards. Just be aware that Memphis might be able to do what Washington did to him.

My Lineups:

A: Butler and Bledsoe ($17,200)

B: Harden and Butler ($20,000)

Next: Solid Options At SF Even If Gay Sits

Small Forwards:

Bargains:

Bojan Bogdanovic, Nets ($3,500): Bogdanovic has his minutes back up near 30 again, and his production has picked up. He played well against the Bulls last night, putting up 24.2 fantasy points. He won’t do that tonight against Memphis, but he should provide you at least 15 fantasy points if you need to go really cheap somehwere.

P.J. Tucker, Suns ($4,700): Tucker has put up 20 or more fantasy points in four of his last seven games since moving into the starting lineup. The ones that he missed were against Memphis and Chicago, both teams that defend pretty well. The Rockets are another team that defends the three well with Trevor Ariza in there. However, with few viable SF options, Tucker warrants a look if you run out of money.

Worth The Cost:

Trevor Ariza, Rockets ($5,500): Ariza has averaged 33.3 fantasy points over his last four games. He is on a tear lately, and is helping pick up the slack with Dwight Howard out. He could be in for another big night against the Suns. Tucker is more of an offensive threat than a defensive one. Ariza is likely the best SF option in the late night.

Jeff Green, Grizzlies ($5,000): Green is a slighty more reliable option than Tucker, but Tucker has more upside. Still, Green is a bit more consistent, and his matchup is much better (vs. Brooklyn). If you have the extra $300, go with Green.

Risky Play:

Rudy Gay, Kings ($7,300): Gay scored just 6.7 fantasy points on the Jazz in 29 minutes on Saturday before leaving with a foot injury. He missed Sunday’s tilt, and is questionable for tonight. Even if he does play, his matchup against the Bulls is not a good one. Add to that the fact that his foot is probably still less than 100%, and I don’t see tonight going well for Gay. You can likely do better for a much lower price.

My Lineups:

A and B: Ariza and Green ($10,500)

Next: Options Galore at PF

Power Forwards:

Bargains:

Josh Smith, Rockets ($6,100): It has been Smith, not Donatas Motiejunas, who has picked up most of the slack with Dwight Howard out. Smith has seven straight games of 25 or more fantasy points and has averaged 32 fantasy points per game in that span. He has a nice matchup agianst the Suns, and is a lock for 30 minutes, which means he should be at or above that average once again.

Donatas Motiejunas, Rockets ($5,700): His production has been solid across the board as well for the last seven games. The only difference is that he has averaged 25.6 fantasy points per game over that span. Both of the Rockets PF’s are good values at their price, and have done well in the absence of Howard.

Worth The Cost:

Pau Gasol, Bulls ($9,700): The Kings are weak at PF, and Gasol has not had a sub 30 point fantasy game in 2015. You see where this is going. He might not rack up 52 like he did on Orlando on Sunday, but he should be in the 40’s. His ten game average sits at 42.8. Expect him at or above that. He is the best option at PF, and could rival Harden for the turbo scoring crown.

Zach Randolph, Grizzlies ($8,600): His poor showing against the Timberwolves on Friday was the first time he had been under 30 fantasy points in 2015. He bounced back on Sunday with a good peformance against a solid Hawks team. He has a nice matchup agianst the undersized Nets tonight. Expect him to be easily in the 30’s once again.

Risky Plays:

Markieff Morris, Suns ($6,200): Morris has had back to back games of under 20 fantasy points. Against the Jazz, that is forgiveable since they defend the interior so well. The cause for concern was his even worse game against the Kings on Sunday in what should have been a decent matchup. His inconsistency is maddening. That said, he did score 26.3 fantasy points the last time the Suns played Houston on January 23rd.

Marcus Morris, Suns ($3,900): The lesser known of the Morris twins has actually been the most productive one over the last couple of games. This likely wont continue to be the case, but Marcus has averaged 20.5 fantasy points per game over his last ten games. That is a 5x value if you feel like rolling the dice a bit. He had an above average showing of 25.2 fantasy points against the Rockets in their last meeting.

My Lineups:

A: Marcus Morris and Smith ($10,000)

B: Randolph and Smith ($14,700)

Next: You Likely Need To Spend At C

Center:

Bargain:

Miles Plumlee, Suns ($3,700): Plumlee has played himself back into a larger role with Alex Len sidelined. He has outperformed Brandan Wright by leaps and bounds. Plumlee even posted a 27.6 fantasy point outing against the Kings on Sunday! He has a nice matchup against the Howard-less Rockets even if Alex Len finds his way onto the court. His official designation is “doubtful”, so expect another solid outing for Plumlee.

Worth The Cost:

DeMarcus Cousins, Kings ($10,800): Joakim Noah is a good defender, and so is Pau Gasol. Cousins does not have a great matchup tonight, but all that means is that he might be in the 40’s instead of the 50’s. In that vein though, there is a good chance that Marc Gasol get nearly the points that Cousins does at a much lower ($2,500) price.

Marc Gasol, Grizzlies ($8,300): Gasol has not been the nightly 40 fantasy point threat that he was in December, but he is still routinely in the mid-30’s. That wont be a problem for him tonight against the Nets. I wouldn’t be surprised if he approached 5x value.

Risky Play:

Brook Lopez, Nets ($6,700): Kevin Garnett is back, and is taking about 20 minutes per game at PF. Mason Plumlee is still playing fairly well at center. That leaves Lopez as mostly a PF against a really good Grizzlies frontcourt. He was held in check by Toronto last week and by Milwaukee last night. The consistency isn’t there. With his bad matchup, I would say avoid him if you can.

My Lineups:

A: Gasol ($8,300)

B: Plumlee ($3,700)
