NBA DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - FantasyScore Advice for 11/29

Editor’s Note: RotoBaller is proud to be partnering with FantasyScore, our new and exclusive DFS partner. As a subsidiary of the USA TODAY Sports Media Group, FantasyScore has come to the daily league fantasy sports table with possibly the most exciting promotional offer in the DFS industry (along with a top notch product that is powered by one of the biggest media sites in the world).

For RotoBaller readers, FantasyScore is offering an instant 50% deposit bonus up to $250. No other DFS site offers an instant match bonus like this!

Other sites claim to provide users with matching dollars on their initial deposits. What they forget to mention is this is not an instant match, and you have to earn those "matched dollars" slowly over time, penny by penny.  This can be misleading, and discouraging to new depositors.

FantasyScore does not do this. They really, truly match your deposit, instantly. When you make your first deposit, you immediately get half of that amount, and you can immediately use it to play. No waiting, no earning it slowly, no gimmicks - just a really good offer, that no other DFS site can match.

 

Saturday Night NBA DFS Picks

I hopefully everyone has recovered from Thanksgiving and Black Friday-- the real Black Friday and not J.R. Smith's interpretation of Black Friday.

There's only a handful of games to select from on FantasyScore and owners need to be aware of the possibility of blowouts.  After all, Dallas is playing Philadelphia again.

 

Guards to Consider

John Wall (WAS, G) - $8200

The Wizards-Pelicans game will be a close, hard-fought barnburner with a lot of defense.  The high probability for a lack of offense in this matchup is the bad news.  The good news is that Wall is averaging 41.6 FSPPG, nearly a double-double (18.6 points, 9.2 assists) per outing with a healthy amount of steals (2.3 per game) and he's coming off his worst game of the season.  Washington will need to, yet again, rely on his production tonight.

 

Tyreke Evans (NOP, G) - $6000

Sticking in the nation's capital, Evans provides his owners with perhaps the best combination of value and production for tonight.  The Wizards have been solid defensively so far this season, but they have had trouble controlling the pace of two guards.  Bradley Beal doesn't look 100% yet, and he figures to log the most minutes from the SG position on the court against Evans.  The Pelicans will need Evans to be the "exploitable factor" if they are going to come away with the win.

 

Kemba Walker (CHA, G) - $5700

The Hawks have been rather inconsistent defending guards this season.  It seems they are stifling starting PGs to 20 FSP and allowing a monster 46 FSP game from the backup SG. Walker is the type of guy that can play either position effectively, so it's only natural to say that he poses matchup problems for Atlanta.  Factor in the injuries to the Hornets, and Walker should drop a 30+ FSP game.

 

Forwards to Consider

LeBron James (CLE, F) - $9100

There's really no maximum-value matchup coming from the forward position for tonight's games, so selecting LBJ is kind of the safe pick.  He's clearly the best player on the court and Indiana has been decimated by injuries at every position.  Beware the blowout potential.

 

Paul Millsap (ATL, F) - $7200

Millsap has put up some monster games over his last ten, scoring at least 31.0 FSPPG in nine of those.  With the Hornets banged-up at the big-man positions, Millsap should continue to assert his dominance against second-tier teams.

 

DeMarre Carroll (ATL, F) - $4200

It seems like there's a little bit of a DFS baseball strategy being employed here by stacking the same position on the same team.  It's an unconventional strategy, but there is some method to the madness here.  Carroll isn't the sexy pick, but he is a consistent, putting up at least 21.5 FSPPG in Atlanta's last nine games.  As above, the Hornets are all sorts of beat up at the big man positions, so it's not completely illogical to predict the Hawks will pound the ball inside Saturday night.

Considering that Carroll has stayed in the mid-20s in total FSPPG production, he isn't a great option if you're looking for 30+ points.  You can savely project him in the 23 FSP range, though.

 

Centers to Consider

Anderson Varejao (CLE, C) - $4500

Lavoy Allen (IND, C) - $2400

Feel free to pick either starter in the Indiana/Cleveland game.  Both Varejao and Allen should see production above league averages as the Pacers have given up the most FSPPG to centers and the Cavs have permitted the second-most.  If it comes down to either starter, Allen gets the slight nod, as his offense will be needed more and Varejao may see fewer minutes if the Cavs are ahead in a laugher.
