RADIO
It's a Sunday in the NBA, which always gets overshadowed at this time of the year as we enter Week 11 of the NFL season. However, we have a nice six-game DFS slate tonight on FanDuel, and a five-gamer on DraftKings. We have some fun matchups here, so let's take a look!
We have two teams on back-to-backs tonight: the Thunder and the Mavericks. Let's see how that affects some of our lineups and how we want to attack this slate.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 11/19/23. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool, as the slate can completely change before lineups lock at 6:30 PM EST on FanDuel, and 7:00 PM EST on DraftKings.

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Jrue Holiday, BOS vs. MEM – PG ($7,100 DK; $6,700 FD)
I'll start things off today with Jrue Holiday. Holiday went from being a pseudo-third option in Milwaukee to a fourth or fifth option in Boston. I doubt he's complaining too much, though. He's still bringing in a projected 18.53% usage tonight across 35 minutes. He projects to 14.68 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.42 assists, and should be a good spot tonight against a Memphis defense that ranks 30th in point guard efficiency (34.8).
Keyonte George, UTA vs. PHX – SG ($5,400 DK; $5,300 FD)
It'll be Keyonte George taking on point guard duties for the Jazz tonight. George is having a solid 2023-24 season to this point, averaging 8.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists. My model projects George to play up tonight, as he projects to 10.89 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists. This is a fine spot for George, as the Suns rank 12th in point guard efficiency. He's a solid mid-range/value option at the guard position tonight.
Others to consider: Devin Booker, Grayson Allen

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Kevin Durant, PHX vs. UTA – SG/SF ($9,900 DK; $10,100 FD)
I'll take a look at Kevin Durant next. KD and Devin Booker's usage has been through the roof in the absence of Bradley Beal. Beal will be out for the next few weeks, which means we can take advantage of these two in his stead. Durant projects to a 31.81% usage rate, along with 30.64 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.82 assists. He'll surely see some positive regression against the Jazz tonight, as his projected efficiency (39.5) is 5.5 points higher than his season average (34).
Grant Williams, DAL vs. SAC – PF ($4,800 DK; $4,600 FD)
I'll wrap things up at the forward position with Grant Williams. Of course, Dallas is one of the two teams on a back-to-back, heading home after falling to the Bucks last night. It's a bit concerning that Williams played 38 minutes last night, but I think he should play around 29 minutes in this one. He projects to a 13.09% usage rate along with 10.76 points, 3.45 rebounds, and 1.68 assists. While he's in there, he should play well against a Sacramento team that ranks 30th in power forward efficiency (29.4).
Others to consider: Jayson Tatum, Evan Mobley
DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Domantas Sabonis, SAC vs. OKC - C ($10,000 DK; $10,300 FD)
I'll start things off at the center position on the other side of the Mavericks and Kings game with Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis is having another solid season and finds himself in a very advantageous matchup against the Mavericks, who rank 23rd in center efficiency (34). Sabonis should play a ton of minutes tonight, and my model projects him to play around 36.5. On the stat sheet, Sabonis is projected to score 20.08 points while grabbing 13.77 rebounds and logging 7.3 assists.
Jusuf Nurkic, PHX vs. MIA – C ($6,500 DK; $6,400 FD)
I'll wrap things up with Jusuf Nurkic. It's the second week in a row where I'm writing about Nurkic, and as I mentioned with Kevin Durant, we'll target the pieces in the Suns offense. Nurkic is only projected to play 26 minutes but should do more than projects to 13.74 points, 9.57 rebounds, and 1.47 assists. The Jazz rank 22nd in center efficiency, so Nurkic should have himself a night while he's in the rotation.
