Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (10/26/17): NBA Advice for FanDuel, DraftKings

With only five games on the slate for Thursday, it's going to be a great time to stack the late games and watch the points fly. Clippers vs Trail Blazers means Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan are going to be top options, Jordan more than Griffin due to Jordan's lower price. Other than that, Giannis Antetokounmpo is lines up for another monster game, along with a revenge game from DeMarcus Cousins. The Hawks-Bulls game may not be the most enticing matchup, but there are plenty of value options scattered throughout that game. Justin Holiday, Taurean Prince, and Robin Lopez to name a few.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/26/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on DraftKings.

If you have any questions or comments, let me know @HalfCourtJester on Twitter.

DFS Guards to Consider

Jerian Grant - PG, ATL @ CHI (DK - $5,500, FD - $6,500)

Jerian Grant scraped at a triple-double his last outing against the Cavaliers looks to improve on that against the Hawks. With the Bulls, Grant, and just about anyone who is hitting that night will be given the green light. With his ability to score from deep and make easy passes to make the easier bucket, Grant has high upside for tonight. The Bulls-Hawks is a game that is full of inconsistencies, but Grant has proved to produce no matter the opponent or situation.

E'Twaun Moore - SG, NO @ SAC (DK - $4,000, FD - $4,200)

Although point dependent, the Pelicans are dying for offense and Moore has been consistent on the court. His production has taken serious dives here and there, but both DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis look to feed him the ball. When Moore get's going, which he should tonight against the Kings porous defense, he is going to be the focal point of the supporting cast. He is never the most enticing option so call this a low-tier option with plenty of upside. Moore is a player that is shoot-first and simply produces when he has the ball. Until Rajon Rondo returns, Moore is always going to have high-upside due to his ability to catch fire and impact games with his offense.

 

DFS Forwards to Consider

Khris Middleton- SF/SG, BOS @ MIL (DK - $6,300, FD - $7,100)

This is primarily a DraftKings pick. He is listed as a shooting guard on FanDuel, not to mention his price is $7,100 which is exactly what negates my reasoning for play him in the first place. There are not many solid small forward options tonight, and Justin Holiday's price is similar, so this is telling you to pay up and go with Middleton if you can afford it. Middleton's price is lower than his value, while Holiday's price is dependent on if he has a great night.

Dwight Powell - PF, DAL @ MEM (DK - $3,100, FD - $3,100)

This is a huge risk, but Dwight Powell is lining up a back-to-back against the Memphis Grizzlies and has the chance to improve on his borderline minimal production. His minutes are gong to go up to help with the inside defense and rebounding, especially if Dirk Nowitzki is out. The Grizzlies lost their first game of the season last night in Grizzlies fashion, meaning they will come out guns blazing tonight. With those blazing guns, will come high-volume rebounds and Powell pulling in at least 10 with a few points scattered here and there. That's a high ceiling, but the Mavericks will need his length and his price is too low to pass up.

 

DFS Centers to Consider

Al Horford - C, BOS @ MIL (DK - $6,800, FD - $7,400)

This is an easy pick, seeing how Horford has the athletic advantage over just about any center, not to mention the Bucks lack a true defensive center. John Henson is long, but Horford will get one of his few chances to overpower his competition and get to his spots. Horford has been the go-to guy in the Celtics frontcourt and that will not change going forward. For such a cheap price, Horford needs to be rostered against teams that struggle to defend the paint against skilled big men.

Also Consider: Mike Muscala - C, ATL vs CHI (DK - $3,300, FD - $3,300)
