When will DraftKings raise Jeff Green's price to even close to where it should be? I mean, seriously, it's still entirely too cheap, and they have given it a price bump each of his last couple games.
In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 11/21/15. 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
John Wall (at DET, $8,600)
Wall is the only “elite” point guard on the slate, as he’s averaging 17.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 2.0 steals per game this season. He gets a good matchup against the Pistons, and this game should be fairly fast paced and high scoring. Wall has the ability to triple double, although he’s much more likely to only double double. He does, however, contribute in all five categories, which gives him great upside, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Mario Chalmers (at SA, $3,700)
Chalmers is only a deep GPP play, but he does possess a ton of upside with his new team. The Grizzlies are in dire need of a scorer off the bench, and that’s why they traded for Chalmers. He’s quickly earning minutes, and he has been scoring at a great rate for the Grizzlies in his first few games. He does come with a bit of risk because he relies so heavily on scoring, but he’s cheap and his upside will only continue to go up as he earns more minutes. He’s too risky for cash games right now, but he’s an extremely high upside GPP play.
DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards
Monta Ellis (vs MIL, $6,300)
Hill and Stuckey are both questionable again, and if they miss the game tonight, Ellis will take control of the offense again. He has been playing extremely well recently, which has a lot of do with the recent injuries. Still, Ellis can be used in GPPs if Hill and Stuckey return tonight, as well. He gets a good matchup against the Bucks, who haven’t been a great defensive team this season. Ellis is contributing in all five categories right now, which is somewhat surprising for him. He’ll continue to make a great play while he’s hot, and he can be used in the specific leagues based on the status of both George Hill and Rodney Stuckey.
Tyler Johnson (vs PHI, $3,900)
Johnson has a few things working in his favor tonight that will make him a solid GPP flier. First, his price is extremely cheap and he doesn’t need many fantasy points to hit value. Second, he has been hot, as he has scored 30+ fantasy points in two of his last three starts. Third, his minutes haven’t taken a hit, even with Wade and Green back from injury and suspension. Last, he gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA, and Johnson will likely see minutes if this game becomes a quick blowout. He isn’t a consistent fantasy contributor, which makes him a GPP only option, but he’s a very good one at that.
DraftKings DFS Small Forwards
Paul George (vs MIL, $9,700)
Anytime PG13 is playing, I will be considering him. He has been unbelievable recently, as he’s averaging 46.6 fantasy points in 36.0 minutes per game this season. He’s a triple double threat every time he steps on the court, and he has scored 40+ fantasy points in eight straight games. If George Hill and Rodney Stuckey are out again, PG13 will do more ball handling, which will give him even more upside. The Bucks have been the worst team in the NBA against small forwards this season, and PG13 makes a great play in all leagues, as he isn’t priced as high as some of the other elite options.
Jeff Green (at SA, $4,500)
Green’s price continues to shoot up, but there’s really no reason to avoid him at this price. He has been playing extremely well recently, and he’s one of very few scorers on the Grizzlies team. Green is going to play heavy minutes, and he will be shooting early and often. The Spurs aren’t a great team to use players against because of how slow they play, but Green is cheap and won’t need too much to hit value. He can be used in all leagues.
DraftKings DFS Power Forwards
Kevin Love (vs ATL, $8,100)
Love has been playing extremely well recently, recording double doubles in three of his last four games. He has scored 45 or more fantasy points in four of his last 10 games, and he has displayed great upside. He’s a fairly large part of the Cavs offense, and he gets a good matchup against the Hawks, who have struggled against big men this season. As an added bonus, Love has played significantly better at home this season, and they will be playing in Cleveland tonight. By significantly better, I mean he is averaging nearly 10 more fantasy points per game in only 1 more minute per game. He’s a great GPP option.
Jabari Parker (at IND, $3,900)
Parker is off his low minutes restriction, and he has played 61 minutes in his last two games. Before he was injured last season, Parker was averaging 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.2 steals in 29.5 minutes per game. He’s a great young talent, and the Bucks will likely use him as an athletic power forward to cover PG13 tonight. Parker’s price is ridiculously low because of his injury, and he can be used in all leagues, as he doesn’t need many fantasy points to hit value.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Ian Mahinmi (vs MIL, $4,500)
There isn’t much to picking Mahinmi. He’s cheap and likely going to hit value, but it doesn’t look like he has all that much upside. He has been a five category contributor since getting a minutes bump with the injury to Myles Turner. His scoring has really dropped, however, as he has only scored six points in his last two starts. Even with his scoring struggles, he has been hitting value, and his price is still extremely low. He doesn’t need to score many fantasy points, and he has a little more upside than he has been displaying. He can be used in all leagues, but he’s best suited for cash games.
