Welcome to NBA Tuesday - We have eight games on the slate with plenty to look at in tournaments. De'Aaron Fox is going to miss a few weeks, and there is plenty to take advantage of with him out of the lineup. Let's dive right in!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/12/19. 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.
Give me a follow on Twitter @DFSVarney and say hello. Good luck RotoBallers!

FanDuel DFS Guards
Donovan Mitchell - SG, UTA vs. BKN ($8,400)
Donovan Mitchell played just 33 minutes last night against the Warriors, so he should be good to go for a full 34+ in this one. The Brooklyn Nets play extremely fast and don’t have much rim protection at all. Mitchell is still too cheap on FanDuel and he makes for a tremendous play in both cash games and tournaments. There are a lot of options at SG and it should lead to a low-owned Mitchell.
Cory Joseph - PG, SAC vs. POR ($3,700)
With De’Aaron Fox out for a few weeks, it’s going to be Cory Joseph that steps up and sees 28+ minutes on a nightly basis. Joseph has always been productive when on the floor and he fits well in this offense. The Blazers aren’t strong defensively and Joseph should have no problem putting up a fantasy point per minute. He’s my favorite value play on the day.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Anthony Davis - PF, LAL @ PHO ($11,700)
Anthony Davis is my favorite way to pay up on this slate. He's probable to play and came in with the same designation against the Grizzlies when he put up 73 fantasy points. The Suns are terrible down low and Davis is going to dominate these guys. There's no wrong answer between LeBron James and Anthony Davis, but James has gotten a bit more expensive of late and Davis a bit cheaper. Dario Saric and Aron Baynes have absolutely no chance of stopping Davis and I'd be surprised if he finishes under 60 fantasy points here.
Joe Ingles - SF, UTA vs. BKN ($4,400)
Small forward is pretty terrible, and this price on Joe Ingles is way too low on FanDuel. The Brooklyn Nets play at one of the fastest paces in the NBA and they give up more open threes than anyone. Ingles is going to get 25+ minutes and it'll be hard to get away from him in either format. At the weakest position on the slate, Ingles is a great value play.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Nikola Jokic - C, DEN vs. ATL ($9,000)
Jokic is still priced down and he's looked a lot more like himself over the last two games. He's been at 58 and 43 fantasy points in the last two games and now he faces an insanely weak Hawks squad that can't cover any bigs. Jokic is a lock for 40 fantasy points and he could easily get over 60 against Jabari Parker, Damian Jones, and Alex Len.
