NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 11/5/2016

There are 8 games tonight which means there will be plenty of value to help you fill your lineup with superstar talent.

These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/05/16. These players will vary in price and because I am forgetful, I will make this short so I can get this published and help you make some money. That being said, the players I advise are players in my lineup so IF it all goes downhill, I'll be tumbling down right next to you. Let's get rolling…

Just email [email protected] with your new FantasyAces username - and boom, that's it! We will email you with your Premium Pass.

 

FanDuel DFS Guards

Patty Mills - PG vs. LAC ($4,500)

I will take Patty Mills every night he gets the start. He is one of the top backup point guards in the league and although he is on the dreaded Spurs, the most consistent, DFS-lineup-ruining, team in the NBA, he will tell get plenty of touches, shots, and minutes that make him a must start at a great price.
.

Elfrid Payton - PG vs WAS ($6,100)
Normally, the fact that Payton struggles with his shot would keep me from picking him especially at such a high price for a risky guard. Well, John Wall, one of the NBA's best defensive guards is out and Payton will face Trey Burke. Without Wall, Payton has the chance to explode against the Wizards and I see him capitalizing on this matchup simply because he doesn't have to face John Wall. His shot has improved over the last year and this will be a game where he should showcase that improvement.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Thaddeus Young - PF vs. CHI ($5,900)

This is another player with a perfect matchup. There are not enough players on the Bulls to guard all the talent the Pacers posess and that means Thaddeus Young will most likely pull the weakest matchup. I am not saying he isn't a streaky shooter but we know he is easily a double-double threat and given his matchup against either Taj Gibson, Bobby Portis, or even Nikola Mitotic, I'll gladly take my chances on Thad to outperform his value.

Kawhi Leonard- SF vs LAC ($8,500)

Kawhi Leonard had a great game against the Jazz last night in the 31 minutes he played. With the Spurs facing the Clippers as one of the primetime games, expect this to be a fantastic game for both teams. Leonard has shined in the spotlight previously and after his 29 point outing last night, I assume that was his warm up for what he is going to do to the Clippers. They have limited options to guard him and I expect Spurs coach Gregg Poppovich to already recognize this and as long as he doesn't bench Leonard for no reason, which he has a history of doing, Leonard should be a top performer for Saturday.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Andre Drummond  - C, vs DEN, ($8,000)

I am almost positive every DFS player views Drummond as one of the more favorable DFS options every night he plays. You don't realize have awesome 20 points and 20 rebounds is until you have Drummond racking up those point for your lineup. Given his price tag of $8,000 and matchup against Jokic, Drummond should be in for another one of this nights. Jokic isn't bad by any means but Drummond is simply too big or Jokic to expect to stop singlehandedly. Drummond and the Pistons should be in a for a great fantasy relevant game.

Dwight Howard - C vs. Hou ($8,300)


Dwight Howard
is playing fantastic basketball and this is just another matchup that works in his favor. He is going against former teammate Clint Capela and is going to have Capela's number all day. Remember that even through politics in the Houston organization, Howard received limited minutes for reasons other than his skill on the court but still started every night he could. Howard is a monster on the boards and with a strong Hawks team around him, Howard should continue to see his normal production. I believe Drummond will out perform Howard but if you see this matchup as too hard to pass up, you won't be disappointed by taking Howard.
