We've got a monster slate ahead of us tonight with 24 teams in action, tipping off at 7:00 EST. Surely we all have more important things to be thankful for this holiday season, but this certainly juices the pot for DFS-ers on Thanksgiving eve.
In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for FanDuel for 11/25/15. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.
If your strategy includes stacking players in games with high projected point totals, take a look at these matchups with the Vegas over/under listed in parenthesis: Brooklyn at Oklahoma City (211), Washington at Charlotte (204) and Atlanta at Minnesota (205). There are sure to be a few others worth considering, but Vegas hasn't set a number for every contest just yet.

FanDuel DFS Point Guards
Elfrid Payton (vs NYK, $6,500)
Payton is a little bit too inconsistent in the FanDuel points he generates to be a solid cash play in my opinion, but his usage and minutes do create a nice floor. Tonight, he's one of my favorite picks to exceed value and has a high enough ceiling to convince me I'll need a few Elfrid shares in my GPP's. In his last 10 games, he's exceeded his price implied value more than 60% of the time. His field goal percentage has been trending upward and he's doing a much better job of getting to the basket to create easy looks in year two. Even when he's not scoring the basketball, he does enough of the dirty work - steals, assists, rebounds - to average just under 25 FanDuel points per game.
Also Consider: Isaiah Thomas (vs PHI, $7,600)
FanDuel DFS Shooting Guards
Dwyane Wade (at DET, $7,200)
Like Elfrid, but for slightly different reasons, I'd look elsewhere for shooting guard if you're playing cash games tonight. James Harden is a guy you can start and end your search with. That said, Wade has shown me of late he's still got enough in the tank to go off for more than 40+ FanDuel points and he's still enough of a focal point of the offense that he doesn't have to worry about shooting opportunities. Tonight's matchup with Detroit is also appealing because Wade will have rested legs (Heat last played Monday) and Pistons' guards haven't been shutting down opposing two-guards.
Cash Game Play: James Harden (vs MEM, $10,400)
FanDuel DFS Small Forwards
Kevin Durant (vs BKN, $10,200)
Durant looked incredibly smooth and comfortable in his return Monday night from a hamstring strain that sidelined him for nearly two weeks, dropping 27 points in just 30 minutes of action. Now that he's feeling healthy, minutes wont be a concern and his usage should meet or exceed 30 - right at favorable mark it's been for his career. Tonight he has a favorable matchup with the Nets in what should be a fairly fast paced game that also has a high projected point total. The Nets aren't the most generous in allowing points to opposing small forwards, but they aren't stingy by any stretch of the imagination either.
Value Play: Joe Johnson (at OKC, $6,000)
FanDuel DFS Power Forwards
Kristaps Porzingis (at ORL, $6,700)
Three Six Latvia has been scorching of late, posting over 43 FanDuel points in three of the Knicks' last four games. We've has seen both his usage and minutes rise lately and a matchup against the Magic with a price below 7K means Porzingis is ripe for rostering in cash games. His ceiling makes him a worthy GPP play as well, especially since the Magic are extremely generous to opposing big men when it comes to fantasy production.
Also Consider: Paul Millsap (at MIN, $8,600)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Andre Drummond (vs MIA, $9,600)
With an incredibly high ceiling the regularity with which he can pull down double digit rebounds, Mr. Drummond is always in play in GPP formats. He hasn't been the same monster we saw earlier this month, but I like the fact that his price tag has dropped and his value could skyrocket tomorrow with Whiteside's injury, who is currently listed as questionable for this game. His roughly 35 FanDuel points per game over the last week is a far cry from the 70+ nights he has earlier in the year, but he's still exceeded his price implied value 50% of the time over his last 10 games.
Also Consider: Marc Gasol (at HOU, $7,800)
