It is another small slate tonight. With only five games set to take place, it'll be difficult to find value. Luckily, teams like the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Toronto Raptors are playing. That should create for some interesting basketball.

These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/15/16. I try to only advise players I believe will outperform expectations and the players I advise are players in my lineup so if it all goes downhill, I'll be tumbling down right next to you. Let's get rolling…

FanDuel DFS Guards

Kyrie Irving - PG, vs TOR ($7,400)

Kyrie Irving is having a great season, posting over 30 fantasy points in all of his last three games, two of which were over 35 fantasy points and one of which was over 40. He gets a good, tough matchup against the Toronto Raptors tonight, and surprisingly, these are the games that bring out the best in the Cleveland Cavaliers. This game should stay close, and along with LeBron James, Irving will be doing everything in his power to bring home the victory. Use him in all formats.

Goran Dragic - PG, vs ATL ($6,500) 

In his last two games, Goran Dragic struggled heavily. He only played 22 and 25 minutes, which is not normal. He generally plays around 35-40 minutes, and he should do exactly that tonight against the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are a solid team, but not great defensively. Dragic has 50 plus fantasy point upside. In fact, he recently posted over 50 fantasy points against the Sacramento Kings. For his price tag, he is a steal in tournaments.

Also Consider:  Lou Williams, SG, vs BKN ($5,200)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

LeBron James - SF, vs TOR ($9,900)

LeBron James is one of the best fantasy players in the league for both 50/50 contests and tournaments. He gets a tough matchup tonight against the Toronto Raptors, but as previously mentioned, those are the kind of games that the Cleveland Cavaliers excel in. James, if the game is close in the fourth quarter, will take over the game. That is when he is at his best. With over 40 fantasy points in seven straight games, he can obviously be used in all formats.

Paul Millsap - PF, at MIA ($7,400) 

Paul Millsap has been up and down so far this season. In his latest outing, which was against the Philadelphia 76ers, he shocked the basketball world with only 13.3 fantsay points in 27 minutes. That is horrible. The game prior, he posted 38.2 fantasy points in 34 minutes. He has 50 plus fantasy point upside, as he is an elite level scorer and great rebounder, but he does come with a bit of risk. Use him in tournaments for the most part.

Also Consider: Taj Gibson - PF, at POR ($5,500)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Mason Plumlee - C, vs CHI ($5,100)

Mason Plumlee is starting to turn into a rather solid option in all leagues. He is still leaning toward a tournament play, but with over 25 fantasy points in three of his last four games, it would not be ludicrous to fire him up in a cash game or two. Against the Denver Nuggets, he posted 27.3 fantasy points in only 24 minutes. His upside is as high as any center on the board. Seriously, he could triple-double. Do not miss out on the Plumlee train tonight.

Also Consider:  Robin Lopez - C, at POR ($4,400)
