FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/30/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Justin Bales highlights the top FanDuel NBA DFS lineup picks for 11/30/18, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

We're coming off of an ugly Thursday slate, but we're back to a sizeable Friday slate. There are a plethora of great games on this slate, making for an interesting fantasy night. Overall, there are multiple different ways to construct lineups with this player pool, and I'm here to help with that.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/30/18. 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. Find me in the NBA Chat Room or @BalesSJustin on Twitter for any questions.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Ryan Arcidiacono - PG, at DET ($5,500)

Arcidiacono has been locked into big minutes for the Chicago Bulls, but he has struggled to produce when on the court until only a couple games ago. Over his last two games, Arcidiacono is averaging 22.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 3.5 steals (41.4 fantasy points) in 36.5 minutes per game. He's still somewhat cheap for his recent production, and he'll play minutes in the high-30s again tonight.

Jeremy Lamb - SG, vs UTA ($6,200)

Lamb is another player that has caught fire recently. Over the last 10 days, he's averaging 18.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 31.4 minutes per game. He has scored 30+ fantasy points in seven of his last eight games, and he has flashed 40+ fantasy point upside. He gets a tough matchup against the Utah Jazz, but they are no longer the elite defense that was feared last season. Lamb is a safe option, who also comes with tremendous upside for a surprisingly low price tag.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Jabari Parker - SF, at DET ($7,300)

It's impossible to trust Parker after his struggles earlier this season, but he has been playing at an extremely high level over his last five games. Over that span, he's averaging 22.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.2 steals in 37.1 minutes per game. He was able to score 38+ fantasy points in each of those five games, and he'll be locked into big minutes again tonight. He can be considered in all leagues, but he's more of a tournament option because of past inconsistencies.

Josh Jackson - PF, vs ORL ($4,000)

Jackson is an interesting option. He has struggled quite a bit this season, but he has posted over 20 fantasy points in each of his last two games. He'll likely see minutes in the low-20s tonight, and he gets a great matchup against the Orlando Magic. Jackson also comes with a low enough price tag that he can be utilized as your dropped score. He should strictly be used in tournaments at this point, though.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Aron Baynes - C, vs CLE ($3,500)

Al Horford has been ruled out for rest tonight, which means Baynes will likely slide into the starting lineup. His minutes are a bit unknown, but he should be locked into 20+ minutes, and for his current price tag, there's no reason to believe he won't hit value. On the season, he's averaging 5.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in only 14.4 minutes per game. He gets an elite matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have struggled against big men this season. Baynes is an "avoid at your own risk" type of player tonight.
