There are four games in the turbo FanDuel tournaments tonight, giving us a lot of different opportunities.

Here are my turbo FanDuel lineups for March 11:

Point Guards:

Bargains:

Elfrid Payton, Magic ($6,200): Payton has put up more than 28 fantasy points in four straight games. It’s not like he played scrubs in that stretch either. He did that against the Pacers, Celtics, and Kings, all of whom are in the top half of the league in perimeter defense. The Bucks are up there too, but Payton still seems like a pretty reliable play. He may not reach 28 again, but 4x value is within reach.

Deron Williams, Nets ($5,900): Williams has managed to hold off Jarrett Jack for the starting spot, at least for now. He has ceded some minutes to him, but so long as D-Will is playing like he is – he has averaged 27.9 fantasy points over his last ten games – the job is his. That makes him a solid option for the price. He and Jack are the exact same price. If you want to go with one of them, take Williams.

Worth The Cost:

Russell Westbrook, Thunder ($13,300): Westbrook has made himself the highest priced player of the season at $13,300. While that seems ridiculous, he has been even more so. Westbrook has had five triple-doubles in his last six games. His average score over his last ten games is an incredible 62.8 fantasy points. Over his last six, it balloons to 67.6. Do you dare bet against him? His average output is more than 5x value, even at this astronomical price.

Mike Conley, Grizzlies ($6,400): Conley is on a roll lately. He has averaged 36.2 fantasy points per game in March. He might fall a little short of that against Boston, but keep in mind that Isaiah Thomas likely won’t play tonight. This looks like a good time to roll Conley out there.

Risky Plays:

Chris Paul, Clippers ($10,500): Paul was noticeably limping at the end of Monday’s game, yet he insists that he will be ready for tonight’s game against the Thunder. Even if he does play, it is very likely that he won’t be anywhere near 100%. I wouldn’t trust him even against a bad opposing defense, let alone the Thunder. Stay away from this one.

Michael Carter-Williams, Bucks ($7,800): MCW lit up the Hornets, who were without Tyreke Evans, on Monday. It was his best game with his new team. It was only the second time in seven games that he had gone over 30 fantasy points, so I am not convinced that is was anything more than circumstance. His matchup against Orlando is not the greatest. Payton and Victor Oladipo are solid defenders. He may get up in the high 20’s, but I doubt he reaches 4x value. You can likely do better.

My Lineups:

A: Williams and Conley ($12,300)

B: Westbrook and Payton ($19,500)

Next: Pickings Are A Little Slim At SG If Wade Sits

Shooting Guards:

Bargains:

J.J. Redick, Clippers ($5,600): Jamal Crawford is still without a timetable for a return, which means Redick is still going to see plenty of minutes. He has averaged 26.4 fantasy points per game with Crawford out, which is good for an average of 4.8x value. He is a solid cheap option against the Thunder tonight.

Tony Allen, Grizzlies ($4,400): Allen has averaged 24 fantasy points per game since missing the March 3rd tilt due to a fight in practice. He has taken his fire to the court lately, and is playing as well as he has at any point this year. He is a lock for 4x value, and should approach 4.5x, even against Boston.

Worth The Cost:

Victor Oladipo, Magic ($8,000): Oladipo has been carrying the team lately. He has only been under 25 fantasy points once in his last 12 games, and that was a 24.5 point effort. His consistency is desired in daily leagues, and his upside is enticing. The return of Nikola Vucevic thrwarted his scoring a little bit, but he does enough other things to make him a good play in daily leagues. If he can still score 30 fantasy points against the Pacers, he is a solid be for 4x value against Milwaukee.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks ($7,000): Giannis had a career high 29 points against the Pelicans on Monday en route to a monster 51 point fantasy night. Consistency is still a bit of an issue considering that he has been below 20 fantasy points in two of his last eight games, but he showed what he is capable of. He has a nice matchup against the Magic tonight, and should get you near 5x value.

Risky Plays:

Joe Johnson, Nets ($5,700): That is now five straight games of under 20 fantasy points for Johnson. The minutes are still there, he is just mired in a horrible slump. On paper, the matchup wtih Miami looks pretty good, but I would only gamble with him if you absolutely have to. And only if Wade sits.

Dwyane Wade, Heat ($7,800): Say what you want about Wade, but he is rolling lately. He has not been below 35 fantasy points since February 27th, and is averaging 38 fantasy points per game during that stretch. That is 4.4x value. He is a solid play against the Nets tonight if he takes the court. He missed shootaround because of an illness. If he can’t go, Tyler Johnson and Shabazz Napier will be worth a look, depending on who gets the start.

My Lineups:

A: Oladipo and Allen ($12,400)

B: Redick and Allen ($10,000)

Next: SF Is Very Thin Once Again

Small Forwards:

Bargains:

Jeff Green, Grizzlies ($5,100): Green has topped 20 fantasy points in six straight games, and has averaged 25.1 fantasy points per game in that span. That makes him close to a 5x value. If you need any more incentive, he gets to play his former teammates in Boston tonight. Green could be in line for his second straight 30 point fantasy game.

