Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Thursday 1/8/15

Kemba Walker continues to impress in the absence of Al Jefferson. He headlines yesterday's perfect lineups.

Last night's slate featured two blowouts, which made for some interesting garbage time scoring. If you checked out yesterday's optimal lineups, you may have been part of the small group of people who took advantage of both Travis Wear and Hassan Whiteside's value -- both cleaned up in the waining moments of their respective games. Wear finished with a career-best 21 points while adding 5 rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block while Whiteside posted 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks.

The cap relief that Wear and Whiteside provided made room for some of the elite players on the board to slide into last night's perfect lineups as well. Kemba Walker stayed red hot as Al Jefferson remains sidelined, scoring 29 points with 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and zero turnovers. James Harden, Kyle Lowry and LaMarcus Aldridge all cracked the list as well, pouring in their usual monster stat lines.

As I alluded to earlier, yesterday's optimal lineups featured many of the players listed in last night's perfect lineups. The optimal lineups are updated on a rolling basis throughout the day, so make sure to check them out as game time approaches.
