DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (11/29/16): NBA DFS Advice

We have a nice six game slate today, which gives us some studs and some good value plays across the board. Great plays at every position tonight whether you are looking for cash options or GPP plays. Let's start the week of strong, so sit back, read up, and win some contests.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/29/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @DFS_Tom

DraftKings DFS Guards

Chris Paul - PG, @ BKN ($8,900)

CP3 is always a solid option at point guard and tonight he is up against the Nets who are allowing the most DraftKings points per game to point guards at 54. This game does have a bit of blowout potential as the Clippers are favored by 11 points, but it should still be fast paced since the over/under is set at 212 in Vegas. Paul could be used in cash or GPP, since he has a high floor and decent potential to go off versus a weak team.

George Hill - PG, vs HOU ($7,000)

Hill is good for a bit of savings and he has been putting up really solid numbers lately. He has three straight games of 37 or more DK points and is up against Houston's James Harden at point, who isn't the best on defense as the Rockets give up 44 points per game to point guards. I see George Hill as more of a cash game play since he has been consistent lately, but doesn't really have the upside to carry a GPP roster.

Sean Kilpatrick - PG, vs LAC ($5,300)

Kilpatrick is a great value play for tonight. As I mentioned before, the Clippers v Nets game should be fast paced, which is always good news for fantasy players. Kilpatrick is only $5,300 and has tallied 29 or more DraftKings points in his last three games. The Clippers are in the top half of defense when it comes to opposing point guards, but Sean Kilpatrick has a pretty solid floor, and his price has some good savings.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Anthony Davis - PF, vs LAL ($11,600)

Davis is the most expensive forward on the board tonight and he has a great match up. He is up against the Lakers who are fourth worst in the league vs power forwards, giving up 47 DraftKings points per game. Davis should almost certainly hit value tonight, as he has been on a bit of a hot streak lately, putting up 62 or more DK points in three straight games. He is a great option to build a GPP roster around.

Jon Leuer - PF, @ CHA ($4,400)

Jon Leuer has had some great production coming off the bench this year. He isn't in the "starting lineup" but he is seeing starter type minutes nearly every game. He is averaging 10 points and seven rebounds per game. He is averaging 22 DK points per game and has a pretty solid floor. He allows you some salary relief, especially in a GPP, if you are trying to fit Davis or Harden in one of your lineups.

Tobias Harris - SF @ CHA ($5,700)

Harris is an interesting option tonight and could go well in a bit of a game stack vs the Hornets. Tobias Harris is averaging 22 DK points over his last 6 games, and draws a favorable matchup vs the Hornets tonight who are allowing 43 DK points per game to small forwards. The spread for this game is four in favor of Charlotte, but this is the Hornets fourth game in five nights, so we could see them a bit slow, which would give the Pistons the chance to pour on the offense.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

DeAndre Jordan - C, @ BKN ($6,300)

DeAndre Jordan is always an interesting option at center because he never creates his own offense. He gets a ton of rebounds and easy put backs, but is the benefactor of having Chris Paul and Blake Griffin on the same team. He is averaging 31 DK points per game and is up against the Nets who are worst in the league vs centers giving up 54 points per game. Jordan has a great floor and is a really solid cash option.

Tristan Thompson - C, @ MIL ($5,200)

Thompson is a great cash play tonight, and I'm going to have him in my lineups. He has scored 31 DK points or more in three of his last four games, and has double-doubles in two straight games. Those stats are enough reason to roster him tonight, but he is also playing against the Bucks who give up 52 DK points per game to centers. For his price, and the consistent floor he has, I feel he is an auto lock tonight in cash lineups.
