The NBA was given off for Thanksgiving, but we're back with a massive 11 game slate tonight. There are a plethora of great options on this slate, and hopefully we can find some gems. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, but it's time to get down to business.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/23/18. 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.
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 @BalesSJustin and let me know how I did. Good luck!

FanDuel DFS Guards
Eric Bledsoe - PG, vs PHX ($7,300)
Bledsoe has caught fire recently, as he's averaging 18.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.2 steals in 29.5 minutes per game over his last five games. Bledsoe has scored 30+ fantasy points in each of his last seven games, including three games with 40+ fantasy points. He gets a great matchup against the Phoenix Suns, who have been slowing the pace down this season, but also have featured one of the worst defenses in the NBA.
Jrue Holiday - SG, at NY ($8,500)
At this point, it's nearly impossible to avoid Holiday while Elfrid Payton is out. He has been playing at an absurdly high level for quite some time, and he's averaging 22.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.0 block, and 1.5 steals in 36.1 minutes per game. He has also scored 40+ fantasy points in 12 of his last 13 games, including three games with 50+ fantasy points. The New York Knicks simply do not feature anyone defensively that will be able to slow Holiday down, and he's one of the safest options on the slate.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
T.J. Warren - SF, at MIL ($7,000)
Warren has seen increased minutes over his last seven games, and he has been producing extremely well over that span. He has scored 29+ fantasy points in each of those games, including three games with 40+ fantasy points. He still comes with a surprisingly low price tag, and he will be locked into 30+ minutes tonight. He gets a tough matchup against a solid Milwaukee defense, but he will see a massive uptick in pace tonight. He's a relatively safe option, who also comes with quite a bit of upside.
John Collins - PF, vs BOS ($5,100)
Collins has only played in three games this season, but he has posted a solid 23.6% usage rating in those games. He's coming off of a disappointing game, but played 26 minutes against the Toronto Raptors. In his first two games, he averaged 1.41 fantasy points per minute, although that has now dropped to 1.07 fantasy points per minute after his last game. Still, he's expected to play similar minutes in this game, and he comes with tremendous upside, even in a tough matchup.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Tristan Thompson - C, at PHI ($5,600)
Thompson has been one of the more surprising players in the NBA this season. He has earned consistent minutes recently, playing 28+ minutes in six of his last seven games. He has also scored 27+ fantasy points in six of those games. Over the last 10 days, Thompson is averaging 11.0 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 26.6 minutes per game. He gets a decent matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, and Thompson is simply one of the more mispriced players on the slate.
