Dennis Clausen's top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for 11/5/17. Expert NBA DFS advice, sleepers & player recommendations for FanDuel and DraftKings.

DFS Guards to Consider

Dennis Schroder - G, @ CLE ($7,300 DK, $8,000 FD)

One of the best things that Atlanta has going for them is Dennis Schroder. Despite the fact that he plays for a garbage team, his play has been anything but as he is averaging 21 points, six assists and a steal per contest. Though he has been dealing with an ankle injury, he is designated as probable for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland. If he suits up, he should see plenty of minutes on a team that has been slammed with ailments as of late.

Eric Gordon - G, vs. UTA ($6,500 DK, $6,500 FD)

Eric Gordon has been playing very, very, very well since being inserted into the starting lineup in the absence of Chris Paul. As long as Paul remains on the shelf and the Rockets continue to play fast, put up a ton of points and shoot a bunch of three-pointers, Gordon should always be considered for any lineup, especially in DraftKings where you get extra points for shots from behind the arc.

Isaiah Taylor - G, @ CLE ($3,300 DK, $3,300 FD)

As mentioned, Atlanta is dealing with a crap load of injuries at the moment which presents a nice opportunity to get some production for a low price. Isaiah Taylor played 25 minutes against Houston a few nights ago and did well for himself, scoring 12 points and dishing out five assists. He also had a steal and a block before the night was through. With Malcolm Delaney likely not playing due to an ankle issue, here is your guy to help offset the cost of the higher-priced stars on Sunday's tilt.

Other DFS Guards to Consider: Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Victor Oladipo, Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Shelvin Mack, Jodie Meeks (if John Wall sits)

 

DFS Forwards to Consider

LeBron James - F, vs. ATL ($11,600 DK, $11,500 FD)

There isn't one person on this planet who is playing NBA DFS on Sunday that should not have LeBron James in their lineup. After dropping 57 points on the Washington Wizards on Friday night, it appears as if he is fed up with the crappy play of his team as of late. The Atlanta Hawks are in for a world of hurt on Sunday afternoon because James will likely go crazy against them. Get him in your lineup.

Kristaps Porzingis - F, vs IND ($9,300 DK, $9,700 DK)

Kristaps Porzingis missed practice on Saturday due to an ankle issue but he is expected to play against the Pacers on Sunday.  Porzingis has been a monster this season, posting a career-best 29 points per game, crushing last season's mark of 18. He continues to gobble up the boards and is still a defensive nightmare, averaging almost two blocks.

Al Horford - F, @ ORL ($7,200 DK, $6,700 FD)

With Aron Baynes starting at center, at least in the short team, Al Horford has slid back to his natural spot at the four. Horford has been playing very well this season, averaging 14 points and nine rebounds per game. He also is shooting an accurate 46 percent from beyond the arc which will translate well against a team that is in the top five in opponent three-pointers per game.

Other DFS Forwards to Consider: Paul George, Aaron Gordon, Carmelo Anthony, Evan Fournier, Kyle Kuzma, Kelly Oubre, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Josh Jackson (if T.J. Warren sits), Luke Babbitt, Jae Crowder

 

DFS Centers to Consider

Marc Gasol - C, @ LAL ($7,900 DK, $8,400 FD)

Marc Gasol is playing fantastic this season and is averaging 20 points, nearly 10 boards and two blocks per game. That is a lot of fantasy points potentially, especially against a Los Angeles team that is having their issues in the middle. Memphis does tend to play at a slower pace, which is always something to keep in mind, but will likely be forced to quicken things up against a youthful Lakers team.

Ed Davis - C, vs OKC ($3,900 DK, $4,500 FD)

I have really enjoyed having Ed Davis in my lineups. He's not going to get you a million points but at such a low asking price, he is one of the those guys who can get you what you need when you are strapped for cap space. He doesn't score a ton but will come in, grab some boards, block a few shots and then leave the game. Boom, easy points right there.

Other DFS Centers to Consider: DeWayne Dedmon, John Collins. Jusuf Nurkic, Enes Kanter
