It is a very short slate. FanDuel and DraftKings decided to split the already short six-game slate into a four-game slate and two-game slate. It is difficult to construct a lineup without salary relief options. That is what this article will focus on.
Below I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/06/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on FanDuel. Good luck RotoBallers!

FanDuel DFS Guards
DeMar DeRozan - SG, SAC ($8,800)
DeMar DeRozan is the safest shooting guard in the league right now. He has over 40 fantasy points in every single game this season so far. Against the Washington Wizards, he posted over 55 fantasy points in 37 minutes. Kyle Lowry looks like he is going to bow down to the Toronto Raptors' elite scoring option. DeRozan is going to shoot over 20 times tonight against the Sacramento Kings, and with the Kings pushing the game forward, he could easily see over 50 or 60 fantasy points. Use him in all formats.
Jose Juan Barea - PG, MIL ($5,200)
Jose Juan Barea started the season off with a bang. He posted over 30 fantasy points in two of his first three games and over 25 fantasy points in all of them. He has over 20 fantasy points in all five of his first games and 29 or more fantasy points in three of them. The Milwaukee Bucks are not great offensively, so Barea should have no issues scoring. His price tag is not as low as it used to be, but he should still hit value at the very least. He is playing around 30 minutes per game, and the Dallas Mavericks lack scorers. Roster Barea in all leagues.
Also Consider: Devin Booker - SG, @LAL ($5,900)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
TJ Warren - SF, @LAL ($6,300)
TJ Warren quickly became one of the best fantasy small forward options in the league. He has over 20 fantasy points in every single game and over 30 fantasy points in four of his first six games. Against the Portland Trailblazers recently, he posted over 40 fantasy points in 38 minutes. He is going to play big minutes tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers, and he is likely to play in blowouts, so that is a non-factor. His price tag is reasonable, and he should hit value. Use him in all leagues.
Harrison Barnes - SF, MIL ($5,100)
Harrison Barnes has quite a bit of upside for his price tag. In his last game, he posted 27 fantasy points in 35 minutes on the court against the Portland Trailblazers. A few games prior, he posted almost 40 fantasy points in 39 minutes against the Houston Rockets. He does have a couple of low-scoring games thrown in there, as well, so only use him in tournaments. He is not consistent enough for 50/50 contests. The Milwaukee Bucks have never been known for defense, so this should be one of his better outings.
Also Consider: Jaylen Brown - SF, DEN ($3,800)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Marc Gasol - C, POR ($7,200)
Marc Gasol has been one of the better center options in the league, when he starts. He has taken a couple of games off already this season, so always be on the lookout for something like that happening. In his last start, he posted over 40 fantasy points in 37 minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers. Tonight, he gets what should be an uptempo game against the Portland Trailblazers. Plumlee is not going to be able to keep Gasol from getting to the basket. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
Also Consider: Jonas Valanciunas - C, SAC ($6,100)
