DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/9/15

Two Detroit Pistons comprise part of my lineup, neither of which are the sizzling Andre Drummond. Different lineups with different players on back-to-back days often equals success, no matter how tempting it is to continuously pick guys like Drummond. I've been drooling over double-doubles lately, focusing heavily on guys that constantly teeter around one; or just players that are simply on fire. Check out my Daily NBA picks for DraftKings, 11/9/15.

DraftKings Point Guards

Reggie Jackson (at GS, 7,400)

Of course it would be easy to pick Stephen Curry, but let's focus on the point guard who will be bringing the ball up on the opposite side of the court. Facing the Warriors, Jackson will be in a battle with Curry, tacking on minute after minute, fantasy point after fantasy point. Andre Drummond is the center of the Pistons' offense, however it's Jackson who slices, dices and feeds him the ball. (Walt Frazier, move over) Oh, and let's not forget he's averaging close to 20 points per game, and the nights he's rebounding as well, averaging over 40 fantasy points per game. The amount of minutes Jackson plays are enough to draft him in any league.

T.J. McConnell (vs Chi, 5,300)

He hasn't dropped more than eight points in a game this season, but his price was 3,000 almost two weeks ago. Look where it is now. The undrafted rookie has sprinkled stats in each category of the scoresheet and has posted over 30 fantasy points three times. You don't need to depend on McConnell putting the ball in the basket for him to put a flame next to his score on your lineup. As long as his price doesn't rise anymore, find a spot for him.

 

DraftKings Shooting Guards

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (at GS, 5,000)

The second Detroit Piston to make the cut. A lot of it has to do with the team he is facing. A close game is likely, and if the Pistons are playing from behind, which is also likely, expect Caldwell-Pope to be shooting often. He isn't necessarily reliable or consistent or a player that'll put crooked numbers in each category, but for his price he does what a shooting guard is supposed to do - he scores. His 38.3 minutes played per game can't be ignored and will be a valuable asset against the defending champs.

Nik Stauskas (vs Chi, 4,800)

I like this kid a lot, mainly because he has already surpassed his total of games played last season. Stauskas is on a 76ers team that seem to lose as often as cheese steaks are made in Philadelphia, but that just adds to his value. Since the 76ers are playing from behind often, don't expect Stauskas to be rested or any of his minutes to be taken away. He has scored double digits in each game and shoots threes, resulting in an average of 25.3 fantasy points per game. His price has inflated as well, and while it still remains low, he can be used in any league.

 

DraftKings Small Forwards

Kawhi Leonard (at Sac, 8,100)

It's hard not to want to draft a player like Kawhi Leonard. The Spurs offense revolves around Leonard, a sun that constantly shines bright in San Antonio. He has posted over 30 fantasy points in each game this season, two of which went for 50 and 51. He is on the expensive side, but of course he is. Leonard is worth making room for, especially since he is shooting 50 percent from the field on the season. Tonight the Spurs face a Kings team who have relinquished 111.3 points per game. Need I say more?

Kent Bazemore (vs Min, 4,900)

Bazemore is coming off a season-best 25 point performance. He has been streaky but sometimes it's best to ride the hot hand. For his price, and for what he can contribute to any lineup, he's worth taking a chance on. Of course we all want a sure thing at each position, but Bazemore is playing on a 7-1 Atlanta Hawks that doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon. His inconsistency will not jeopardize his role on the Eastern Conference leading Hawks, and as they continue to produce, he will too.

 

DraftKings Power Forwards

Jordan Hill (vs Orl, 4,600)

Hill is a product of an injury to C.J. Miles in Indiana. With Paul George moving to small forward, Hill will get the nod again at power forward. He has back to back double-doubles (drool) and has shown he is more than capable of repeating his noteworthy performances. Hill won't blow you away with stats but has the ability to be a smart, consistent, and safe choice, especially because of his price tag.

Blake Griffin (vs Mem, 9,600)

While we are on the subject of double-doubles, and consistency, cue an explosive dunk from Blake Griffin. This one is a no brainer. Every time Griffin is playing, I want to pick him. He is the epitome of consistency in the NBA thus far this season, averaging 49.8 fantasy points per game. And with the ability to post a double-double every time his really cool Nikes touch the court, you'll get your money's worth, no matter how expensive.

 

DraftKings Center

Dewayne Dedmon (at Ind, 4,600)

Until normal starting center Nikola Vucevic returns from a bone bruise injury, Dedmon is the center to pick. For a big man, Dedmon can move up and down the court, is quick in transition, and benefits a Magic team looking to play at a fast tempo. According to NBA.com, the Magic have been 17.7 points per 100 possessions better defensively with Dedmon on the court. This means he will not only be an offensive threat, but a center that can throw up plenty of points in the defensive categories as well. For his price, and his newly acquired role on a promising Magic team, Dedmon can be used in any league. Just keep an eye on the status of Vucevic.
