We have a massive 11-game slate tonight, with fantastic options at each position, so you will be looking to jam some of these studs in your lineups. We are a few games into the season and starting to see some good numbers when it comes to usage rate and fantasy points per minute.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 10/24/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also check out today's DraftKings lineup picks and our Premium DFS Cheat Sheet. And don't forget to check out our brand new NBA DFS Matchup Ratings tool with daily player projections.
Make sure you don't set your lineups too early and also be sure to check player statuses and availability prior to opening tip. Give me a follow on Twitter @DFS_Tom and let me know how I did. Good luck!
FanDuel DFS Guards
Collin Sexton - PG, CLE vs BKN (FD - $3,900)
Sexton is very cheap tonight and makes a GPP play only and shouldn't be used for cash games, so let me explain. First off, Sexon is a rookie and off to a slow start this season, but that is fine since he won't cost that much. You also have to remember that the lowest score on FanDuel is being dropped this season, so even if he busts, he won't "cost" you anything. Next, his minutes have gone up in each game this season and will now be up against the Nets, who are giving up 43 FanDuel points per games to point guards this season. This game has an over-under set at 229 points, so we are in a spot where Sexton could see more minutes in a very high scoring matchup. He doesn't have to do a whole lot for him to reach four or fives times value tonight.
Devin Booker - SG, PHO vs LAL (FD - $8,000)
Booker is a bit too cheap tonight and should be a solid fit for either cash games or GPPs tonight. He has played 33 minutes or more in each of his three games this season while adding 25 or more real points in each game. This game has a super high over-under set at 236 points, which means the offense will be flowing. Booker has always shown the ability to put up 40 or more real points, so his ceiling in this matchup is huge, as he is up against the Lakers, who are giving up 53 FanDuel points per game to shooting guards.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Lance Stephenson - SF, LAL @ PHO (FD - $3,900)
As I mentioned above, this Lakers at Suns game has a very high over-under, so you should be looking here for plenty of options. Stephenson is very cheap and brings what could be an expanded role in the offense. We know that the Lakers are dealing with some suspensions, which means his role could be on the way up for this short time. He only has a usage rate sitting at 17.6% with 0.76 fantasy points per minute, which isn't great, but remember, if he busts, his score doesn't count.
LaMarcus Aldridge - PF, SA vs IND (FD - $9,100)
Aldridge never really makes a sexy play in DFS, but this dude simply just gets it done. He has a usage rate sitting at 29.1%, which is second highest on the team, along with 1.26 fantasy points per minute. It's' really the DeRoz and Aldridge show in San Antonio these days, with Aldridge posting two double-doubles in his first three games of the season.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Enes Kanter - C, NYK @ MIA (FD - $7,200)
Kanter has four straight double-doubles to start the season and is outproducing his salary in each game. Getting consistent production from a mid-tier center is always a bonus and now finds himself against the Heat, who are giving up 51 FanDuel points per game to centers this season. He has a usage rate only at 23.8%, but is posting 1.26 fantasy points per minute so far this season. When he gets the ball, he is doing something positive with it and production fantasy points.
