There are three games in the late night FanDuel tournaments tonight, which makes for more options. Keep in mind that it starts a little earlier at 8:30 eastern tonight!

Here are my late night FanDuel lineups for March 4:

Point Guards:

Bargain:

Ray McCallum, Kings ($4,200): McCallum continues to get more minutes than Andre Miller, so he remains the better fantasy option. That said, neither were effective against the Knicks, so neither are great fantasy options. However, if you need to go cheap, Go McCallum over Miller still.

Damian Lillard, Trailblazers ($8,700): Lillard will have a hard time keeping his current streak of two 40+ fantasy points games going against the Clippers, but he is still a solid bet to hit 30, which qualifies him as a bargain in late night if you can’t afford the big two.

Worth The Cost:

Chris Paul, Clippers ($10,300): Paul has been bordering on dominant with Blake Griffin out. He has averaged 46.1 fantasy points per game since Griffin’s injury, and is a strong play against everyone right now, even the Western Conference Player Of The Week in Damian Lillard.

Risky Plays:

Michael Carter-Williams, Bucks ($7,900): MCW is simply not putting up good enough numbers to warrant playing at his price. He has only been over 30 fantasy points once with his new team, and is averaging only 22.5 fantasy points a game with Milwaukee. You need more – a lot more – to consider using him again.

Stephen Curry, Warriors ($10,200): Curry has three straight games of more than 35 fantasy points, but he has also been under 30 twice in his last ten games. If you catch one of those tonight, you’re sunk. The chances of that happening against the Bucks are fairly good.

My Lineups:

A: Paul and McCallum ($14,500)

B: Paul and Lillard ($19,000)

Next: Good Options At SG

Shooting Guards:

Bargains:

J.J. Redick, Clippers ($4,600): The Clippers look like they could be without Jamal Crawford, which makes Redick a great value play. He produces nearly a point minute off the bench for fantasy purposes, and could hit 30 if he earns the start.

Worth The Cost:

Klay Thompson, Warriors ($7,300): He does not have a great matchup against the Bucks, but you can’t ignore the five straight games of 30 or more fantasy points that he posted before the game against the Nets last night. He could sniff that plateau once again.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks ($6,400): Giannis has been over 20 fantasy points in all but one game since his minutes increased around Christmas. Along with Khris Middleton, those two provide daily league players with consistent points at a reasonable price. I wouldn’t hesistate to play either one of them. Especially against a Warriors team that doesn’t defend the wings well.

Risky Play:

Ben McLemore, Kings ($4,300): McLemore has enjoyed a bit of a scoring surge lately that has resulted in an average of 25 fantasy points per game over his last three games. He may have a tougher time against the Spurs, and DeMarcus Cousins is back, but his risk isn’t that high if you feel like taking a chance.

My Lineups:

A: Thompson and Redick ($11,900)

B: Antetokounmpo and McLemore ($10,700)

Next: Many Good SF Options As Well

Small Forwards:

Bargains:

Andre Iguodala, Warriors ($5,000): Iggy is getting enough playing time to give him a modest streak of six straight 20 fantasy point games. I would have no fear deploying him, even against the Bucks.

Khris Middleton, Bucks ($6,500): Middleton went over 40 fantasy points last night for the third time since the beginning of February. The fact that he sometimes puts up lines like this is just icing on the cake. He is a solid play every night the Bucks are in action.

Worth The Cost:

Kawhi Leonard, Spurs ($7,200): Leonard put up 38.9 fantasy points against the Spurs six days ago. That’s good enough for me!

Risky Plays:

Rudy Gay, Kings ($7,600): Gay’s struggles have come against good defensive teams, and one of those was the Spurs just six days ago. You should probably steer clear of him tonight.

Draymond Green, Warriors ($7,800): Green had problems against the Nets last night, and could face a similar problem against the Bucks. They are built the same way as the Nets are, and there are likely better options at cheaper prices tonight.

My Lineups:

A: Leonard and Iguodala ($12,200)

B: Gay and Iguodala ($12,600)

Next: Is LMA Worth It?

Power Forwards:

Bargains:

Ersan Ilyasova, Bucks ($4,300): Ilyasova has been over 30 minutes in four of his last five games, and seems to be a big part of the Bucks rotation right now. That is good for us daily players because he has been over 30 fantasy points in three of those games. The only game that he didn’t meet that threshold was Utah, who have dominated opponents up front.

Glen Davis, Clippers ($3,600): Spencer Hawes is not getting it done, so Davis has been given a chance and has done fairly well. They finally gave him over 20 minutes on Monday, and he responded with 22.6 fantasy points. He should be in line for more minutes going forward.

Worth The Cost:

LaMarcus Aldridge, Trailblazers ($9,800): LMA has put up 103.7 fantasy points in his last two games against decent teams in Sacramento and Oklahoma City. I have no reservations about rostering him against the Clippers, who are still without Blake Griffin.

Risky Play:

Tim Duncan, Spurs ($7,400): Duncan has not played more than 30 minuts since February 19, and has only gone over 30 fantasy points once in those five games. I don’t like the odds, but he is the only other semi-reliable option behind Aldridge.

My Lineups:

A: Duncan and Ilyasova ($11,700)

B: Ilyasova and Davis ($7,900)

Next: DMC or DAJ?

Center:

Bargains:

Spencer Hawes, Clippers ($4,000): Hawes has eight straight games of more than ten fantasy points, which means he won’t totally bomb if you do use him. Just keep in mind that he has only been over 20 fantasy points twice in that stretch.

Worth The Cost:

DeMarcus Cousins, Kings ($10,900): Cousins showed no ill effects last night, putting up 43.5 fantasy points in just 29 minutes. He is safe to deploy going forward.

DeAndre Jordan, Clippers ($9,700): His super-human rebounding ability makes him a low risk proposition even at this price. He has not had less than 15 rebound in a game since February 8th!

Risky Plays:

Andrew Bogut, Warriors ($5,100): Bogut consistently plays 25 minutes or less, which limits his fantasy value, and makes him prone to games under 20 fantasy points. Two of those have happened in the last five games.

My Lineups:

A and B: Jordan ($9,700)
