Welcome to NBA Friday night! We have a fun seven-game slate on our hands and there are a ton of different ways to go in tournaments. There are a few games with high totals and we'll want to focus on the offense in those games. Especially the 238 total in the Timberwolves - Wizards game. Let's dive right in!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/15/19. 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
Malcolm Brogdon - G, IND @ HOU ($8,200)
Brogdon has slowed down a little bit of late, but he’s been excellent to start this season and the production isn’t going anywhere. He’s been over 40 fantasy point sin most games and has only disappointed in blowouts. The Rockets are going to keep it fast with the Pacers and I except the over/under to come in around 225 for this game. This offense is run through Malcolm Brogdon and the match-up really couldn’t be better. Whether Westbrook plays or not, Brogdon is my favorite point guard and I’ll have him everywhere.
James Harden - G, HOU vs. IND ($12,500)
Russell Westbrook is going to sit either tonight or tomorrow night. If it’s tonight, James Harden is the Top Play on the slate. Facing off with a Pacers team that’s willing to match the Rockets speed, Harden will be firing all night and his floor would be somewhere around 60. His upside is through the ceiling, and somewhere likely in the 90’s. The Pacers don’t have anyone to stop Harden in the first place and they’re missing Jeremy Lamb. I’m sure T.J. Warren will take a shot as their defensive stopper, but Harden has dropped 30+ on Warren three times in his career. If Westbrook does play tonight, I say we wait until tomorrow to unleash James Harden. Andrew Wiggins and Brad Beal are two of my favorite pivots.
Josh Richardson - G, PHI @ OKC ($6,400)
Richardson has been consistent this season and draws a match-up with Oklahoma City here that he should put up 30 fantasy points in. The Sixers give Richardson free will and he takes the offense into his own hands five or six times a game. The production is consistent and the price is just way too low. Richardson is a guy who deserves to be closer to $7k.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Domantas Sabonis - F, IND @ HOU ($9,500)
Sabonis might be my favorite play on the entire slate. With the Pacers facing a fast-paced Rockets team, they’re going to get more possessions than in a normal game. There will also be more rebounds, steals, and blocks to go around. Sabonis is consistently over 40 fantasy points and I see him getting over 50 tonight. The Rockets don’t have anyone to cover Sabonis and he creates a huge mismatch problem for this team on the inside. 20 points and 20 rebounds would be far from crazy for Sabonis in what is an ideal match-up.
Jaylen Brown - F, BOS @ GS ($7,700)
With Gordon Hayward out, Jaylen Brown has stepped up in a huge way. He’s been over 35 fantasy points in three straight games and now faces off with the Warriors, who play no defense and do it extremely fast. Brown thrives in the open floor and I’d be surprised if he remains under 40. The Celtics hey Brown the ball whenever he wants it and he has the green light to fire. The Warriors defense has given up the second most open-threes in all of the country. The price is rising on Brown, but the value is still there under $8k.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Thomas Bryant - C, WAS @ MIN ($6,800)
This game has a 238 over/under, so we want to get some guys involved. Karl-Anthony Towns is always interesting and you can play him tonight, but he’s pricey. We’ll instead look towards Thomas Bryant, who’s going to battle with Towns all night. Bryant can hold his own, and we’ve seen him put up 40 fantasy points plenty. This is my favorite spot for Bryant all season long and I fully expect him to play 32+ minutes of highly productive ball. If you have the funds, Towns is my favorite center.
