January 18th brings us one of the smaller Friday night slates that we’ve seen this season. They’re likely crimping the hose in anticipation for Monday’s massive all day schedule. Does anyone know what day Boogie Cousins is coming back? Just kidding, you can’t look at anything NBA-related without seeing Boogie chatter. So many burning Warrior questions start to get answers tonight.
Let’s take an entirely too-early look at the building blocks for the January 18th main slate. More times than not, starting lineup announcements, breaking news, injuries, rest, etc. will affect the value of these plays and impact your roster construction. But, the sooner we can get a feel for the slate and the optimal build, the better.

Cash Plays
I love targeting teams that are paced up for my cash game players and whoever plays the Pelicans is a recurring place I look to. I mentioned Evan Turner earlier this week and he will be considered, but right now I’m looking at Al-Farouq Aminu. The guy has the kind of floor you look for in cash builds. Whether the numbers bear this out or not, I’m not sure, but he seems to excel in paced up, more wide open games. Take a look at his game log for the Sacramento games as a comparison. He’s not a big assist guy, but he does a little bit of everything on the stat sheet. He consistently receives high-20s minutes and better than 0.8 fantasy points per minute.
To say they’re easing Rondae Hollis-Jefferson back in is an understatement. RHJ only logged 7 minutes on Wednesday. Jared Dudley has already been ruled out, so I’m looking at DeMarre Carroll to continue to get the extra minutes. He’s only $5000 on FanDuel and $5100 on DraftKings, but has played over 30 minutes his last two games, averaging about a 20% usage rate and 0.88 fp/min.
Look at all the lineups you will get, at a minimum, over the course of a month. One Cash and one GPP for each main slate. That translates to approximately:
- NBA – 120 lineups per month
- MLB – 120 lineups per month
- NHL – 120 lineups per month
- Golf – 16 lineups per month
- NFL – 16 lineups per month
- NASCAR – 8 lineups per month
- UFC – 2 per event
We also do some Showdown, Playoffs and small slate GPP lineups in addition. All of this for one low price! Contact us at HammerDFS@gmail.com or on Twitter @HammerDFS.
We run a private group that shares NBA lineup tips, as well as all of the other major DFS sports. Hammer DFS is a growing group of sports fans from across the country (from around the globe, technically) who enjoy playing daily fantasy sports, having some laughs, and winning cash while we’re at it.
As always, be sure to check for NBA fantasy updates and news before lock. This article is often written before the previous night’s games even finish, so a lot can, and will, change. Be diligent and follow-up accordingly.
