As always, there are a few great options tonight. There are also a few injuries that need to be monitored before the game starts. Keep this in mind during lineup construction.
In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 11/20/15. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

DraftKings DFS Point Guards
Brandon Knight (at DEN, $7,500)
The top players are obvious tonight, but Knight is somewhat sneaky. Some people tend to look at the elite options and cheap options, which is when Knight gets overlooked. He gets a great matchup against the Nuggets, and this game will be fast paced and high scoring. Knight is a major part of the Suns offense, as he’s averaging over 20 points and 4 rebounds per game this season. His price isn’t too high yet, and he has loads of upside. He’s a great GPP option, but he can also be used in a few cash games.
Jeremy Lin (vs PHI, $4,200)
Lin has been playing extremely well with P.J. Hairston out, as he has scored 22.75 and 29.75 fantasy points in his last two starts. He gets a great matchup against the Sixers tonight, who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Lin may also get a few extra minutes with the blowout factor, as the Sixers have consistently been facing backups this season. Lin has great ability, as he can fill the stat sheet in limited minutes, and he’s a great GPP option tonight.
DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards
James Harden (at MEM, $10,400)
Harden looked unbelievable in his first game with his new head coach, as he scored 45 points with 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 block, and 5 steals (84.5 fantasy points). He took a ridiculous 29 shots and also shot 20 free throws. He gets a good matchup against the Grizzlies tonight, who have had some defensive struggles this season. Harden is a triple double threat every time he stops on the court, and he’s a great elite option if you don’t want to pay up for someone like Russell Westbrook.
Allen Crabbe (vs LAC, $3,300)
Crabbe is only a GPP flier option tonight, but he does come with great upside. He has the ability to score in the 25+ fantasy points, and he has scored over 20 fantasy points three times in his last 10 games. His minutes have been up a bit because of the injury to Meyers Leonard, and he is coming off a game in which he played 39 minutes. His minutes are anything but certain, but she should easily exceed value if he continues to see high minutes. Again, he’s a GPP only option, but he will save you some salary and does have good upside.
DraftKings DFS Small Forwards
Danilo Gallinari (vs PHO, $6,300)
Gallinari has posted a few gems this season, but he has also posted a few duds. Overall, he’s averaging 18.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game this season. He has great upside, as he recently scored 55 fantasy points against the Pelicans. Tonight, he gets another great matchup against the Suns, who will be playing little defense at an extremely fast pace. That means there will be plenty of opportunities for Gallinari to score fantasy points, and he’s a great GPP option tonight.
Jeff Green (vs HOU, $3,900)
Green has seen his minutes rise over the last couple of games, but his price hasn’t followed as quickly as it should. He’s averaging just over 30 fantasy points per game in those three games, and there’s very little reason to believe he will see his minutes cut tonight. He gets a good matchup against a fast pace Houston team, and Green is essentially the main scoring option for Memphis. He has great upside, and he’s also fairly safe for this price tag. Green can be used in all leagues tonight.
DraftKings DFS Power Forwards
Thaddeus Young (at BOS, $6,400)
At this point, you’d have to be insane to avoid Thad Young. He has scored 40.5, 40.25, and 50.0 fantasy points in his last three starts, and he’s one of the hottest players in the NBA right now. He’s scoring at a high rate, but he’s also rebounding and stealing the ball extremely well. He gets a great matchup against a weak Boston frontcourt, and Young is arguably the best play for his price tonight. He can, and should, be used in all leagues for as long as he’s this hot.
Terrence Jones (at MEM, $6,000)
T-Jones is coming off a disappointing game, but he did play 30 minutes in that game. Jones has been able to put up outrageous fantasy numbers in limited minutes this season, and he has tremendous upside if he continues to play 30+ minutes per game. Tonight, he gets a good matchup against the Grizzlies, who haven’t been playing defense all that well this season. Jones’ price is only going to go up from here, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Andre Drummond (at MIN, $9,900)
There really isn’t any reason to avoid Drummond tonight. On the season, he’s averaging 19.1 points and 18.9 rebounds per game. He has double doubled in every game this season, and he has also been able to put together multiple 20-point, 20-rebound games this season. He has 70+ fantasy point upside, and his floor is around 40 fantasy points. Drummond has one of the best fantasy floor/ceiling combinations in the NBA, and he’s a great play in all leagues.
