Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks for FanDuel (12/4/16) - DFS Basketball Advice

It is a very short four-game slate tonight, so both high-upside and value options are going to be limited. There are two games to attack:

The New Orleans Pelicans against the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks. I choose the players I advise for my own lineup so if all goes downhill, Ill be tumbling down right next to you. Lets get rolling...

Editor's Note: New users that sign up on FantasyAces, make a $20 deposit, and enter any game will receive BOTH our full season NBA and NFL Premium Passes for free, a $119.99 value. Just email [email protected] with your new FantasyAces username - and boom, that's it! We will email you with your Premium Passes.

 

FanDuel DFS Guards

Russell Westbrook - PG, vs NOP ($12,600)

Russell Westbrook is outperforming expectations in around 90 percent of his  games, which is quite impressive considering his expectations are so high. He has over 50 fantasy points in eight straight games now. In six of those eight games, he reached over 60 fantasy points. Against the Denver Nuggets, he posted 72.4 fantasy points in 41 minutes. Tonight, he gets a good matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans in what should be the highest scoring game of the night. There is no reason to avoid him in 50/50 contests or tournaments. Find a way to make his high price tag fit into every lineup.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - SG, vs ORL ($5,700)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a solid value option tonight against the Orlando Magic. The Magic are not one of the better defensive teams in the league, and KCP has been playing well of recent for the Detroit Pistons. He has over 34 fantasy points in three straight games now. Two games ago, against the Boston Celtics, he posted 40 fantasy points in 35 minutes. He is shooting at will, and right now, those shots are dropping. Use him in all leagues until he cools down.

 

Also Consider:   Jamal Crawford - SG, vs IND ($3,800)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Anthony Davis - PF, at OKC ($11,900)

Anthony Davis, with the exception of Russell Westbrook, is the best fantasy option on the board tonight. Two games ago, against the Los Angeles Lakers, he posted over 75 fantasy points in 41 minutes. His upside is, obviously, through the roof. The Oklahoma City Thunder are not going to be able to stop him, and as long as he gets enough help to keep this game close, Davis will score early and often. He has over 60 fantasy points in three of his last five games. Use him in all leagues, but it is going to be difficult to fit him and Westbrook into the same lineup.

Kristaps Porzingis - PF, vs SAC ($7,500)

Kristaps Porzingis has been playing well of recent. He gets a good matchup against the Sacramento Kings tonight, and in his last three games, he has over 40 fantasy points in two of them. His price tag is very reasonable, and he makes for a solid option in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. The New York Knicks are finally letting him open up from the field, and he should continue to make strides on his way to making New York his team.

Also Consider:  Tobias Harris - PF, vs ORL ($5,800)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

DeMarcus Cousins - C, at NYK ($10,900)

DeMarcus Cousins has been playing well of recent for the Sacramento Kings, and he should be able to pick apart the terrible New York Knicks' defense tonight. In his last three games, he has over 60 fantasy points in two of them. He is cheaper than Anthony Davis, and while he is a bit more consistent, his upside is a bit lower. Use Anthony Davis more in tournaments, while Cousins makes for a better 50/50 option. That said, both players can, obviously, be used in all leagues.

Also Consider: Andre Drummond - C, vs ORL ($7,900)
