Jake Finnen highlights the top FanDuel NBA DFS lineup picks for 11/14/19, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.
Tonight is a smaller slate which tends to throw off some of the bad players, so don't be insulted, just "get good." Since we will have to be precise with our picks, you need to take advantage of every matchup that's out there. Last night, James Harden took the Clippers to a shooting clinic and with Los Angeles heading to New Orleans, a bounce back game from players like Montrezl Harrell and Patrick Beverley.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/14/19. 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.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Seth Curry - PG, DAL @ NYK ($3,500)
Since the Mavericks are heading to MSG tonight, that means Luka Doncic is about to have a smooth 30 point, 15 assist game. That might not be totally accurate, but Doncic is likely to break one of his game-high records against the Knicks, it only makes sense for how his career has gone thus far. This might not be about Seth Curry, but maybe you can see where I am going with this. Jalen Brunson's price is closer to that of a high-volume backup, so taking Brunson over Curry does not free up the cap space you might need, whereas Curry is guaranteed to play, should see plenty of shots and his price is as low as it can get.
Pat Connaughton - SG, MIL vs. CHI ($3,500)
Chances are, you have probably been burned by Pat Connaughton once already this season. Since Khris Middleton is out, his upside is as high as it's going to get without the Bucks seeing another injury. Looking at the teams he has been able to produce against this season, they have two things in common. They are young and they shoot. The Bulls fall under both those categories and since this game should revolve around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Eric Bledsoe, the Bucks will need someone for support off the bench. Tonight would be a great night to roster Connaughton and someone like George Hill.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Tim Hardaway Jr. - SF, DAL @ NYK ($3,900)
My theory is that Tim Hardaway Jr. tried to play for as many teams as he could, so when it came down to him getting minutes, he could always go up to the coach and say, "Coach, I used to play with these guys, I know how to beat them." Hardaway get's a majority of the bench minutes as it is and Rick Carlisle prioritizes offense with how bad the Mavericks have been this season.
Look for both Curry and Hardaway to have the green light tonight and since both have low prices, both can break through their projected without pulling from each other.
Jahlil Okafor - PF, NO vs. LAC ($4,600)
Realistically, Derrick Favors is the right play here, but his price is too high given he will be fighting with Montrezl Harrell all night for production. While Okafor is somewhat in the same situation, his price is much more reasonable although he does have an injury tag looming over his head. If Okafor is going to play there is a good reason to play him against the Clippers bench, but just be wary in case he does miss time.
Frank Kaminsky - PF, PHO vs. ATL ($4,200)
Like most stretch bigs, you have to play them in the right scenario. Since most, including Kaminsky, aren't the strongest rebounders, it helps to play them in games where they have upside in multiple categories. I am not going to bet against Trae Young, but I will bet that rebounds will be in excess. If Kaminsky can hit his shot tonight, there should be no reason he can't near double up on his production with a few boards and maybe a block or two.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Alex Len - C, ATL @ PHO ($3,800)
Similar to Frank Kaminsky but with more upside, Len is guaranteed production tonight. Aron Baynes has been playing well, but not well enough to keep Len from doing anything. With his price that low and the minutes there, just make sure that he is playing tonight and he should be a great option for a cheap center.
