Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers! I hope this week of NBA DFS has treated you well. I'm continuing to work on my NBA model, trying to gather more information to make sure all of you are as armed as possible going into each slate. Even with the small adjustments I've made so far, it seems to be working. I'm trying to implement different factors to separate cash options against GPP options. I'll continue to keep you all updated with the adjustments I make, and with all of that said, let's get to tonight!
Tonight we have a big slate, with a whopping 13 games on tap. With FanDuel adding multi-position eligibility players, we'll have to attack slates a bit differently to make our lineups as optimal as possible. That's where I come in! I'll look to find my personal top plays and values for tonight's slate. Things can change during the day as well, so I'll do my best to update as news comes out!
Here are my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/10/21. You can also check out today's DraftKings NBA DFS lineup picks. Keep an eye on RotoBaller’s injury news to stay up to date before lineups are locked.
FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
LaMelo Ball, PG - at MEM ($8,900)
LaMelo seems to have picked up right where he left off last season. He's averaging 42.73 FD points per game, with six straight 40+ point performances, with three of those being 50+ performances. He gets a strong matchup against the Grizzlies tonight, who are among the worst at defending point guards this season. My early projections have LaMelo as the top value guard on the slate, with his value being well over 6x.
Buddy Hield, SG/SF - at SAS ($6,000)
Buddy Hield, among other Kings guards, gets a boost tonight if Tyrese Haliburton is out of the lineup tonight. He struggled on Monday without him, going for just 25.2 FD points, but I have him as a top value on the slate. As long as Haliburton is out, I have Hield projected over 35 FD points against a Spurs team who are below average at defending both the SG and SF positions.
Steph Curry, PG - vs MIN ($10,200)
After a bit of a slow stretch, Steph lit the world on fire with a 50-point double-double performance which resulted in 83.4 FD points. He gets another fantastic matchup tonight in what should be a fast-paced game against the Timberwolves. My early numbers have Curry going for nearly 55 FD points, hitting 5x value with ease. He'll likely be popular tonight as folks will "chase" him after Monday's performance, but depending on his ownership I think he's a viable play in all contest formats.
Also consider: Josh Giddey ($6,000), Davion Mitchell ($4,800)

FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Thaddeus Young, PF/C - vs SAC ($4,600)
With Jakob Poeltl out, it's been Thaddeus Young that has benefitted a ton in his absence. Young is averaging a whopping 1.21 FD points per minute and should log about 25 minutes tonight. The Kings struggle against the center position, where Young has typically been playing without Poeltl is in the lineup. This is where we can use the multi-positional format to our advantage, picking up multiple high points per minute big man, and stuffing them in our lineup.
Jarrett Allen, PF/C - vs WAS ($7,500)
Following a slow-ish start to the year for Allen, he's come to dominate over his last four games. He's had four straight 40+ FD point performances, and in two of which he logged over 50 FD points. He should be able to dominate the Wizards tonight, and my early projections have him over 5.5x value. I can't imagine he'll be high-owned, so I really like Allen as a GPP play here.
Aaron Gordon, PF - vs IND ($5,000)
Aaron Gordon should see a huge minutes boost tonight as Nikola Jokic serves his suspension. Gordon averages 0.8 fantasy points per minute overall this year, and that number rises to 1.09 fantasy points per minute when both Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr. are off the floor. I have him projected to play north of 30 minutes tonight, and it's hard to see an avenue where he doesn't hit 5-6x value. He'll be chalk most likely, and should be in your cash lineup.
Also consider: Andrew Wiggins ($5,500), Kelly Oubre ($4,700)
FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Christian Wood, C/PF - at DET ($8,200)
Despite a small blip against Golden State Sunday night, Wood has been fantastic all season. Of the top value centers on tonight's slate, he's among the highest in usage, coming in at 20.27%. He also averages 1.15 fantasy points per minute, but he could get an absolute MASSIVE boost if Kevin Porter Jr. doesn't play. When Porter is off of the floor, his fantasy points per minute rises to 1.48 points per minute. If Porter is ruled out tonight, he's a must-play in all formats for me. I think he's a great play regardless, but it's something to keep an eye on as the day goes on.
Mo Bamba, C/PF - vs BKN ($6,500)
An article favorite here, I just love Mo Bamba on every slate. He matches up well with Brooklyn, who are middle of the pack against the power forward and center positions. Bamba's averaging over 1 fantasy point per minute, and I'd hope he plays over 30 minutes tonight. I have him projected at 29 minutes right now, but the potential for a blowout is something to always factor in. He's a solid GPP play, but I wouldn't play him in cash.
Also consider: Wendell Carter Jr. ($6,400), Evan Mobley ($6,700)
