With an 11 game slate on Saturday, November 12th, we have no clue what to expect. But isn't that the reason we love the NBA? Players come out of nowhere and drop 30 for basement level pricing. Never underestimate any game and make sure to look for the best matchups. I have done some of the work for you but it is still up to you to make these players fit in your lineup.

These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/12/16. I try to only advise players I believe will outperform expectations and the players I advise are players in my lineup so IF it all goes downhill, I'll be tumbling down right next to you. Let's get rolling…

FanDuel DFS Guards

Kyle Lowry- PG, TOR vs. NY ($7,800)

Kyle Lowry has not been playing the same type of All-Star basketball we are accustomed to seeing, and a lot of that is due to the unreal production from DeMar DeRozan. Lowry faces the Knicks on the second half of a back to back which started with a modest game against the Hornets. I expect Lowry to pick up the torch while DeRozan can ease off the throttle a tad against a weak Knicks team that has been struggling across the board...*sigh

Tim Hardaway Jr.- SG, ATL vs. PHI ($3,500)

See that tasty price tag? You know what you are getting when you take that gamble BUT this matchup is prime for another Hardaway explosion that you should capitalize on. The 76ers are coming off a win against the Pacers while the Hawks are fully rested. Hardaway Jr. has become a tad bit less of a streaky shooter this season and his minutes are a result of his effectiveness. In what should be an easy win, Hardaway Jr. is primed to go.

Lou Williams- SG, LAL @ NO ($5,000)

I hate basing picks off of recent performances but Lou Williams has proven to be one of the top Lakers scoring threats and faces a favorable matchup against the Pelicans. Williams has been a serious part of this young Lakers squad that has made drastic improvements. Expect that to continue today.

Also Consider: Devin Booker- SG, PHX vs. BKN

Kristaps Porzingis- PF, NY @ TOR ($6,900)

Porzingis, along with the rest of the Knicks, have struggled this season. After a frustrating loss against the Celtics, Porzingis faces a tough team overall tonight, but with a favorable matchup. Assuming he'll be guarded by Patrick Patterson, Porzingis could be part of a big rebound night for New York. He has yet to have a 30 point game and he is overdue after coming close so many times.

T.J. Warren- SF, PHX vs. BKN ($6,100)

T.J. Warren has been impressive ever since the end of last season and his hot start should continue as he is one of the few scorers on the Suns. Although there are a few other mouths to feed in Phoenix, Warren will get his touches as he is usually the first option for offense. Against the Nets, Devin Booker and Eric Bledsoe should be able to hit their shots and free up space for Warren to work his magic, drive, and finish like he has been doing all season.

Also Consider: Andrew Wiggins - SF, vs LAC ($6,500)

FanDuel DFS Centers

Myles Turner- C, IND vs. BOS ($6,800)

Myles Turner continues to impress, and after fouling out in a loss to the 76ers, this is an ideal rebound game that will require Turner to capitalize on the fact the he will be facing Amir Johnson. As long as Turner can stay out of foul trouble, he is a solid play every night until proven he should be passed over. The Pacers have struggled to come together as a team but it hasn't affected Turner enough to make him a worrisome option.

Also Consider: Marc Gasol - C, vs. MIL ($7,100)
