There are six games on tonight. Boogie Cousins and Anthony Davis are going head-to-head to put a happy ending to everyone’s Election Day. While both of them are great options to build around, tonight the “cheaper” options of LeBron James and Damian Lillard are both playing at home against lesser teams. Basically one of these four are a must own and the superstars not going against another superstar are always more appealing.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/08/16. 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 @vladewet.

DraftKings DFS Guards

D’Angelo Russell – PG, LAL ($6,500) 

Russell has been alternating good games with bad games to start the season. After 11 points, five boards, and six assists in his last outing he is due for a good game. Even with those pedestrian numbers, he was still an above average daily fantasy option. The Lakers run through the second year point guard, so even on nights where D’Angelo doesn’t play his best ball he should contribute enough to make picking him up worth the cost.

Dennis Schroeder – PG, ATL ($6,100)

Over Schroeder’s last four games he seemed to turn the corner as the team’s starting point guard. He’s averaging 17 points and six assists over those contests. His last game against the Rockets he had a season high 12 assists. To beat Cleveland the Hawks will need Schroeder to have his best game of the year. The defending champs can’t go undefeated all year and taking the most explosive player going against them is always a good option. Especially if that player is a point guard because Kyrie and friends tend to have trouble with opposing guards.

Tim Hardaway Jr. – SG/PG, ATL ($3,600)

Kyle Korver is sitting this game out because of the birth of his child. Both Hardaway Jr. and Thabo Sefolosha will see more playing time as a result of Korver’s absence. Hardaway Jr. has managed to produce this season despite limited playing time and a crowded backcourt. After six games Hardaway Jr. has two with more than 20 points and two with five points or less. Because of his extremely low price and extra opportunity tonight is the night to risk taking Hardaway Jr.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Andrew Wiggins – SF, MIN ($6,000)  

After Saturday’s seven point performance in a blowout loss to the Thunder, Wiggins is due for a good game. Going against the Brooklyn Nets is exactly what any player wants after a rough outing. Wiggins went from averaging 24 points on 51% shooting to 20 points on 47% shooting just because of Saturday. The Timberwolves are in desperate need of a win and you can expect Wiggins to do everything in his power to try and get that first one in Brooklyn tonight.

Harrison Barnes – SF, DAL ($6,700)

Barnes has already passed 30 points twice this season after doing it just twice while with Golden State. As a result of Dirk Nowitzki’s injury, Barnes is expected to take on even more of the scoring load. After an offseason of people saying he won’t be able to live up to his max contract the beginning of the season has shown that just isn’t the case. Barnes has been a steal at under $6,000 a night but is now being priced accordingly. If he keeps trending upwards then don’t expect to see him under 7k after a few more good nights.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Trevor Booker – PF/C, BKN ($4,900)

Booker has a double-double in half of Brooklyn’s game this season. He is actually a solid bet for production at his price point. Booker will never light it up in a special way but can be counted on to get his 30 minutes as a starter which is invaluable when filing out the bottom of a roster.

Jusuf Nurkic – C, DEN ($6,300)

After a bad performance in a back-to-back, Nurkic has had two days off and should bounce back in a big way. He is averaging close to a double-double with 13.3 points and 9.8 rebounds a game. The front court mosh pit of Nurkic, Nikola Jokic, and Kenneth Faried has sorted itself out with Nurkic coming out on top.

Tyson Chandler – C, PHO ($5,000)

Chandler currently ranks third in the league with 13.3 rebounds a game. While his scoring and defensive totals still leave much to be desired, he can be counted on to post double digit rebounds and that translates to good daily numbers. Averaging 26 fantasy point per game for his price is a rare deal. The most encouraging part of Chandler’s play is that he is holding off all of the young big men on Phoenix’s roster. His minutes have remained consistent meaning he can be trusted to produce going forward.
