With eight games on the slate for tonight, there should be no reason why you can't find enough value to spend up on a few superstars. There is only one superstar I will be spending up on but we will get to James Harden later...
These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/14/16. 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…

FanDuel DFS Guards
Jamal Crawford - SG, vs. BKN ($4,100)
I was split between either J.J. Reddick ($4,100) or Jamal Crawford and decided to go with Crawford because of his ability to get shots much easier. Reddick has been a tad quiet this year as the Clippers starting shooting guard and both carry a decent bit of risk. That being said, you know you need to risk a little bit to get the big pay out but either one is a fine play tonight. The Clippers have been dominating and expect the lower-valued Clippers to get the most minutes tonight.
J.J. Barea - PG, at NY ($5,800)
I hate going against the Knicks because I feel like a bad fan, but I need to be honest to all my RotoBaller supporters. The Knicks are garbage on defense, probably because Jeff Hornacek doesn't practice defense, but anywhoooo... J.J Barea has capitalized on his starts for the Mavericks and he has plenty of experience to handle a full workload. With Deron Williams out, J.J. is a much more consistent option with a good price tag, especially if your contemplating 'Streaky' Seth Curry.
Also Consider: James Harden - SG, vs. PHI ($11,600)
Yeah it is Philadelphia but James Harden feasts on these matchups.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
C.J. Miles - SF, vs. ORL ($4,400)
C.J. Miles is the top bench scorer for the Pacers for the time being so jump on the C.J. train while you can. He has been and will continue to get minutes, especially while Paul George is dealing with a lingering ankle injury. His last few games have been a tad sketchy but assuming he will get plenty of touches on a Pacers squad that needs production from just about every player to win, Miles should channel his 20-point scoring self for the next game or two.
Gordon Hayward - SF, vs. MEM ($7,700)
Since his return from injury, Hayward has been on an All-Star-like hot streak. Although Memphis has been known for its defense in recent years, the Grizzlies have no one to stop Hayward. When it gets to players of such high caliber like Hayward, you need to know that every game is a big game for them and that the closest games will be the situations where they play at their absolute best. Utah needs Hayward to facilitate offense and this should be a great game where Hayward can solidify him as a very early All-Star candidate.
Also Consider: Kristaps Porzingis - PF, vs. DAL ($6,800)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Andre Drummond - C, vs. OKC ($8,100)
This shouldn't be a surprise. I'm looking to get Drummond in my lineup every night. Even when the Pistons lose, Drummond still gets 20 points and 20 rebounds like its nothing. If I can't get Hassan Whiteside or Andre Drummond every night, you can find some serious value at this position. In what should be a tight game, Drummond is going up against an easy matchup and should dominate Steven Adams up and down the floor.
Also Consider: DeAndre Jordan - C, vs. BKN ($6,900)
