Congratulations to the Philadelphia 76ers! The Sixers finally won their first game on Monday night over the Minnesota Timberwolves after blasting out of the gate in the first half. The Sixers continue to find ways to lose. It's gotten to the point where it's not even laughable anymore. It's just plain sad. It's also upsetting for DFS purposes because it seems like studs that play the Sixers don't put up their maximum output. It's almost like the mid-tier players peak. Oh how I wish the Sixers were on the slate for tonight.
In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings and FanDuel for Tuesday, 11/24/2015. 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!

Point Guards
Stephen Curry (vs LAL, $10,900 FanDuel, $10,900 DraftKings)
Aside from his price, Curry's only downside is the extreme blowout potential. This one could turn into a laugher real quick which would most likely cut into Curry's minutes. Of course, it's also possible the Baby-Faced Assassin rips off 30 points in 24 minutes.
John Wall (vs. IND, $8,800 FanDuel, $8,400)
I tried hard- really, really hard- to find another point guard that offers solid value for the price, but I just could not find a safe option. By process of elimination, the safest pick outside of Curry is Wall. He is the floor general for the leageue's second fastest offense, but has struggled immensely this season with protecting the ball and dropping shots in general. He is making only 26.2% from behind the arc and his free throw percentage is down sixty points. For point guard, I'm going with Curry.
Shooting Guards
Avery Bradley (at ATL, $6,000 FanDuel, $5,500 DraftKings)
At this point in the article, I normally write something like, 'am I missing something here? Bradley has been crushing it and his price is staying put.' Although the thought stays the same here, I am a little concerned over Bradley's recent knee injury. He is listed as probable for Tuesday night's game, and there is nothing to show or read to dictate that he will not play. Hopefully the knee isn't too sore to hamper his ability. After it is all said and done, expect Bradley to continue his torrid pace of 20.2 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 2 APG and 2 SPG over his last five games.
C.J. McCollum (v. CHI, $6,600 FanDuel, $6,600 DraftKings)
Although he has cooled somewhat after his sizzling start to the 2015-16 campaign, McCollum is still priced rather low compared to his production. He is playing nearly 35 minutes per game and remains a focal point of the Blazer offense, as show by his 26.3% usage rate. Chicago's defensive efficiency is actually a wee bit better this season (97.0%) than last year (100.2%), but they're actually allowing 0.9% more three pointers this season. McCollum has been rather cold from behind the arc lately, but at some point he will go off again.
Small Forwards
Paul George (at WAS, $9,500 FanDuel, $9,900 DraftKings)
PG13 is an autoplay Monday night. The Wizards own the league's twelfth-worst defensive efficiency while playing with the league's second-fastest pace. Those are some great ingredients for a recipe of opportunity. That's just some of the good news. The great news is that George is a guy that stuffs the stat sheet. Even if he doesn't score a ton of points, he is still averaging over eight boards and five assists per game. He has only played one game this year in which he has not reached at or around 40 DFS points. Pay up for that type of consistency.
Andre Iguodala (vs LAL, $4,900 FanDuel,$5,200 DraftKings)
The Warriors are favored by 17 points on Tuesday night. Seventeen. That's absurd. It's also possible that Golden State covers the spread. At any rate, this game is going to be a blowout by halftime. As a result, bench players could see a little spike in minutes. It is important to stipulate 'could,' because the Warriors have done a fabulous job of spreading minutes around to several players. AI2 is one of those players that looks to benefit the most. He has played at least 26 minutes in nine straight games, dropping at least 20 DFS points in every game during that span. His floor is really high against the Lakers.
Power Forwards
Blake Griffin (at DEN, $9,200 FanDuel, $9,400 DraftKings)
In every format and across all contests, Griffin will most likely be heavily owned. The power forward position as a whole is a little underwhelming on the slate and Griffin has the best matchup by far. He is coming off a rather poor performance against Toronto in which he went 9/6/4 in only 28 minutes. The last time he had a poor game, he followed it with only 34 points, eight rebounds and nine assists. Expect the latter against the Nuggets.
JaMychal Green (vs. DAL, $3,600 FanDuel, $3,400 DraftKings)
If you are looking for a flier in tournaments, here it is. Starter Zach Randolph is listed as questionable with a sore knee and should he not go, Green is catapulted to the starting lineup. Green is nearly a must play in tournaments in Z-Bo cannot suit up. He started last week in place of Randolph but he had a tough matchup against the Spurs. Dallas does not possess the same prowess as San Antonio, especially in the front court. It's hard to pass up a guy that is priced this low when he should see 30-plus minutes.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Nikola Jokic (vs. LAC, $4,300 FanDuel, $4,000 DraftKings)
Marc Gasol will most likely be the high scorer of the night at the position. But for sheer upside in tournaments, I like Jokic and the potential return on investment he brings. He has recorded a double-double in two out of his last three games and seems to be hitting his stride. If Kenneth Faried is a no go Tuesday night, Jokic's value only goes up as he will become the primary front court option for the Nuggets.
