FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/24/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on August 24, 2020. Dennis Clausen provides NBA DFS analysis and sleeper picks for building optimal DFS rosters.

On Sunday, we saw the first two eliminations of the postseason, as the Nets and Sixers will both leave the confines of the bubble to head home. With a new week on the horizon, the Pacers will look to avoid being the third team to be swept during the playoffs, with Indiana squaring off against the Miami Heat.  As far as injuries are concerned, we have a few significant absences on Monday as Russell Westbrook and Domontas Sabonis will remain sidelined for Game 4 of their respective series. Meanwhile, Steven Adams and Aaron Gordon will both be a game-time call.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 8/24/20. You can also check out today's DraftKings lineup picks. Remember to monitor injury news as the slate can completely change before lineups lock.

Feel free to give me a follow on Twitter @DennisMClausen. Good luck.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Jimmy Butler, SF - @ IND ($8,500)

Despite Butler's string of compelling performances, his price hasn't been impacted as much. He accumulated 51.6 fantasy points in Game 1, 36.4 in Game 2, and 49.6 in Game 3. He is looking better than ever and could have another strong showing as the Heat attempt to send the Pacers back to Indiana by the end of Game 4.

Malcolm Brogdon, PG - vs. MIA ($7,600)

After starting the first month of the regular season averaging 22 points per game, Brogdon saw his numbers regress while also missing time due to injury. It appears as if the additional time off did him well as he has been hot as of late, even though the Pacers have yet to win a game thus far during the postseason. Since Game 1 of this series against the Miami Heat, his fantasy production has steadily increased, with his latest output resulting in a 64.4 fantasy point performance.

Khris Middleton, SG - @ ORL ($6,600)

Middleton didn't have the best start to the series against the Magic and averaged around 22 fantasy points during the first two games, thanks mainly in part to some horrific shooting performances. The 29-year-old is no stranger when it comes to subpar numbers on the shooting end (at times), but he looked like he was back on track in Game 3 when he dropped 17 points while shooting 42.9 from deep.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

LeBron James, SF - @ POR ($10,500)

Including James in your roster will cost you a pretty penny, but it is worth it. Though he only scored 10 points in Game 2, he has nearly acquired a triple-double in his previous three games. Will he be able to hit that mark in Game 4 finally? It is highly likely that he can.

Jeff Green, PF - @ OKC ($5,500)

The decrease in production for Robert Covington has opened the door for Jeff Green to make some noise on the fantasy end. He has scored at least 15 points in each of his previous three games and is also averaging nearly 34 points during that time fame.

Danuel House, SF - @ OKC (4,800)

With the absence of Russell Westbrook, House has taken on an enhanced role for the Rockets. While his Game 1 production wasn't up to snuff, he averaged 30.15 over his previous two contests. If you are looking to save some cash, House has a solid upside and can be a difference-maker, especially in tournament lineups.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Hassan Whiteside, C - vs. LAL ($5,100)

Despite Jusuf Nurkic causing Whiteside to be relegated back to the bench, he is still making the most of his time on the floor. He will likely play between 20-25 minutes, depending on how Nurkic is playing, but he is still a double-double candidate and could also throw in a few blocks in the process.
