DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (11/26/16): NBA DFS Advice

By Chensiyuan. CCSA 4.0. Via WikiCommons (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/1_mike_muscala_2015.jpg)

After a huge slate last night, we have to settle for a small slate tonight. That doesn't mean there aren't both elite and value options, though. Even the smallest slates can be fun nights when we're playing fantasy!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/26/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @BalesSJustin

Editor's Note: New users that sign up on FantasyAces, make a $20 deposit, and enter any game will receive BOTH our full season NBA and NFL Premium Passes for free, a $119.99 value. Just email [email protected] with your new FantasyAces username - and boom, that's it! We will email you with your Premium Passes.

 

DraftKings DFS Guards

John Wall – PG, vs SA ($8,100)

Wall has been on fire recently, but his price tag doesn’t match that production. He has a decent floor, and he is a player with elite upside, as well. He has the ability to score in each of the five categories with the potential for a double double. He gets a great matchup against the Spurs, who have struggled against the point guard this season. Wall is a great option on a small slate, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Zach LaVine – SG, @GS ($6,000)

LaVine is a high risk, high reward option. He has a terrible floor, but he also comes with great upside for his price tag. He has been a slightly better option on the road this season, and he’s a player that has the potential to take more than 20 shots in a game. He gets a good matchup against the Warriors, who currently rank 28th in the NBA against the shooting guard this season. LaVine isn’t more than a high upside tournament option tonight.

Ish Smith – PG, @OKC ($4,900)

Smith hasn’t been scoring much this season, as he’s only averaging 9.6 points per game, but he has looked great in terms of fantasy. He does come with a bit of risk, but he also comes with quite a bit of upside. He has been playing big minutes for the Pistons in close games, and he gets a good matchup against the Thunder tonight. Smith played well against Oklahoma City in their first matchup, and he comes with a fairly low price tag. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Kawhi Leonard – SF, @WAS ($8,300)

Leonard had a rough patch of games for a few days, but he has been on fire over his last few games. He’s consistently scoring 20 or more points, while adding rebounds, assists, and steals to his lines. He gets a matchup against the Wizards tonight, and they have given up a few huge fantasy games against stars this season. Leonard is still priced a bit too low, and he’s a great option in all leagues tonight.

Kristaps Porzingis – PF, @CHA ($7,700)

Porzingis is a budding star for the Knicks, and that should be on display tonight. He has been on fire recently, and he gets a great matchup against the Hornets, who have struggled against the power forward this season. He comes with a reasonable price tag tonight, and he is one of the better options on only a five game slate.

Andre Roberson – SG/SF, vs DET ($4,200)

Roberson has been a casually good player for the Thunder. He’s more of a defensive minded player, which allows him to contribute in multiple categories. He isn’t a terrible offensive player, either, and he tends to shoot for a high percentage. He gets a matchup against the Pistons, and Roberson continues to be a salary relief option on a nightly basis. He has been playing well enough to be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Marc Gasol – C, @MIA ($6,900) 

Gasol has found quite a bit of success this season, as he has been a big part of the offense, and he has been able to contribute in multiple categories. He isn’t a safe option, but he comes with plenty of upside, and his price tag doesn’t represent that upside. He gets a great matchup against the Heat again tonight, and Miami has struggled against the center this season. Gasol is best suited for tournaments, though.

Marcin Gortat – C, vs SA ($5,500)

Gortat’s price tag is a bit surprising. He has been a consistent option, but his price has dropped a bit. He has double double potential on any given night, but he can contribute in other categories, as well. He gets a good matchup against the Spurs, who have been one of the worst teams in the NBA against the center, and Gortat can safely be used in all leagues tonight.
