Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (11/19/17): NBA DFS Advice For FanDuel, DraftKings

The NBA features a six game slate on Sunday to satisfy your DFS appetite.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel and DraftKings on 11/19/17.

The DFS lineup picks featured in this article will mostly bypass the obvious choices and focus more on value plays. Let's not waste any time and jump right in!

 

DFS Guards to Consider

Kyle Lowry - PG, vs. WSH ($8,200 FD, $8,200 DK)

Kyle Lowry is back playing like the Kyle Lowry of old after getting off to a brutal start this season. After averaging a scary 13 points on 36 percent shooting in the month of October, the all-star has bounced back and is now averaging 16 points on a much improved 47 percent from the field and has also barely missed the triple-double mark over the past two games.

Bradley Beal - SG, @ TOR ($7,900 FD, $7,800 DK)

Bradley Beal has been a welcome addition to any fantasy roster this season and with good reason. The veteran has been very aggressive and is ranked in the top-10 in shot attempts per game. With Toronto struggling to defend opposing off guards this season, Beal should make a nice addition to your lineup.

Kris Dunn - PG/SG, @ PHO ($6,000 FD, $5,300 DK)

Kris Dunn is still working his way back into the rotation after recently coming back from a finger injury that he suffered during the preseason. Though he isn’t starting at the moment, which could change at a moments notice, he will likely see more minutes than Jerian Grant. With Phoenix giving up 34 points, 11 assists and nine boards to opposing point guards this season, this could be an efficient option at a bargain price.

Other DFS Guards to Consider: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Jamal Murray, Emmanuel Mudiay, Tyler Ulis

 

DFS Forwards to Consider

Paul Millsap - PF, @ LAL ($7,500 FD, $7,200 DK)

Though Paul Millsap’s best days may be behind him due to his advanced NBA age of 32 years young, he is still putting up good numbers. The big man is averaging 16 points, six boards and a block per game. In addition, he is averaging 30 minutes per contest which is plenty enough time for him to put up some fantasy points against an inefficient Lakers’ defense.

Lauri Markkanen - PF, @ PHO ($6,100 FD, $6,400 DK)

We expected to see Lauri Markkanen demoted back to the bench upon the return of “Lights Out” Bobby Portis but that wasn’t the case as the rookie continues to roll with the starting unit. He’s playing fantastic in his debut tenure in the league, averaging 14 points and seven boards per 48 minutes and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg to acquire his services either.

Markieff Morris - PF, @ TOR ($4,900 FD, $4,800 DK)

Markieff Morris has slowly been working his way back into a bigger workload after spending the offseason dealing with a hernia. Despite usually playing around only 20 minutes per affair, he has been productive with his time management skills, averaging 12 points over the past few contests. With such a favorable matchup against Toronto, he could be due for a breakout performance, especially in a contest that may be the highest-scoring game of the day.

Other DFS Forwards to Consider: T.J. Warren, Kevin Durant

 

DFS Centers to Consider

Hassan Whiteside - C, vs. IND ($8,900 FD, $8,900 DK)

Hassan Whiteside is a guy that you NEED in your lineup. Indiana has been absolutely atrocious against opposing centers. Need proof? Over the last three games we've seen Clint Capela drop 20 points and grab 17 boards followed by Marc Gasol scoring 35 and pulling down 13 rebounds. To top it off, in their last contest against the Detroit Pistons, Andre Drummond saw a state line of 11 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks. Get him in your lineup.

Marcin Gortat - C, @ TOR ($4,600 FD, $5,400 DK)

With Toronto focusing more on perimeter shooting this season, it has left them vulnerable underneath, which is where Marcin Gortat comes into play. He is always a threat for a double-double which would be great considering his asking price. He could come in handy especially if you are looking to spend your fantasy dollars at other positions on Sunday.

Other DFS Centers to Consider: Robin Lopez
