The top DraftKings daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for 12/3/17 by Justin Bales. Expert NBA DFS advice, sleepers & player recommendations for DraftKings.

There is one early game today with four later games. DraftKings has broken it down into two slates - Early/7 PM and 7/9:30 PM. Essentially, there is an early slate and late slate. This article will focus around the late slate, as it will be easier to follow news throughout the day without the contests locking early.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/3/17. The DFS lineup picks will include two seemingly mispriced guards, two seemingly mispriced forwards, one seemingly mispriced center.

If you have any questions or comments, let me know @BalesSJustin on Twitter. Let's get to it.

DraftKings DFS Guards

Russell Westbrook - PG, vs SA ($10,100)

Westbrook is coming off somewhat of a bad game, but he is still averaging 28.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 9.6 assists, and 3.0 steals over the last 10 days. He has scored at least 60 fantasy points in five of his last six contests, as well. He is priced as if the San Antonio Spurs have an elite defense, but that has not been the case this season. Westbrook should have no problems hitting value on this slate, making him an elite option in all leagues.

Austin Rivers - PG/SG, at MIN ($5,800)

Rivers has taken over part of the Clippers offense with Patrick Beverley, Danilo Gallinari, and Blake Griffin all injured. Over the last 10 days, Rivers is averaging 36.4 minutes per game. He has turned those minutes into 19.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. He gets a matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have struggled at times defensively this season. Rivers makes a solid option in all leagues, as his price tag has yet to catch up to his recent production.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Pau Gasol - PF/C, at OKC ($5,500)

Gasol has seen an increase in minutes recently, as he is averaging 28.4 minutes per game over the last 10 days as opposed to 25.5 minutes per game this season. In his "new" role, Gasol is averaging 14.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.0 steals per game. He is a versatile big man that can score fantasy points in a hurry. He also comes with a surprisingly low price tag after scoring 35+ fantasy points in three of his last five games. He is a great option in all leagues on the smaller slate.

Montrezl Harrell - PF/C, at MIN ($3,800)

Harrell is currently starting for Blake Griffin, who is out due to injury. He played 21 minutes in his fire start, scoring 19.75 fantasy points. He is an energetic big man, who is averaging more than 1.0 fantasy points per minute this season. He has also been a slightly better fantasy option on the road, although it is in limited minutes. He comes with an extremely low price tag, which is useful on a small slate.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Clint Capela - C, at LAL ($7,100)

Capela is an extremely frustrating player to own. He is the type of center that can either win or lose you a tournament, but there is generally no in-between. Over the last 10 days, he is averaging 15.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks in only 25.4 minutes per game. He has played at least 28 minutes in each of his last three games, though, scoring 44.25, 35.0, and 41.75 fantasy points. The Lakers have struggled against the center this season, and Capela is an elite tournament option tonight.
