NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel Basketball Advice for 11/19/16

Daily fantasy basketball lineups picks for FanDuel on 11/19/16 by Jake Finnen. The top NBA DFS rosters advice on FanDuel value picks and DFS sleepers.

With nine games on the slate for Saturday, you have plenty of options to choose from. Im here to make sure you pick the right ones. You should always monitor the superstars for easily exploitable match-ups to get the most out of your top dollar players. Ill try to suggest players offering more value to help you free up space to fit those high valued players in your lineup.

These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/19/16. I try to only advise players I believe will outperform expectations and the players I advise are players in my lineup so if it all goes downhill, I'll be tumbling down right next to you. Let's get rolling…

Editor's Note: New users that sign up on FantasyAces, make a $20 deposit, and enter any game will receive our full season NBA (or NFL) Premium Pass for free (includes DFS Cheat Sheets). Just email [email protected] with your new FantasyAces username - and boom, that's it! We will email you with your Premium Pass.

 

FanDuel DFS Guards

Elfrid Payton - PG, vs. DAL ($5,800)

Hear me out. I have been hearing a lot about Payton being one of the more inconsistent options this year but against the Mavericks, this could be a huge game for him. He is going up against Seth Curry and the Mavericks, who are on their second night of a back to back. The Magic offense has struggled recently and even Serge has been a major factor. The offense revolves around Payton and his ability to generate the offense. This game could be the game to get the Magic back on track and its going to start with Payton. Even on the defensive side, Payton should be able to conserve energy and hopefully that will lead to an improved shot. Either way, I'm taking Payton tonight.

 Brandon Knight - SG, @ PHI ($4,800)

Brandon Knight has been struggling recently but started to heat up at the end of the Pacers game Friday night. With Eric Bledsoe only playing 13 minutes due to a minor injury, Knight was able to capitalize on his opportunities and I expect him to do the same against the 76ers. Philadelphia will not be able to guard Knight along with the other scoring guards and seeing how quickly he heated up last game, there is a good chance Knight is in for more minutes against a weaker team. Bledsoe has struggled on defense and Phoenix Coach Earl Watson may be giving Knight a chance to prove his worth.

Also Consider:  Steph Curry - PG, @ MIL ($9,100)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

 Otto Porter - SF, vs. MIA ($6,300)

If Justise Winslow is out, this makes Porter an even better option. As a versatile forward on the Wizards, he is needed to contribute as much as he can and his ahleticism is clearly appreciated by the rest of the team seeing how they seem comfortable giving him the ball miss after miss. One thing Porter struggles with is consistency in his jumpshot but I don't see him having much trouble getting to the rim. Yes, he will have to deal with Hassan Whiteside but it won't be enough when Rodney McGruder is getting toasted by Porter.

 Jabari Parker - PF, vs POR ($6,500) 

I really do not like going against the Warriors because they usually blow everyone out and that makes all the usual starters useless when it comes to DFS. That being said, the Warriors on the second night of a back to back, facing an athletic team means that a blowout is much less likely. Enter Jabari Parker. The driving force alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo that will be hard to stop for Golden State. The Warriors sacrificed defense for Kevin Durant and games like this is when they are going to miss their depth. Jabari Parker is going to be all over this game and a real pain for the Warriors on both sides of the ball. His moderate pricing makes him an appealing option when options are limited. Not only does he get minutes but he has been contributing in one way or another all season.

Also Consider:  Tobias Harris - PF, vs BOS ($6,100)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

 Alan Williams - C, vs PHI ($3,500)

Who? Alan Williams? Who is Alan Williams? Well, Alan Williams casually scored 15 points and grabbed 15 boards over Myles Turner in a win Friday night. This was the first time he has seen any real time and he made sure to make the most of it. He clearly looked like he belonged out there and hopefully Earl Watson recognizes his talent. If Joel Embiid does actually decide to rest, Williams would make a very cheap option with more upside than anyone tonight. That being said, Embiid playing will bring his upside down but regardless, look at that price. How many times can you confidently play a guy that costs less than $4,000? Just remember to check in before the game to see any news about Williams.

Also Consider: Nikola Vucevic - C, @ ORL ($6,500)
