There are quite a few injuries tonight that we can take advantage of. For starters, it looks like Boogie Cousins will be out tonight, which opens shots for the SacTown players. You'll see a few more in this article.
In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 11/25/15. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.
Without wasting anymore time, let's get down to it!

DraftKings DFS Point Guards
Rajon Rondo (at MIL, $9,300)
Rondo has been playing unbelievably well recently, as he’s averaging 13.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 14.2 assists, and 2.2 steals per game over the last 10 days. The matchup against the Bucks isn’t ideal, as they have defended point guards well this season, but Rondo should have a higher usage rate with Boogie Cousins out tonight. Rondo can nearly be penciled in for a double double tonight, but he also has the ability to triple double. He’s a great play in all leagues.
Jerryd Bayless (vs SAC, $4,400)
The Bucks haven’t really had a set rotation this season, but Bayless has been playing fairly high minutes on a consistent basis recently. He’s coming off a great game, which flashed his upside, as he scored 34.5 fantasy points in 31 minutes. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Kings, who have struggled as a defense. Bayless certainly comes with risk, as he has scored under 20 fantasy points in big minutes already this season. He doesn’t need many fantasy points to pay off his price tag, and he will likely either exceed value or flop tonight. That means he can only be used in GPPs.
DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards
Eric Bledsoe (vs NO, $8,400)
Bledsoe is listed as questionable with a sore knee, but he is expected to start tonight. He has been enjoying a great season, as he’s averaging 23.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. He has flashed triple double potential at times this season, and he has also been scoring quite a bit. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Pelicans team, who he burnt for 48.25 fantasy points earlier in the season. If Bledsoe is announced at full health, he can be used in all leagues tonight. If he’s still recovering, he’s a good GPP option.
Avery Bradley (vs PHI, $5,900)
Bradley has been playing ridiculously well recently, and he has scored 20+ points in four of his last five games. He has also scored 38+ fantasy points in three of his last four games, and he’s playing extra minutes right now because of the injury to Marcus Smart. Bradley has taken on a scorer’s mentality, and he gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Bradley is my favorite play on the night, and he can be used in all leagues.
DraftKings DFS Small Forwards
Rudy Gay (at MIL, $7,000)
Cousins is listed as questionable tonight, but the reports are that he is unlikely to play. That will open up more opportunities for Gay to score, and he’s coming off a great 28-points, 10-rebound game. He also gets a great matchup against the Bucks, who have been the worst team in the NBA against small forwards this season. Gay’s price is extremely low right now, and he should be able to hit value if Boogie Cousins is out. He makes a great stacking option with Rondo tonight.
Robert Covington (at BOS, $4,800)
Sir Robert Covington has had his minute’s restriction removed a couple games ago, and he has been easily exceeding value. In his last two games, he has scored 32.5 and 35.5 fantasy points, which far and away exceeds what he needs for value. He’s one of very few Sixers playing big minutes, and he has always been a great shooter. He gets a good matchup against the Celtics, who have been struggling on defense this season, and Covington makes a great play in all leagues.
DraftKings DFS Power Forwards
Paul Millsap (at MIN, $8,200)
Millsap has been playing extremely well recently, and he has been enjoying a great overall season. It’s amazing that he is the fifth most expensive power forward on the slate, as he has been playing much better than some of the guys ahead of him. He is averaging 49.7 fantasy points per game over his last three games, and he gets a great matchup against a fast paced Minnesota team tonight. Millsap is a great play in all leagues, as he’s likely to hit value and he also has great upside.
Tristan Thompson (at TOR, $5,800)
Thompson’s price continues to climb, but it’s still entirely too cheap. He’s playing huge minutes for the Cavs, as Timofey Mozgov is currently injured, and Thompson is a tremendous rebounder. He’s nearly a lock for 10+ rebounds, and he should be able to double double if he can score. He gets a great matchup against the Raptors, who have been playing small ball with the injury to Jonas Valanciunas. Thompson has been hitting value recently, and he hasn’t hit true ceiling yet. He makes a great play in all leagues.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Andre Drummond (vs MIA, $9,400)
It’s tough to avoid Drummond on any slate, especially when his price is this low. After having a bad game, he responded with 15 points and 15 rebounds in only 24 minutes his last game. He was eaten alive by Greg Monroe in the paint, which is why his minutes were low, as SVG tried to use a more defensive lineup. His minutes will likely go back to normal tonight, which means Drummond has tremendous upside and he likely has a decent floor, as well. He can be used in all leagues with a good matchup.
