It is a very small four-game slate tonight on FanDuel. There are a couple of games to look forward to. For example, the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings always put on a very high-scoring, fantasy-relevant game. The Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls should be fun as well with Dwyane Wade returning to Miami.
These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/10/16. Note that these DFS lineup picks can range from some of the elite NBA players to mid-priced DFS options and value play sleepers on FanDuel. Let's get rolling…

FanDuel DFS Guards
Giannis Antetokounmpo - PG, vs NOP ($9,600)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best guards in the league. He can, obviously, also play forward, but for fantasy purposes, he is a point guard only. He gets a great matchup tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans, a team that will push the pace of the game, but neglect to play much defense. He struggled against the Dallas Mavericks, posting only 27.4 fantasy points in 26 minutes, but his minutes should increase and so should his production. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments tonight.
Goran Dragic - PG, vs CHI ($6,800)
Goran Dragic makes for a good tournament option tonight against the Chicago Bulls. He posted over 50 fantasy points three games ago against the Sacramento Kings in 41 minutes on the court. He should see around 30-35 minutes tonight against the Chicago Bulls, and despite the Bulls' decent defense, Dragic should create scoring opportunities. His upside is tremendous and his price tag is reasonable.
Also Consider: Tim Frazier - PG, at MIL ($5,500)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Kevin Durant - SF, at DEN ($9,600)
Kevin Durant is the best small forward option in the league right now on DraftKings and FanDuel. He is consistently posting 40 plus fantasy points, and he gets a great matchup tonight against the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are horrible defensively, and if they pester the Golden State Warriors late in this game, Durant is going to soar past fantasy value. He is the number one option on the Warriors' offense. Do not let Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, or Draymond Green fool you.
Justise Winslow - SF, vs CHI ($4,800)
Justise Winslow, despite a poor outing against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday, has been solid so far this season. He posted over 20 fantasy points in every other game this season. He is playing 30-35 minutes per game, and his price tag is very low. There is really no reason to avoid him in 50/50 contests or tournaments on such a short four-game slate. Winslow is a salary cap life savor tonight.
Also Consider: Larry Nance Jr. - PF, at SAC ($3,900)
FanDuel DFS Centers
DeMarcus Cousins - C, vs LAL ($9,500)
DeMarcus Cousins should be licking his chops tonight, as he awaits the arrival of the Los Angeles Lakers' squad. The Lakers are horrible defensively, especially against big men, and Cousins has finally been starting to turn it up this season. He has over 44 fantasy points in two straight games now. He should be able to secure rebounds fairly easily, and he is obviously going to score at will. This is going to be an uptempo, high-scoring affair, so attack it as much as possible.
Also Consider: Jusuf Nurkic - C, vs GSW ($5,700)
