Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks for FanDuel (11/22/16) - DFS Basketball Advice

It is a short four-game slate, so finding value is going to be very important. This article provides a few solid, cheap options at each position. It should be an interesting night with the New Orleans Pelicans playing the Atlanta Hawks, and more importantly, the Oklahoma City Thunder playing the Los Angeles Lakers.

These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/22/16. 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 rolling…

Just email [email protected] with your new FantasyAces username - and boom, that's it! We will email you with your Premium Pass.

 

FanDuel DFS Guards

Russell Westbrook - PG, at LAL ($11,800) 

Russell Westbrook continues to make a great play in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. In his last two games, he has over 60 fantasy points in both of them. He is consistently putting up big numbers in big minutes. In his last game, which was against the Indiana Pacers, he shot the ball 34 times. He is the only player in the league, aside from James Harden perhaps, that will shoot that many times in one game. He also had 11 rebounds and 15 assists, so he is not a pure scorer. Use him in all formats without hesitation tonight against the pesky Los Angeles Lakers.

Jrue Holiday - PG, at ATL ($7,900)

Jrue Holiday started the season off in a state of uncertainty regarding the future of his wellbeing. His pregnant wife had a few complications, and he took some time off to be with his family, rightfully so. On Friday, he returned against the Portland Trailblazers and immediately went to work. He posted 36.9 fantasy points in only 23 minutes on the court. In his last game, he posted the same number of fantasy points in 30 minutes. He gets a decent matchup against the Atlanta Hawks tonight, and he should continue to play well. Holiday is a very high-upside fantasy option. Use him in tournaments.

Also Consider:  Lou Williams - SG, vs OKC ($5,100)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Jimmy Butler - SF, at DEN ($8,600)

Jimmy Butler is not as consistent as fantasy owners would like, but he does have huge upside, and he tends not to flop entirely. In his last game, which was against the Los Angeles Lakers, he posted just under 60 fantasy points in 40 minutes. He plays big minutes every game. Last season, he did the same thing and never tired. He should be able to reach the 40 fantasy point mark tonight against the Denver Nuggets' terrible defense, and his upside is obviously right around 65 fantasy points. At the small forward position tonight, that is about as good as it gets. Roster him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Kristaps Porzingis - PF, vs POR ($7,200)

It looks like Kristaps Porzingis is finally starting to find his groove. In his last four games, he has over 30 fantasy points in all of them. Three games ago, against the Detroit Pistons, he posted over 50 fantasy points in 40 minutes. If Carmelo Anthony allows him to take over the offense every now and again, Porzingis is going to turn into a fantasy stud. He is shooting the ball around 15-20 times per  game right now, and with solid rebounding, he double-doubled in half of his last four games. The Portland Trailblazers are going to push the pace of the game, and with Joakim Noah out, Porzingis could be forced to play a couple extra minutes. Use him in tournaments.

Also Consider:  Kent Bazemore - SF, vs NOP ($4,900)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Guillermo Hernangomez - C, vs POR ($3,500)

Joakim Noah is currently ill. He is doubtful to play tonight against the Portland Trailblazers, which is going to open up minutes for Guillermo Hernangomez. Hernangomez played 29 minutes in his last game, which was against the Atlanta Hawks, and ended up posting over 15 fantasy points. For his price tag, that is decent. Tonight, he gets a better matchup against the Portland Trailblazers, and he should be slightly more adjusted to playing with the starters. He is not going to shoot the ball often, even though he is shooting very effectively this season, but he will grab quite a few rebounds. It is tough to trust him in 50/50 contests, but it is also tough to avoid a minimally-priced center that will see around 30 minutes on the court.

Also Consider: Steven Adams - C, at LAL ($4,900)
