Free NBA DFS FanDuel Advice for 11/7/15
Alright, GF2 fans, I’m finally going to delve into some DFS basketball for you guys! I’ve had some decent success so far this season on FanDuel, so hopefully I can help bring you all to glory for this Saturday slate. The November 7, 2015, slate consists of nine intriguing games that I’ve been breaking down all day long. I’m going to give you all both my top player and value pick at each position!
So, here goes nothing, here’s my DFS NBA FanDuel advice for 11/7/15:
Point Guard
Top Play: Stephen Curry, vs. Kings ($10,900)
Curry is the current MVP of the league, so I’m going to go out on the limb and say he’s the best player in the world right now. He’s had an epic start to the 2015 season, where he’s averaged 53.7 FanDuel points per contest. He’s facing off against an easy matchup in the Kings, who allow an average of 41.5 FanDuel points to opposing point guards. Curry is by far the most expensive option, but he will be the best on Saturday night!
Value Pick: Ty Lawson, vs. Clippers ($6,800)
Lawson is the go-to option at point guard in Houston this season! He’s been seeing a ton of minutes and his fantasy production has slowly been increasing. Lawson draws a matchup against a Clippers team who hasn’t defended well against point guards in 2015. This season, Los Angeles allows an averaged of 44.4 FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards, so Lawson should have a productive evening.
Other Options:
John Wall, vs. Hawks ($9,500)
Elfrid Payton, vs. 76ers ($6,700)
Shooting Guards
Top Play: Jimmy Butler, vs. T-Wolves ($8,100)
Butler has become the most consistent shooting guard to plug into your DFS lineups! This season, he is averaging 37.47 FanDuel points per contest, making him a top option every game he plays in. Butler will be facing off against a Timberwolves team who allows an average of 36.1 FanDuel points per contest, so he should be able to meet his nightly fantasy quota.
Value Pick: Jamal Crawford, vs. Rockets ($4,800)

Crawford is a great sixth man for the Clippers, but how valuable is he for your DFS lineup? Well, in 2015, he hasn’t been great thus far, averaging just 16.7 FanDuel points per contest. But, for this Saturday slate he draws a juicy matchup in the Rockets! Houston allows an average of 42.9 FanDuel points per game to opposing shooting guards this season, so Crawford may just be a sneaky option at his position.
Other Options:
James Harden, vs. Clippers ($9,800)
Victor Oladipo, vs. 76ers ($8,000)
Klay Thompson, vs. Kings ($6,800)
Small Forwards
Top Play: Gordon Hayward, vs. Grizzlies ($6,600)
It’s always been hard for me to stream Hayward for DFS, he just always seems to burn me when I do. But, for this game I’m going to put my faith in him once again because he draws a great matchup. In 2015, Memphis is the 5th worst team versus opposing small forwards, allowing an average of 39.3 FanDuel points per game. Hayward is averaging a solid 22.14 FanDuel points per contest in 2015, so I think he will be a nice play on Saturday!
Value Pick: Khris Middleton, vs. Nets ($5,700)
Coming into the 2015 season, I was riding high on the Middleton bandwagon! He disappointed me a bit at the beginning of the year, but he’s finally starting to look like the guy that’s going to be a great option in Milwaukee. Middleton draws a juicy matchup for this Saturday slate against the Brooklyn Nets. This season, the Nets allow an average of 38.5 FanDuel points per contest, making him a must-start candidate!
Other Options:
Kawhi Leonard, vs. Hornets ($8,200)
Tobias Harris, vs. 76ers ($6,700)
Power Forwards
Top Play: Blake Griffin, vs. Rockets ($10,000)
Griffin is by far one of my favorite players to stream for this Saturday DFS slate! The guy has been a DFS stud so far this season, averaging 45.88 FanDuel points per contest. Griffin will be facing off against a Rockets team who doesn’t defend well against opposing power forwards this year. In 2015, Houston allows an average of 47.9 FanDuel points per game, ranking as the 3rd worst team against the position.
Value Pick: Aaron Gordon, vs 76ers ($4,100)
There are two factors of why Gordon is my value pick, the 76ers are the worst team against power forwards and starting big man Nikola Vucevic could very well miss another game. This year, Philadelphia allows an average of 49.7 FanDuel points per contest, making Gordon a potential big play candidate. I honestly think that whether Vucevic plays or not, Gordon could be an ultra-productive option for a low price.
Other Options:
Anthony Davis, vs. Mavericks ($10,600)
Paul Millsap, vs. Wizards ($7,900)
Nerlens Noel, vs. Magic ($7,500)
Centers
Top Play: Karl-Anthony Towns, vs. Bulls ($6,400)
The center position is a tough one to call for this Saturday slate of games. I’m going to roll with Towns because he’s been a consistent option thus far in 2015. So far this year, he averages 30.25 FanDuel points per game. He’ll be facing off against a surprisingly bad Chicago defense versus centers. This year, the Bulls allow an average of 49.6 FanDuel points per contest, making Towns a must-start.
Value Pick: Festus Ezeli, vs. Kings ($3,800)
If you’re looking for a lower-tier guy who could fill your center position, Ezeli is your go-to guy! He will be facing off against a Kings team who allows an average of 51.6 FanDuel points per game, ranking as the 5th worst team in the league defending the position. Without DeMarcus Cousins, the Kings will have a tough time defending the rim against the Warriors big men. Ezeli will be one of those players who outperform his low price tag for this Saturday slate!
Other Options:
Greg Monroe, vs. Nets ($8,300)
DeAndre Jordan, vs. Rockets ($8,000)
Marcin Gortat, vs. Hawks ($6,000)
