FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/27/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

LaMelo Ball - Charlotte Hornets

Dennis Clausen highlights the top FanDuel NBA DFS lineup picks for 11/27/21, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

Oh, what an eventful night it was around the National Basketball Association. The post-Thanksgiving slate began with the matinee, featuring the Clippers taking down the Pistons in Los Angeles. Following, some of the hottest teams in the league were in action, with the Suns extending its current win streak to 15 games. The Hornets also improved to 8-2 over the last 10 by taking care of the Timberwolves, while the Warriors and Bucks each picked up its sixth consecutive victory. Of course, we'd be remiss for not mentioning the thrilling triple-overtime contest between the Kings and Lakers, resulting in Sacramento collecting another victory under recently appointed head coach Alvin Gentry.

Some of the other notable happenings around the league heading into Saturday's eight-game showcase include Ja Morant, who suffered a knee injury on Friday night. Although the team seemingly dodged a bullet after the diagnosis revealed a sprain, it is likely he won't be in the lineup for the foreseeable future, although stranger things have happened. Lastly, Nikola Jokic has now missed his last four games after not playing against Milwaukee due to a wrist issue. With Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray out of the picture as well, things aren't looking favorable in Denver at the moment.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel's "Main Slate" on 11/27/21. 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 NBA DFS lineup picks.

FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

James Harden, SG/PG - vs. PHO ($10,000)

Harden didn't have the best start to the year. In October, the former MVP averaged 18.6 points, 8.6 assists, and 7.6 boards. However, November has been better, as he's seen a significant increase in those categories, including on the scoring end. Harden has also been getting to the free-throw line some more recently, at least more than he was, attempting at least 10 shots from the charity stripe in four of his last seven games. Without a doubt, it appears the veteran is beginning to return to prominence after battling a nagging hamstring issue toward the end of last season, an injury that compromised his training regimen during the offseason.  

LaMelo Ball, PG - @ HOU (9,500)

Ball is getting dangerously close to entering the elite class of NBA superstars. He only needed 29 minutes of work against the Timberwolves to finish with a double-double. The sophomore guard has averaged 1.34 fantasy points per minute over the last month and draws a fantastic matchup against the Rockets on Saturday evening.

Also Consider: Zach LaVine ($8,000), Donovan Mitchell ($7,900), Lonzo Ball ($6,800), Terry Rozier ($6,600), Devonte' Graham ($5,400), Kelly Oubre Jr. ($5,000)

FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Kevin Durant, SF/PF - vs. PHO ($10,300)

There should be plenty of points up for grabs during the showdown between the Nets and Suns. Phoenix is hoping to build on its impressive streak, while Brooklyn is looking to make a statement. Durant will have to be involved for the Nets to pull off a win, so it's logical to assume he will be on the floor more than usual. While the MVP candidate's rostering cost is up there, there are enough value opportunities available for managers to get both Durant and Harden into their lineup to form a nasty stack.

Wendell Carter Jr., PF/C - @ CLE ($5,800)

With a rostering cost of only $5,800, it's hard to imagine carter not being in a ton of lineups, especially after his showing on Friday against the Chicago Bulls, his former team. Granted, Cole Anthony has been out with a sprained ankle, so if he's back on Saturday, Carter's ceiling will lower a bit. Still, the 21-year-old has been a solid producer and has a tremendous upside concerning the price.

Also Consider: Christian Wood ($7,000), Brandon Ingram ($7,600), Kevin Porter Jr. ($5,600), Bogdan Bogdanovic ($5,000), Eric Gordon ($4,900)

 

FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Jonas Valanciunas, C - @ UTA ($7,500)

Valanciunas thrived while Brandon Ingram wasn't available for seven consecutive games because of a hip issue. However, since then, he's regressed to some degree and has compiled less than 25.5 fantasy points in two of his last three games. Though that shouldn't make fantasy managers warm and fuzzy, his rostering cost should, mainly since his upside is much higher than others. Sure, he's going up against Rudy Gobert for the second time in as many games, but who cares? Let's go for the upside in tournament formats, especially since some will look in another direction.

Also Consider: Nikola Vucevic ($7,700), Mo Bamba ($6,800), Daniel Gafford ($4,800)
