DFS NBA FanDuel Lineup Advice 11/14/16

It’s been a rough couple of days for my NBA FanDuel lineups but I’m going to “trust the process” as they say and keep plugging away. I’m short on time tonight, and I actually had a nice sweat going for my NBA lineup tonight as I write this, so today’s article will be quick hitters. Short and to the point. I’m half writing and half-watching this Blazers’ game hoping Dame and McCollum can help me win this GPP! I need to end my cold streak. Let’s get to why you are here, shall we…

NBA DFS Legend

Nothing But NetMy top plays of the night at his position.
DunkA Dunk is a second or third tier player with the highest upside.
Half-Court ShotOtherwise known as a “punt play.” A Low-priced, high-upside player.
Blocked Shot A player I’ll be avoiding. Otherwise known as “Fading.”

**Main Slate

Point Guard

Nothing But Net | Chris Paul vs BKN $9,200

DFS NBA FanDuel Lineup Advice 11/14/16
CP3 is a good contrarian FanDuel play at the point tonight.

I’m a little worried about the blowout factor here, and I’ll most likely being paying down at PG tonight to fit some of the other studs, but I think at his price, I like CP3 over Mr. Westbrook tonight. Nets giving up 44-plus points to point guards on the season.

Dunk | Jeff Teague vs ORL $6,200

The Magic are on the second half of a back to back after a hard-fought game with the Thunder last night. Tired legs will be an issue and Teague has started to look like the Teague from two years ago when he was an All-Star.

Half-Court Shot | Terry Rozier @ NO $3,700

Ever since Marcus Smart was moved into the starting lineup as a small forward to fill in for the injured Jae Crowder, Rozier has started to see some decent minutes in relief of Isaiah Thomas. This game could turn into a blowout meaning junk time minutes for Rozier as an added bonus, and there is outside shot Thomas misses this game, in which case Rozier would likely get the start.

Blocked Shot | Mike Conley @ UTA $7,000

He just hasn’t played up to his price yet. Not to mention, this game will be played at a snail’s pace and will likely have the lowest over/under on the slate.

Shooting Guard

Nothing But Net | James Harden vs PHI $11,700

I don’t think the Rockets are good enough to blow out the Sixers, and the Sixers aren’t good enough to stop Harden — that equals a must start in my book.

Dunk | Avery Bradley @ NO $7,000

He just continues his steady play and if Isaiah Thomas is limited in any way with his hand injury, the Celtics will lean on Bradley to score.

Half-Court Shot | Seth Curry @ NY $4,200

PG Deron Williams has already been ruled our for this game, so Curry will receive extra minutes off the bench as one of Dallas’ key reserves. He has scored 30-plus FanDuel points over his last two games, and the Knicks are dead last in points allowed to shooting guards. He may get some run at the point as well which would boost his value a little more.

Blocked Shot | None

Small Forward

Nothing But Net | Kawhi Leonard vs MIA $8,500

DFS NBA FanDuel Lineup Advice 11/14/16
Leonard can go off on any given night. After two sub-par nights, it might be tonight.

Leonard gets the default top play here. I don’t love Leonard in this game, but he can go off at any time, so he gets the nod.

Dunk | Harrison Barnes @ NY $6,000

Barnes is probably my top mid-tier player on the slate tonight. He has been nothing short of spectacular over his last three games and his FanDuel price hasn’t caught up yet. The Knicks are dead last defending the small forward position.

Half-Court Shot | C.J. Miles vs ORL $4,400

He has been one of my favorite values for a while now — still love him tonight in a plus matchup.

Blocked Shot | Gordon Hayward vs MEM $7,700

The pace of the game scares me off pretty much everyone in this game. Sure, Gordon could put up a huge game, but I just like some other guys more. He is a good GPP play, though.

Power Forward

Nothing But Net | Anthony Davis vs BOS $11,500

Probably the top play of the night. The Celtics frontcourt is one of the worst rebounding frontlines in the NBA and they can’t defend either. Hopefully, Davis can stay healthy and dominate this game.

Dunk | Kristaps Porzingis vs DAL $6,800

I’m assuming Dirk Nowitzki returns for this game. He does not play a lick of defense and Porzingis, Dirk 2.0 as I call him, will have a field day.

Half-Court Shot | Dario Saric @ HOU $4,100

This will be a high paced, high scoring  game with little to no defense being played — the rookie has played well lately and will take advantage of the Rockets inability to defend.

Blocked Shot | Serge Ibaka @ IND $5,200

Don’t chase the points. Don’t do it…

Center

Nothing But Net | DeAndre Jordan @ BKN $6,900

DFS NBA FanDuel Lineup Advice 11/14/16Jordan has double-double’d in his last two games and the Nets give up a ton of points to centers.

Dunk | Joel Embiid @ HOU $5,400

If you don’t know by now, ask somebody…

Half-Court Shot | Kelly Olynyk @ NO $4,000

see Joel Emiid

Blocked Shot | Andre Drummond vs OKC $8,100

Drummond historically hasn’t played well against the Thunder averaging only 30 FanDuel points in two games last year.
