FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/28/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Dennis Clausen highlights the top FanDuel NBA DFS lineup picks for 11/28/21, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

Spearheaded by a 30-point effort from Devin Booker, Phoenix picked up its 16th consecutive victory on Saturday by handling the Nets. Without a doubt, the Suns have certainly been scorching as of late. However, with the Warriors coming to town on Tuesday, the current streak is in grave danger of being extinguished. Nonetheless, the matchup in Brooklyn wasn't the only thing happening on Saturday night, as Joel Embiid made it back after missing his previous nine games because of COVID-19. Yet, the Minnesota Timberwolves spoiled his return by taking down the 76ers in a thrilling double-overtime affair, doing so despite the big man's 42-point, 14-rebound performance.

Heading into the last day of the holiday weekend, the National Basketball Association features five games on Sunday, highlighted by the Warriors at the Clippers. Just like Phoenix, Golden State has also been on a roll, thanks to the tremendous play of Stephen Curry this season. And lastly, the Grizzlies will be in action, though Memphis won't have Ja Morant, who sprained his knee against the Hawks on Friday night.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel's "Main Slate" on 11/28/21. 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 NBA DFS lineup picks.

FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Malcolm Brogdon, PG/SG - vs. MIL ($7,200)

Brogdon will square off against his former team on Sunday. He's averaged 13.6 points, 7.0 assists, and 3.4 rebounds versus the Bucks throughout his career but has room to shine, without a doubt. The veteran has been on a roll, accruing at least 35.8 fantasy points in each of his previous three games.

Tyus Jones, RB - vs. SAC ($3,800)

As mentioned, Ja Morant injured his left knee against the Hawks the day after Thanksgiving and is out indefinitely, or in other words, a while. With the superstar guard out of the picture, Jones will likely take his place moving ahead. The 25-year-old has been a favorite DFS value option at times over the years, and it's for a good reason, as he has averaged 10 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.8 steals as a starter throughout his career. Still, while Jones isn't guaranteed to start, he should remain in the running for an expanded role on Sunday and beyond.

Also Consider: Russell Westbrook ($9,600), De'Aaron Fox ($7,600), Jrue Holiday ($7,100), Desmond Bane ($5,400), De'Anthony Melton ($4,500)

FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Isaiah Stewart, PF - @ LAL ($5,000)

Stewart and LeBron James will be on the floor for the first time since their scuffle, so unquestionably, there will be plenty of attention on this one. Regardless, Stewart has a ton of upside, and even if there hadn't been a tiff between the two, he still would have received a mention. He had 22.4 fantasy points against the Clippers on Friday, his first game since returning from suspension, and continues to receive a bump on the statistical end while Kelly Olynyk remains out because of a knee issue.

Marvin Bagley III, PF/C - @ MEM ($4,000)

With Alvin Gentry taking over for Luke Walton, who was recently relieved of his duties as the head coach of the Kings, Bagley has been slowly working his way back into the mix. He did have 26.4 fantasy points the other night against the Lakers, although his numbers were inflated because of overtime. However, before then, he had nearly 18 fantasy points across 18 minutes against Portland. Bagley could continue to benefit and has GPP upside while Harrison Barnes and Richaun Holmes remain out.

Also Consider: Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11,500), LeBron James ($10,000), Domantas Sabonis ($8,300), Bobby Portis ($6,500), Saddiq Bey ($5,400), Kyle Anderson

 

FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Chimezie Metu, C - @ MEM ($4,100)

Metu had already been getting work before Richaun Holmes' recent ailments. Sure, Alex Len has looked good as well for the most part while filling in, but Metu also has upside. He missed two games before putting up just over 19 fantasy points against the Lakers on Friday. However, before then, he had at least 19.6 fantasy points five times during a six-game span. The center position is nasty on Sunday, so unless managers are willing to slide over a power forward, Metu may be the best option.
