Once again, we get an extremely small Tuesday slate. With that being said, there are plenty of great options. The games aren't necessarily going to be the most exciting this season, but they could make for some interesting fantasy options.
The DFS lineup picks for 11/14/17 will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings and FanDuel.
Let's not waste any time and jump right in!

DFS Guards to Consider
Kyrie Irving - PG, at BKN (DK - $8,200, FD - $8,500)
Irving is currently questionable, but there are reports that he is closer to probable than doubtful. He has displayed tremendous upside this season, leading the Celtics offense. He gets an elite matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, who love the push the pace in games. Irving has also been a better fantasy option on the road this season, and he is a great option once he is announced as healthy tonight.
Dennis Smith Jr - PG/SG, vs SA (DK - $5,600, FD - $6,300)
Smith has been heating up recently, averaging 18.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in 29.6 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has seen a recent uptick in usage, taking at least 15 shots in six consecutive games. As is the case with many young players, he has been a better fantasy option at home. He gets a tough matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, but he is too cheap tonight. He can be used in all leagues.
DFS Forwards to Consider
Harrison Barnes - SF/PF, vs SA (DK - $6,100, FD - $6,900)
Barnes has caught fire over his last five games, averaging 23.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists over that span. He has been locked into big minutes, playing at least 35 minutes in four of his last five games, including three games with 39 minutes. He has also been locked into big shots on a nightly basis. The Spurs are only slightly above average against the small forward this season, making Barnes an elite option tonight.
DeMarre Carroll - SF/PF, vs BOS (DK - $5,800, FD - $6,200)
Carroll has dealt with a few injuries this season, but he has looked outstanding when on the court. In his last five games with 30+ minutes, he is averaging 30.1 DK points and 30 FD points per game. He gets a difficult matchup against the Celtics, but Carroll is still relatively cheap. This game should also be arguably the fastest paced game of the night. Carroll can be considered in all leagues tonight.
DFS Centers to Consider
Clint Capela - C, vs TOR (DK - $7,100, FD - $7,500)
Capela is an extremely frustrating player. He is an elite fantasy option when he is on the court, but he tends to struggle with fouls. On the season, he is averaging 13.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.9 blocks in only 25.6 minutes per game. He has seen at least 30 minutes in each of his last three games, though. He also gets a solid matchup against the Toronto Raptors, and Capela can be considered in all leagues because of the limited slate.
