As the weekend comes to a close and much attention naturally turns to the National Football League, the NBA has a sizeable eight-game schedule. Yet, only seven of them are available for FanDuel's "Main Slate," which will begin at 6 pm (Eastern).
Recapping things from Saturday, we witnessed Devin Booker lead the way by dumping 56.2 fantasy points on the Atlanta Hawks while Jayson Tatum naturally saw an uptick in production without Jaylen Brown to finish three fantasy points behind Booker. Joel Embiid also had one of his best outings of the young campaign by compiling a 30-point, 15-rebound double-double, a performance capped off by a wave to the hometown Bulls' crowd. Lastly, Donovan Mitchell and Kyle Lowry shed questionable tags because of ankle injuries to surpass the 50-point fantasy mark.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/7/21. 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 NBA DFS lineup picks.

FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Jrue Holiday, SG - @ WAS ($6,800)
Holiday missed some time because of an ankle injury. However, he returned against the Knicks on Friday, albeit he played only 20 minutes off the bench. The veteran doesn't appear to have a minutes cap heading into Sunday's matchup against Washington, and with a rostering cost of just $6,800, he has plenty of room to smash his value. Additionally, Khris Middleton will remain out because of a positive COVID-19 diagnosis, so Holiday should also benefit from a +/- standpoint and see an increase in usage.
Terrence Ross, SG/SF - vs. UTA ($4,100)
Cole Anthony is listed on Sunday's injury report with an ankle ailment. If he doesn't see the floor against Utah, Ross should automatically be in line to produce. However, managers should monitor things leading up to opening tip, but if Anthony gets downgraded, Ross is a must-start.
Also Consider: Stephen Curry ($10,000), Donovan Mitchell ($8,000), De'Aaron Fox ($7,500), Terry Rozier ($5,500), Eric Bledsoe ($4,600)
FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Giannis Antetokounmpo, PF/SF - @ WAS ($11,300)
The Freak needs to be in everyone's lineup against the Wizards. Antetokounmpo has racked up 1.72 fantasy points per minute over the last month, and just like in Jrue Holiday's case, he should benefit without Khris Middleton in the equation. Unsurprisingly, he has some optimistic projections from Vegas as well, so fantasy managers need to put aside some pennies to afford the hefty $11,300 price tag.
Thaddeus Young, PF/C - @ OKC ($4,600)
Jakob Poeltl is out once again, which will clear a path for Young to get some minutes. He hasn't been getting a ton of minutes, sharing time with Drew Eubanks, but he's been getting it done, nonetheless. On Friday night, he had 36.3 fantasy points against the Orlando Magic, manufacturing 12 points, five assists, and four boards. Young also had three blocks in that one, bringing his total to five over his last two games.
Also Consider: Domantas Sabonis ($9,000), Gordon Hayward ($6,300), Evan Mobley ($6,000), Andrew Wiggins ($5,800), Kelly Oubre Jr. ($5,100), Royce O'Neale ($4,100), Eric Gordon ($3,900)
FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Jarrett Allen, C/PF - @ NYK ($7,500)
Allen has been on a roll lately, having scored at least 40 fantasy points in each of his previous three contests while accruing 54.4 points or more in two of them. Lauri Markkanen remains on the shelf for, you guessed it, health and safety protocols, allowing the former Net to see a boost in usage and +/- differential.
Also Consider: Mason Plumlee ($5,300)
