DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/13/23): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

There won’t be a ton of action in the NBA on Monday with just four games scheduled. There are still some quality matchups, though, including the Knicks taking on the Celtics. The Cavaliers will also travel to Sacramento to face the Kings.

Unfortunately, injuries remain a concern, despite the limited slate. De’Aaron Fox (ankle) is listed as doubtful for the Kings and Gary Trent Jr. (foot) is questionable for the Raptors. On the bright side, Damian Lillard (calf) is listed as probable for the Bucks after having missed their last two games.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 11/13/23. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool, as the slate can completely change before lineups lock at 7:30 PM EST.

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Donovan Mitchell, CLE at SAC – PG/SG ($9,300 DK; $10,000 FD)

Mitchell’s first season with the Cavaliers was certainly a success and he has been even better this season. Through their first nine games, he has averaged 29.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.3 steals, and 3.3 three-pointers. Some of that has been aided by Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen missing time, but Mitchell in on pace to have a usage rate of at least 32.1 percent for the fourth straight season. That leaves him with a high floor for DFS.

Dennis Schroder, TOR vs. WAS – PG ($6,600 DK; $6,700 FD)

With only four games on the schedule, expect to see a lot of players from the Raptors included in lineups based on this matchup. The Wizards have been horrible, posting the fifth-worst defensive rating in the league. They have also played at the fastest pace, leaving even more opportunities for their opponents to stuff the stat sheet. Schroder has replaced Fred VanVleet at point guard and averaged 16.7 points and 7.9 assists over nine games. Look for him to exploit this matchup.

Coby White, CHI at MIL – PG ($5,400 DK; $5,500 FD)

The Bulls need White’s ability to shoot three-pointers. It’s one of the reasons why he was named their starting point guard at the beginning of the season. He has shot a disappointing 30.9 percent from deep through 10 games, but the added playing time that has come with his new role has propelled him to averages of 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. That at least makes him a viable option against a Bucks team that has played at the fourth-fastest pace.

Also Consider: Damian Lillard, MIL vs CHI – PG ($9,200 DK; $8,600 FD); Zach LaVine, CHI at MIL – SG/SF ($7,800 DK, $7,700 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs. CHI – PF/C ($11,100 DK; $11,400 FD)

Giannis is a nightmare matchup for the Bulls. They have some good defensive guards, but their interior defense is a weakness. Last season, Giannis averaged 27.7 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 5.7 assists in three games against them. His salary will do a number on your budget, but Giannis could still be well worth it.

Scottie Barnes, TOR vs. WAS – SF/PF/PG ($9,000 DK; $9,400 FD)

It’s tantalizing to think of the stat line that Barnes could emerge this game with. As we’ve already mentioned, the Wizards are one of the most appealing teams to target in DFS. Barnes is playing a ton of minutes and has taken his game to the next level with VanVleet gone. The result has been gaudy averages of 20.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.4 steals, and 2.0 blocks. Don’t expect the Wizards to slow him down.

Max Strus, CLE at SAC – SF/SG ($5,700 DK; $5,400 FD)

Wing depth will be a concern for the Cavaliers with Isaac Okoro (knee) ruled out against the Kings. He might not provide much of a scoring punch, but he has averaged 29 minutes per game. Across the last three games that he has missed, Strus has provided 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 3.0 three-pointers.

, two steals, and one block. Memphis could have severe depth issues again for Friday's in-season tournament encounter with Utah, meaning Aldama is worth considering in any DFS format.

Also Consider: Jayson Tatum, BOS vs. NY – SF/PF ($10,000 DK; $10,600 FD); Deni Avdija, WAS at TOR – SF/PF ($6,300 DK; $5,900 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Domantas Sabonis, SAC vs. CLE– C/PF ($10,100; $10,100 FD)

Facing Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen is not ideal for any big man. However, we only have four games to choose from in this slate and Sabonis is one of the most talented centers at our disposal. He should also be in a leading role for the Kings with Fox listed as doubtful. With his ability to stuff the stat sheet in so many different areas, Sabonis can still emerge from this matchup with a stellar stat line.

Pascal Siakam, TOR vs. WAS – C/PF ($8,000 DK; $7,700 FD)

It has been a slow start for Siakam. His usage rate has dropped to 23.8 percent, compared to the 27.2 percent mark that he recorded last season. Normally an efficient player, he is also shooting just 43.9 percent from the field. He hasn’t been a total wash, though, with averages of 17.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists. This could be just the matchup that he needs to get back on track.

Bobby Portis, MIL vs. CHI – C/PF ($5,400 DK; $5,700 FD)

Although the Bucks should get Lillard back for this game, Jae Crowder (groin) has already been ruled out. He has been a key role player for them, averaging 27 minutes per game. That could lead to some added minutes for Portis, who can also take advantage of the Bulls’ lack of a defensive presence in the middle. He has historically played well against his former team, averaging 14.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in 15 career games against them.

Also Consider: Nikola Vucevic, CHI at MIL - C ($7,600 DK; $7,700 FD), Daniel Gafford, WAS at TOR – C ($5,500 DK; $5,800 FD)
