After an abbreviated slate on Sunday, the league is back with a hefty 11-game schedule to kick off the week.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 12/10/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also check out today's DraftKings lineup picks.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Kyrie Irving - PG, vs. NOP ($8,500)
Irving had an asking price of $9,100 against Chicago a few nights ago but is now priced at $8,500 on Monday night. Prior to the Celtics blowing out the Bulls, which caused a significant decrease in Irving's fantasy production due to a lack of minutes, he averaged 34 fantasy points over a six-game span. New Orleans should keep things competitive and with Irving on the floor for a full workload, look for him to expose the Pelican's defensively inefficient backcourt.
Langston Galloway - SG, @ PHI ($3,500)
Galloway has stepped up to the plate with the absence of Reggie Bullock, who has been out for the past few games while dealing with an ankle injury. Galloway had 24 points against New Orleans on Sunday, and if Bullock is out once again, the ceiling is high for him.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
LeBron James - SF, vs. MIA ($11,100)
The king dumped 72 fantasy points on Miami back in November, and after a subpar showing against Memphis on Saturday (at least by his standards), he will be fired up and ready to go. With Giannis coming off of a back-to-back in a game that should be a blowout, I'd rather spend my money on LeBron.
Bam Adebayo - PF, @ LAL ($6,500)
Bam will get the start once again on Monday in place of Hassan Whiteside, who will miss this one due to the birth of his child. Over the last two games in which Adebayo has filled in for Whiteside, he is averaging 18 points, eight rebounds, and a block and will have the luxury of going up against a Lakers squad that allows the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing centers this season. Though his price has increased and he isn't exclusively a bargain play, he will get his minutes and have ample opportunity to put up some fantasy points.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Steven Adams - C, vs. UTA ($7,100)
Adams is one of the most consistent options on the offensive end for OKC this season. Over the past 19 games, Adams has had less than 30 fantasy points in only three of them. The value is there, and even though Rudy Gobert will be floating around the basket, Adams can impose his physicality on anyone in the league.
