DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/27/15

Has anyone seen the TMZ video of Jahlil Okafor yet? If you haven't, go check it out. He KOs a "heckler" at a bar, and it's worth a watch. While that news isn't fantasy news, it means he's going to be suspended, and some of the other Sixers may become part of the offense now.

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 11/27/15. 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

 

Russell Westbrook (vs DET, $11,100)

Westbrook’s price dropped because KD returned from injury, but he still has tremendous upside. In his last game, he scored over 60 fantasy points, and he’s still a triple double threat in any game, even with Durant back. Westy gets a great matchup against the Pistons tonight, who have struggled to cover the point guard at times this season. This could be the lowest Westbrook’s price is for the rest of the season, so it would be wise to play him while he’s still cheap.

Emmanuel Mudiay (vs SA, $6,000)

Mudiay is coming off a terrible game, in which he only played 24 minutes. Those are the type of risks that come with a rookie, who isn’t guaranteed minutes every game. Mudiay will likely be back to 30+ minutes tonight, and he has 40+ fantasy point upside. The Spurs have really struggled against the point guard this season, and Mudiay has flashed an ability to fill the stat sheet in four categories. He’s an extremely high upside GPP option tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

 

James Harden (vs PHI, $10,100)

Harden is coming into this game extremely hot, as he has scored 62.25, 59.25, 42.5, and 84.5 fantasy points in his last four games. The matchup against the Sixers is as good as it gets for a shooter like Harden, and this game may even stay close because of how bad the Rockets have been this season. Harden has the ability to triple double, but he can also scored 40 points in any given game. Harden isn’t a cheap option, but he has tremendous upside and he has a great chance to hit value.

Hollis Thompson (at HOU, $3,600)

There are a ton of great options at shooting guard tonight, and Thompson is one of them. He’s extremely cheap, and he’ll likely play big minutes with Nik Stauskas out. In his last two games, he has played 33 minutes per game, and he has recorded 21 and 26.25 fantasy points. Thompson also gets a great matchup against the Rockets, who have really struggled on defense this season and they play at a fast pace. Thompson isn’t the safest option on the board, but he does have good upside and he’s extremely cheap. Even with his inconsistencies, Thompson can be used in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards

 

Paul George (vs CHI, $10,200)

There is really no reason to avoid PG13 at this point in the season. He is playing as well as anyone, and he gets a great matchup against the Bulls, who have been one of the worst defenses in the NBA against small forwards. PG13 is constantly changing positions, which means he’ll have great matchups at different points in the game, but he is essentially a matchup proof player. In his last start, he scored 40 points with 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. He is averaging over 50 fantasy points over the last 10 days, and George can be used in all leagues tonight.

Robert Covington (at HOU, $5,100)

Covington’s price is going up slowly, and he should be in everyone’s lineups tonight. He has played three games without a minute’s restriction this season, and he is averaging 36.7 fantasy points per game. He’s guaranteed big minutes because of the injury to Nik Stauskas, and there is absolutely no reason to avoid Covington tonight. He gets a good matchup against a fast paced team, and it would be a huge mistake to avoid him tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

 

Paul Millsap (at MEM, $8,000)

I find it hard to avoid Millsap right now, as he’s continuously hitting value and he has the chance to also exceed value, as well. Aside from a couple bad games, Millsap has been great this season, and he will continue to play big minutes if Splitter is out again tonight. The Grizzlies have really struggled to guard big men this season, and they are a bit banged up in their frontcourt right now. Millsap is best suited for cash games because he’s one of the safest plays on the board, but he can also be used in tournaments because of his great upside.

Nerlens Noel (at HOU, $5,800)

In case you haven’t seen, Jahlil Okafor was recently caught on video knocking someone out. That means he’s likely to face a suspension from the NBA, and if that happens tonight, Noel will immediately see a boost in value. Noel has been playing big minutes over his last few games, but he has not been producing stats. That’s because Okafor has been the better of the two big men, and Noel thrives at the center position. If Okafor is out tonight, Noel will shift to center, and he’ll once again have great upside.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

Nikola Vucevic (vs MIL, $6,600)

Vucevic was on a minute’s restriction just a few games ago, but that was lifted in his last game. In that game, he scored 22 points with 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal in 32 minutes. Vucevic has been incredible when given the minutes this season, and his price still reflects his production in limited playing time. The matchup against the Bucks is less than ideal, but Vucevic should easily be able to hit value if he plays 30+ minutes tonight.
