DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (10/30/16): NBA DFS Advice

The NBA feels very top heavy this season. Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis, James Harden, and more continue to dominate. They seem to be the frontrunners for the MVP race, although you can't count out guys like LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, and Kevin Durant.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/30/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.Without wasting anymore time, let's get down to business!

DraftKings DFS Guards

Russell Westbrook - PG, OKC ($12,200)

Westbrook isn't going to come cheap, but he's the best play on the slate. He has nearly two triple doubles in his first two games, and he's a threat to triple double once again tonight. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers, who struggle defensively. They also love to push the pace, which will only give Westbrook more opportunities to score fantasy points. He's the most expensive player on the slate, but he can still be used in all leagues.

George Hill - PG, UTA ($5,800)

Hill has been a bigger part of the Utah offense than most people thought. He's playing big minutes, and he's scoring quite a bit. Surprisingly, he isn't adding many other stats, although he is doing more than enough to hit value. His price tag is on the rise, but it's still a bit too cheap. He gets a decent matchup against the Clippers, and Hill should continue to play a big part in the Jazz offense. He can safely be used in all leagues, as he doesn't come with much risk.

Wade Baldwin IV - PG, MEM ($3,300)

Baldwin had an impressive debut, in which he scored seven points with five rebounds, six assists, three steals, and three blocks. He's a player that can contribute in each of the five categories, which is fairly surprisingly for someone with his price tag. The Grizzlies are running at a much faster pace this season, and he gets a good matchup against the Wizards today. He isn't the safest option on the slate, but he is an elite salary relief option.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Kevin Durant - SF/PF, GS ($9,900)

The Warriors have quickly proven that their "Big Four" can work together. Kevin Durant is the obvious star of the team, as he recently scored 30 points with 17 rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and two steals against the Pelicans. He's playing big minutes for a fast paced team, and he gets a great matchup against the Suns, who also love to push the pace. He is still priced cheaply, and he can be used in all leagues.

T.J. Warren - SF, PHO ($5,000)

Warren has inserted himself in the "Big Four" for the Suns, which isn't quite nearly as good as some of the other teams All Stars. Still, those four players are taking the majority of the Suns shots, and Warren has tremendous upside. This season, he has one good game and one great game. He should little problems hitting value in this matchup, and he can be used in all leagues.

James Ennis - SF, MEM ($4,300)

Ennis is starting for the Grizzlies with Chandler Parsons injured. He is a major focus in their offense, but he does come with a low price tag. He's also the type of player that can catch fire and score a ton of points in a little amount of time. He gets a good matchup against the Wizards, and this game should be fairly fast paced. Ennis is essentially in play because of his low price tag rather than his actually talent.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Hassan Whiteside - C, MIA ($8,000)

The elite center options are great today, but Whiteside is the best option. His offensive role should continue to grow as the season progresses, and he already has elite upside because of his defensive stats. He gets a matchup against the Spurs, who haven't been the elite defense that everyone assumes they will be this season. Whiteside is the type of center that is matchup proof, and unless you're using a cheap option, I would highly recommend Whiteside.

Greg Monroe - C, MIL ($5,700)

Monroe is now coming off the bench, which could be great for his upside. He's playing against some backups, and he has looked great for the Bucks this season. He'll likely be playing around 30 minutes per game, but he's a player that can score over one fantasy point per game. He's still a little too cheap, and Monroe is a high upside tournament option.
