The best sleepers at each position for DraftKings daily fantasy basketball on Tuesday, Jan. 26

Normally the action in the NBA dies down to a certain degree on Tuesday nights after busy Monday slates of games. However, even after Monday had nine games on the schedule and 18 teams in action, there will still be plenty of games on the docket on Tuesday, Jan. 26 with 8 games scheduled. That leaves 16 teams for daily fantasy basketball players to construct their DraftKings lineup using and to dig through to try and find sleepers.

Monday night saw some big-time matchups, but there were none crazier than one of the late games with the Charlotte Hornets and the Sacramento Kings. In that game, there were sleepers galore for the Hornets. Jeremy Lin ($5,400) put up 46.25 fantasy points in DraftKings scoring, Troy Daniels ($3,000) also had a career night as he put up 40.75 fantasy points and Spencer Hawes ($4,100) came up big too with 32.25 fantasy points. Trevor Ariza ($5,200) had a big night elsewhere with 52.25 fantasy points, as did Jeff Green ($4,600) with 47.5 fantasy points.

The action gets started in a big way with some early games. The Los Angeles Clippers vs. Indiana Pacers and Phoenix Suns vs. Philadelphia 76ers matchups start the night with a 7 p.m. ET start. Three games—Miami Heat vs. Brooklyn Nets, Oklahoma City Thunder vs. New York Knicks, and Washington Wizards vs. Toronto Raptors—all start soon after at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Orlando Magic take on the Milwaukee Bucks with an 8 p.m. ET tip-off. The night will then be capped off with the Sacramento Kings facing the Portland Trail Blazers at 10 p.m. ET and the Dallas Mavericks taking on the Los Angeles Lakers starting at 10:30 p.m. ET.
