Welcome to NBA Tuesday night! We have just four games on the slate tonight, but it's a fun one. Without D'Angelo Russell, this Warriors team is wide open and facing off against a Grizzlies team that plays fast. The Pelicans and Blazers are another game with a 215+ over/under, so there will be plenty of offense for a short slate. Let's dive right in!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/19/19. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also check out today's DraftKings lineup picks.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Ky Bowman - G, GS @ MEM ($4,700)
Bowman ended coming off the bench last game, but he still played 27 minutes and put up 30 fantasy points. He’s not afraid to shoot the ball and I would expect at least 28 minutes in this game after he impressed in the last one. The match-up against Memphis is a solid one and he’ll see Ja Morant defense, who’s more worried about scoring the ball himself. Jamal Murray just had his biggest game of the season against this defense. Bowman is my favorite value play at guard.
C.J. McCollum - G, POR @ NO ($7,400)
You can obviously play Lillard, but McCollum is cheaper and shooting guard is pretty ugly. After a tough start to the season, McCollum has turned it on of late and has been over 30 fantasy points in five of the last six games. This is one of his best match-ups yet and I’m projecting 35. He’s too cheap on FanDuel and a great play in both cash games and tournaments.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Anthony Davis - F, LAL vs. OKC ($11,200)
With Davis $800 cheaper than LeBron on FanDuel, I’m leaning his way. Even if both were the same price, I think it’s about time Davis has a big game. LeBron should feed him early and often here and I’m projecting a 60-fantasy point night. The Thunder don’t have anyone to guard him and they play at a faster pace than the Lakers. There isn’t a whole ton to spend up for on this slate and Davis is my favorite superstar.
Rodney Hood - F, POR @ NO ($4,500)
Rodney Hood has played 30 minutes in each game since returning from injury. He now gets to face off with a Pelicans team that plays extremely fast and gives up more open threes than anyone. Hood is a safe bet for 25 fantasy points, but it wouldn’t be crazy if he got hot and reached 40. He’s far too cheap on FanDuel and a lock in all formats.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Jonas Valunciunas - C, MEM vs. GS ($7,800)
Valunciunas is getting 22+ minutes no matter the match-up, and you have to think he smashes in every minute he’s on the floor here. When he sees the minutes, 30 fantasy points is a reasonable expectation. WCS isn’t a very good defender and I expect Valunciunas to put up nearly two fantasy points per minute when on the court. He’s used a ton offensively and the fast-paced Warriors will offer up plenty of rebounds for him to grab.
