Tonight is only a short six-game slate, so only the diehard fantasy basketball players will come out of the woodwork to fire a couple of lineups into tournaments and cash games. After reading this article, you can be one of those diehard fantasy basketball players. Here is a list of the best plays of the night for FanDuel.

These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/27/16. 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...

FanDuel DFS Guards

James Harden - SG, at POR ($11,400)

On a short six-game slate, James Harden is almost a must play tonight against the Portland Trailblazers. Both the Rockets and the Trailblazers love to push the pace of the game, and Vegas, rightfully so, has this game as the highest scoring of the night. Harden is going to light up the scoreboard in order to keep the Rockets close enough to pull out a fourth quarter win. Even with his price tag, Harden can be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Jerryd Bayless - PG, vs CLE ($3,700)

Jerryd Bayless has been playing well for the Philadelphia 76ers in his last three games. He is playing around 25-30 minutes per game right now, and he has been producing at an effective rate. With over 15 fantasy points in two straight games now, he is no joke. Against the Memphis Grizzlies, a staunch opponent by the way, he posted just under 30 fantasy points in 30 minutes. With that kind of upside, on a short slate, it is important to use Bayless in all leagues.

Also Consider: Devin Booker - SG, vs DEN ($5,800)

FanDuel DFS Forwards

LeBron James - SF, at PHI ($10,000)

Rostering players like Jerryd Bayless will open up the possibility of rostering players like LeBron James. Two games ago, against the Portland Trailblazers, he posted over 65 fantasy points in 38 minutes. Tonight, he gets a much easier matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, but if the Sixers can keep the game close, and they have been so far this season, James is going to have a monstrous game. He will likely want to take the lead of Russell Westbrook for the most triple-doubles in the league.

Jabari Parker - PF, at ORL ($6,600)

Jabari Parker is one of the best tournament options in the league tonight against the Orlando Magic. He has over 35 fantasy points in two of his last three games, and he gets a good matchup against the Orlando Magic tonight. The Magic struggle against opposing big men, and Parker should be able to take advantage. He is an above-average scorer with the ability to contribute in those high-upside steals and blocks categories. His price tag is also very reasonable.

Also Consider: Ryan Anderson - PF, at POR ($4,500)

FanDuel DFS Centers

DeMarcus Cousins - C, at BKN ($10,400)

DeMarcus Cousins has over 50 fantasy points in four of his last five games. There is no reason to avoid him tonight against the Brooklyn Nets, a team that allows quite a few fantasy points per game to opposing centers. The Sacramento Kings are going to keep this game within striking distance, which means that Cousins will want to ball in his hands. A big 20 rebound, 20 point double-double is not out of the question tonight.

Also Consider: Clint Capela - C, at POR ($5,900)
