Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks for FanDuel (11/25/16) - DFS Basketball Advice

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. As we all still digest our turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes, we are blessed with a full slate as all teams are set to take the court Friday night. We saw some fireworks before the turkey was even marinated Wednesday night. We will all be thankful if the same happens tonight.

These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/25/16. I try to only advise players I believe will outperform expectations and 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 to it, shall we?

FanDuel DFS Guards

Chris Paul - PG, at DET ($9,400) 

Chris Paul posted only 18 points, four assists, and three rebounds in a blowout win against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. CP3 saw the floor for only 26 minutes, lower than his usual allotment of 30.6 per game. The Clippers head to Detroit in what should be a much more competitive contest where CP3's services will be needed to close out the game for Los Angeles.

The Pistons are also still without Reggie Jackson. Ish Smith is simply no match for Paul. This should lead to a bloated stat line for the talented point guard.

Iman Shumpert - SG, vs DAL ($3,500)

This is a bit of a punt, considering Iman Shumpert hasn't exactly been Mr. Reliable this season. He typically gets his minutes because of his defensive abilities, but Shump doesn't need to do too much at $3,500 to please fantasy owners. He will never blow anyone away with his offense, but heads into an intriguing matchup where his past performances are irrelevant.

The Cavaliers have been hot all season, coming off a 135-point win against the Portland Trailblazers. The same could very well be the case against a struggling Dallas Mavericks squad that have lost seven in a row. We could see a situation where the Cavs are up big early, ushering Shump onto the floor for an increased amount of time.

Jeff Teague - PG, vs BK ($6,900)

Jeff Teague has been an interesting daily fantasy option in the early going of the 2016 campaign. If he's not putting the ball in the hoop, he's posting a healthy amount of stats in other areas. He recently tallied five and six steals respectively in two of three games, and has accumulated seven or more assists in four of five games. Let's also add that he's posted two blocks in two straight games. And he has scored in double-digits in nine straight games, including five 20 or more point showings over that span.

The good news continues as the Indiana Pacers host a Brooklyn Nets team that has struggled against the point guard spot this season. Depleted with injury, the Nets don't have any real threat out of their backcourt. Teague should again feast and stuff his stat sheet. He should be drafted in all formats, especially for his price.

Also Consider: Darren Collison - PG, vs HOU ($6,100)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Wilson Chandler - SF, vs OKC ($5,900)

Wilson Chandler has been quietly producing for daily fantasy and seasonal leagues. He is a double-double threat and doesn't have to explode onto the stat sheet to reach value at his inexpensive price. Chandler has scored in double-digits and has posted nine rebounds in two straight games. He now heads into what should be a fast-paced contest against Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets will need similar production from Chandler in order to keep it close.

Kevin Love - PF, vs DAL ($7,800)

It's going to be extremely hard to avoid a player that scored 34 points in a single quarter in Cleveland's last contest on Thanksgiving Eve. It's almost guaranteed that he won't drop that many points in the first again, or maybe even in the entire game total, but Love has been a dominant force consistently even before his historic showing.

His 40-point performance against the Portland Trailblazers actually snapped a seven-game double-double streak. Love and the Cavaliers should continue rolling against a depleted Dallas Mavericks squad. This game could get out of hand early, but Love should be able to do enough damage to exceed projection at his daily affordable price.

Also Consider: Carmelo Anthony - SF, vs CHA ($7,600)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Karl-Anthony Towns - C, at PHO ($9,000)

I'm always a fan of spending up at the center position, especially for a player that is due for a bounce back performance. After posting only nine points against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Big KAT heads into a favorable matchup in a game that won't feature the freak they call Anthony Davis.

Tyson Chandler, the more defensively sound out of the center-pairing shared with Alex Len, will return to the court Friday night after missing four straight games. Chandler has only played in one contest over the team's last nine, so it is difficult to tell how ready he will be. Look for this game to be fast-paced, high scoring, and for Towns to get back on track.

Also Consider: DeMarcus Cousins - C, vs HOU ($10,300)