Bojan Bogdanovic, Nets ($3,600): He has been pushed to the bench once again, but Bogdanovic is still a part of the rotation. He has averaged 22 minutes per game and 14 fantasy points per game over his last five. Yes, that puts him right at 4x value. He is a low-risk certainty for double digits, but that is about it. Use him if you are desperate.

Worth The Cost:

Khris Middleton, Bucks ($6,500): Even when Middleton has a below average game, he still gets above 20 fantasy points. He has averaged 29.7 fantasy points per game over his last ten, and remains one of the most consistent threats around. He has a solid matchup against Orlando tonight that should see him right around 30 once again.

Tobias Harris, Magic ($6,500): Harris has three straight games of over 30 fantasy points, and it looks as though his balky knee isn’t bothering him anymore. He put up these 30 point games agianst good defensive opponents in Boston, Indiana, and Sacramento. Milwaukee will give him problems, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he flirted with 30 again.

Risky Plays:

Luol Deng, Heat ($6,100): Deng has played more than 30 minutes in each of his last ten games, but his fantasy output has varied from 6.3 points to 34.6 points. No thanks, I will pass.

Jae Crowder, Celtics ($4,900): Crowder has played pretty well with Avery Bradley out, but Bradley is going to try to return tonight. If he does, Crowder’s minutes will likely take a hit. Just how much of a hit is anyone’s guess. The Boston rotation is getting crowded again, and there could be some shuffling tonight if Isaiah Thomas misses the game. There are way too many if’s in the equation for me to gamble on Crowder tonight.

My Lineups:

A: Middleton and Green ($11,600)

B: Harris and Green ($11,600)

Next: Still Good Options At PF

Power Forwards:

Bargains:

John Henson, Bucks ($5,000): Playing anyone in the Bucks frontcourt rotation has been a risk lately, but it seems as though Henson played well enough when Zaza Pachulia is out that he has earned the backup center gig. He has been over 20 fantasy points in each of his last seven games except for Golden State, a game where the Bucks went small. Henson looks like a solid play against Orlando tonight.

Worth The Cost:

Serge Ibaka, Thunder ($8,200): Aside from a horrid outing against Philadelphia a week ago, Ibaka has averaged 40 fantasy points per game in his last ten games. He has a solid matchup against the Clippers, who are still without Blake Griffin. They may give him some issues on the interior, but I would be willing to bet that he gets close to 4.5x value.

Zach Randolph, Grizzlies ($8,000): Randolph was put through the wringer against New Orleans and Chicago over the last two games. Tonight he gets a little bit of reprieve against Boston, but it still won’t be easy with all of the bodies that they are going to throw at him. Still, I would expect him around 4x value, which is about all you can expect from these smaller tournaments.

Risky Plays:

Brandon Bass, Celtics ($5,900): Bass has put together two really good games in a row, and is firmly back in the Boston rotation, even with Kelly Olynyk back. That said, I won’t touch him against Memphis. They have made All-Stars routinely look bad against Randolph and Marc Gasol. As good as Bass can be, he is no All-Star.

Thaddeus Young, Nets ($5,800): Young has been getting minutes at SF as well as PF, so he still holds some fantasy value. That said, his production has not been as consistent as it was with Minnesota. Joe Johnson, Deron Williams, and Brook Lopez are all ahead of him in the pecking order. He has never been a great rebounder, so you are basically taking a chance that the third or fourth offensive option on the team will net you enough points for 4.5x value (26.1 fantasy points). He has only topped that mark three times in ten games with his new team.

My Lineups:

A: Ibaka and Bass ($14,100)

B: Bass and Young ($11,700)

Next: Plenty Of Options At C Even With Whiteside Out

Center:

Bargains:

Brook Lopez, Nets ($6,900): Lopez has averaged 36 fantasy points per game over his last three games, and gets to face a Heat team with a suspended Hassan Whiteside. Lopez looks like a great play tonight.

Worth The Cost:

DeAndre Jordan, Clippers ($9,600): Jordan has averaged 41.3 fantasy points per game over his last ten games, making him a consistent 4.5x value. He has a solid matchup against the Thunder tonight, who are improved at center, but still not what I would call strong. His great rebounding makes him a low risk play, even at this high of a price.

Marc Gasol, Grizzlies ($7,700): Gasol has been over 30 fantasy points in six straight games, and seven of his last ten. He is averaging 34.8 fantasy points per game in that span, which makes him a little above 4.5x value. He is a solid play against the Celtics tonight.

Risky Plays:

Enes Kanter, Thunder ($6,000): Kanter has looked strong against teams that are not great in the interior (Toronto, Lakers, Suns, Nuggets) and has struggled against ones that are (Chicago, Philadelphia, Indiana, Dallas). He gets one of the latter tonight in the Clippers. I would look elsewhere tonight, especially with other suitable options available for nearly the same price.

Nikola Vucevic, Magic ($8,400): Vucevic only played 28 minutes and scored 25 points in his return last night, but was that attributed to his ankle or the blowout? I guess we will find out tonight. I am a little skeptical since it is a back-to-back set on his return to the lineup. I’m a little scared that his minutes will be limited again.

My Lineups:

A: Jordan ($9,600)

B: Lopez ($6,900)
