Free NBA DFS Draftkings Lineup Help and Advice 11/12/15

On to NBA’s Thursday slate; I will be honest, I am a little scared about playing T-wolves in tomorrow’s three game slate. On Tuesday, the Wolves announced Rubio and Wiggins were not playing much too late. That move by the Wolves cost a lot of people money, many dead lineups were out there because of this miscommunication. I am going to gather all the info about any wolves players early, so this kind of nonsense doesn’t happen again.

Last article’s highlight picks: (11/10/15)

PG13: 44.75 DK points

Hill: 42.75  DK points

Drummond 44.75(more than value)  DK points

Bjelica: 23.75    DK points

Lillard 47.25    DK points

Casspi:26.5     DK points

Point Guards

Steph Curry- $10,600 @MIN

Tomorrow is a three game slate, and there aren’t a lot of point guards I like tomorrow. Chris Paul hasn’t really been producing and his price is still high, Brandon Knight is average, Goran Dragic went 2-10 yesterday from the field, so we might have to bite the bullet and pay up for Curry. The Wolves have looked really good and more importantly, every game they have played in has been close and their starters get a lot of minutes. I think the Wolves show Golden State they aren’t the same team that hasn’t made the playoffs in over a decade. Curry should see some good minutes tomorrow in a close game. I just can’t justify playing any other point guard in Thursday’s slate.

Disclaimer:  (Curry did play last night and they haven’t lost yet, maybe he takes a break against MIN. Watch Carefully).

Zach LaVine- $3,500 vs. GS

I normally don’t liking playing players going up against Golden State because their defense is stellar and the game is usually a blowout, but if Rubio is out tomorrow, how can I say no to LaVine? LaVine is super raw and I don’t know what to think of him yet, but what I do know is he has scored 31.75 and 38.75 DK points in his last two games. Also, he put up 31.75 against the Hawks off the bench in only 16 minutes on the court!! When LaVine gets minutes, he makes the most of them. He did last year as a rookie and he is doing it again this year. If Rubio is out again tonight, LaVine at $3,500 is too good of a deal to pass up.

“The sleeper pick”- Trey Burke

Shooting Guards

Eric Bledsoe- $8,000 vs. LAC (Revenge Game Alert)

I am really surprised Bledsoe has managed to put up 40.3 DK points/game with Brandon Knight getting half the touches in their offense. In my experiences with Bledsoe, he is a risky pick on Draftkings. He is never really an exciting cash game play because he is way too inconsistent, but when he is hot, Bledsoe can help win you a GPP. Last year, in Bledsoe’s first match up against his former team he dropped a triple double and 76 DK points on the Clips that night. Bledsoe likes to remind the Clippers they made a mistake by trading him every time he plays them(He was traded for only Jared Dudley…..). His price is a little steep at $8,000, but I am going take that chance in such a small slate tonight.

Alec Burks- $5,000 @MIA

I’m still kind of puzzled why Burks doesn’t start for the Jazz. Yeah, yeah Rodney Hood is great and all, but Burks scored a team high 24 points off the bench on Tuesday against Cleveland, while going 4-5 from three point land! Doesn’t that count for something? Burks put up awesome numbers last year before he got hurt and I know people in Utah love this guy and want him to get more playing time. He is averaging 15.6 PPG off the bench! Burks seems to dominate other teams bench players, so maybe being the 6th man is the perfect role for Burks. He is only $5,000 which seems pretty good right now. Hopefully, He gets more looks because Gobert is out.

“The sleeper pick”- Tyler Johnson

Small Forwards

T.J. Warren- $3,500 vs. LAC

Wow this small forward situation tonight is UGLY, even Gordon Hayward at $6,300 doesn’t interest me much. There is no right answer at SF tomorrow, but I have to give a recommendation, so T.J. Warren come on down! I like Warren’s game a lot and I wish he got more minutes instead of the revolting P.J. Tucker. Warren was awesome in the preseason and has carried it over to the regular season. Warren is shooting almost 48% from the field and putting up 10.6 PPG off the bench, while many people forget he was technically a lottery pick in 2014, so I think it is time to give him a shot. Last time against the Clippers, Warren put up 21 DK points, so I think he steps it up a little more after FOUR days of rest.

“The sleeper pick”- Harrison Barnes

Power Forwards

Nemanja Bjelica- $4,700 vs. GS

I am pleasantly surprised that Bjelica’s price on Draftkings is still relatively low. Bjelica has had an awesome season off the bench for the Wolves, in fact, he is almost averaging a double double off the bench this year with 8.9 PPG and 7.4 RPG. The Serbian is averaging 32.75 DK points over his last three games and he is somehow only $4,500, I still can’t believe my eyes. Bjelica gets good minutes off the bench and if Golden State blows out the Wolves and the game goes into garbage time, look for Bjelica to be the main benefactor. I know Golden State has the best bench in the league and the best defense in the league, but I still like Bjelica tonight, because his price may not be this low ever again.

Chris Bosh-$7,200 vs. UTA

I know what you’re thinking. There is no way I am going to play any bigs from the Heat against the Jazz’s tough D, but Bosh has looked great since coming back this year and Gobert missed shootaround today and likely won’t play. In his last 4 games, Bosh has put up 44.8, 38.5, 43.8, 37.5 on Draftkings. Those are solid numbers for a guy who is priced at only $7,200. Im still shocked that Bosh somehow manages to get his double doubles with Whiteside in the lineup next to him. Dragic and Wade have looked terrible as of late, so Erik Spoelstra will try and go to Bosh for m0re looks,  even though Bosh hasn’t played many minutes this year he still manages to produce. I don’t see Favors wanting to run out and guard the three very much, so I’m buying Bosh’s stock tomorrow on DK.

“The sleeper pick”- Trevor Booker

Centers

Karl-Anthony Towns- $7,500 vs. GS

Yeah… it looks like the T-Wolves actually got this one right. Towns looks to be the consensus #1 pick so far in this young season. Towns’ stat line so far in his seven game career is ridiculous, 16 PPG, 10.4 RPG, and 3.0 blocks/game. Towns has all the tools to dominate in this league and we forget he is only 19 years old. KAT is going up against some combination of Bogut and Ezeli on Thursday and neither of them can guard the 7-footer, and Bogut only played 14 minutes on Wednesday. There is nothing stopping Towns from getting a double-double in his 4th straight game. One weird thing about Towns is that he has much better numbers on the road than at home, but I don’t think it should be an issue tomorrow, he did drop 19 and 13 at home against Big Al on Tuesday.

“The sleeper pick”- Mo Speights, not many good sleepers at all at C.
