DraftKings: 3 NBA daily fantasy sleepers for Jan. 26

Every great DraftKings daily fantasy team is built on finding cheap players who have the chance to over perform. With 10 full games on Jan. 26, there’s plenty of hidden gems out there.

It seems like this is the time of year for bad defenses, trade rumors and fighting between teams. The new trend seems to be teams having players only meetings to discus their grievances. Within the last week the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards all had such meetings as teams who are under performing currently.

Surprisingly, of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference last year, the Toronto Raptors are having the most success. Who would’ve seen that coming?

Friday night there are 10 games on the docket, making for a night filled with amazing basketball. Due to the high volume of games, there comes opportunity to find deep sleepers to give a monetary advantage in DraftKings daily lineups. The cheaper you can find players who perform, the more you can spend on superstars like Victor Oladipo, Chris Paul and Anthony Davis — all players who I think will have fantastic performances tonight.

Building DraftKings lineups is like building a championship-contending team, you need some of the best players in the league mixed with some of the cheapest players in the league who can still perform. The Warriors have four top 25 players in the league (arguably), and more than five players who contribute on tiny contracts.

The ability to find players to contribute at a cheap price means everything in both the NBA and DraftKings. With that in mind, here are my three favorite sleepers for Jan. 26.
