We're back to a mediocre at best Tuesday slate. There are only five games, and multiple teams are dealing with injuries. Since this article comes out the night before, I will be looking at a few "if" scenarios in my picks.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/27/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on DraftKings.
You can also check out today's FanDuel lineup picks. As always, don't set your lineups to early and check player statuses prior to opening tip. Give me a follow on Twitter @BalesSJustin with questions or comments. Good luck everyone.
DraftKings DFS Guards
Devin Booker - PG/SG, vs IND ($8,600)
Booker has been playing at a high level for quite some time, as he's averaging 28.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 1.2 steals (46.6 fantasy points) in 37.1 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has also scored 49+ fantasy points in three of his last four games. Booker gets a great matchup against the Indiana Pacers, who will be without Victor Oladipo tonight. Booker is a consistent option, who can be considered in all leagues on this smaller slate.
Dwyane Wade - PG/SG, vs ATL ($5,300)
Wade is in an interest position tonight. Goran Dragic and Tyler Johnson are both expected to be out, and Wade could be locked into big minutes once again. In his last game, he scored 35 points with five rebounds, six assists, and one block (52.75 fantasy points) in 34 minutes. He doesn't necessarily need 30+ minutes to hit value, though, as he's averaging 1.03 fantasy points per minute this season. Wade also gets a matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, who will be pushing the pace, and have struggled defensively this season. He's an elite option if Dragic and Johnson are indeed out tonight.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Noah Vonleh - PF/C, at DET ($5,600)
Vonleh is coming off of a bad game against the Memphis Grizzlies, but he still played 31 minutes in that game. He had scored 40+ fantasy points in each of his three games prior to that, and he was able to double double in each of those games. Vonleh gets a great matchup against the Detroit Pistons, who have struggled against big men this season. Vonleh certainly comes with some risk, but he's an elite tournament option tonight.
Mikal Bridges - SF, vs IND ($3,600)
Bridges doesn't always produce, but he's a cheap option, who will see minutes. Through 18 games, he's averaging 7.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.4 steals (15.6 fantasy points) in 22.3 minutes per game. Over the last 10 days, he's averaging 28.2 minutes per game, and he should continue to play bigger minutes. Bridges is a player that comes with tremendous upside, and his confident should grow as he gets more time on the court. He's a great salary relief option on a five game slate.
DraftKings DFS Center
Marc Gasol - C, vs TOR ($8,900)
Gasol has quietly been enjoying an elite season. He has scored 50+ fantasy points in four of his last five games, and he has scored 40+ fantasy points in nine of his last 10. Over the last 10 days, he's averaging 22.7 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals (51.5 fantasy points) in 36.4 minutes per game. He gets somewhat of a tough matchup against the Toronto Raptors, but Gasol is a matchup proof player that can be considered in all leagues.
