Round 1: Westbrook VS. Howard

FSL – 260 Point Cap Lineup

Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! This delightful, seven-game Tuesday provides for some standout options at the 1 and the 5. In one corner, standing at 6-foot-3, we have Mr. Westbr00k with a 9 point margin over the 2nd best PG option of the night. In the other corner we have the seven-foot-piano-playing, MVP candidate with an 8 point average PPG over the Aussie wonder. Days like today are what makes daily fantasy awesome. In a tight-cap game, you’re either rolling with a top-dog or you’re not; there’s really no in-between. I’m going to show you why the clear choice for today is to go with…both.

OK, so maybe it’s not crystal clear that you should take the top PG and Center today, but I think there are enough sub-elite tier picks and value plays across the board to get you to the promise land on this fine Tuesday evening. Sure you have the usual suspects backlogging the power forward roster spot, but they’ve been consistent all season long. On FSL, it’s all about finding the players that are hot right now! FSL’s player pricing revolves around season Avg. PPG per player, so if you get a player who’s last seven game log is far exceeding that price (due to injuries, lineup change, or what have you), it’s tough to turn him down in such a transparent value situation.

For my money – I’m rolling with those who separate themselves from their positional pack. J.J. Hickson is living proof that you don’t need Kevin Love and Blake Griffin (or to play on a team that could compete in the WNBA consolation bracket) every night to win your games. That being said, I am loving me some Love vs. the center-less Rockets tonight, so I managed to get him in there too. Here’s my FSL-260 squad tonight:
