Tonight, there are only five games during the 'All Day' slate and four games during the 'Main Slate.' It is going to be tough to find value, but that is what I'm here for! The Golden State Warriors get a very uptempo matchup against the Phoenix Suns, and the Los Angeles Lakers are going to push the pace on the Minnesota Twins. It should be a fun one.

These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/13/16. 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

Stephen Curry - PG, vs PHX ($8,900)

Stephen Curry gets a great matchup against the Phoenix Suns, a team that loves to run the court. The Golden State Warriors are still in the gelling process, and Curry has been getting better. He shot the ball 26 times against the New Orleans Pelicans, and if he feels the need to do so again tonight against the Suns, he will not hesitate. His price tag is down, and his upside is, well..., up.

Nicolas Batum - SG, at CLE ($6,300)

Nicolas Batum looked outstanding in his last game, which was against the Toronto Raptors. He posted 35 fantasy points in 39 minutes on the court, contributing in all stat categories. That is the kind of player that Batum is - he always contributes in multiple stat categories. If he can keep his turnovers down tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he should have another solid outing. Use him in all leagues, but only because it is a very short slate.

Also Consider: Klay Thompson - SG, vs PHX ($5,800)

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Kevin Durant - SF, vs PHX ($9,500)

Kevin Durant is the best option on the board tonight at any position. His price tag is always too low. He is consistently posting over 40 fantasy points, and his upside goes beyond that, especially tonight against the fast-paced Phoenix Suns. He should have no issues hitting value, and if he gets hot early, look for a 50 plus fantasy point performance from the ex-Oklahoma City Thunder.

Kenneth Faried - PF, at POR ($5,100)

Kenneth Faried has looked solid over his last few games, posting over 20 fantasy points in four straight now. He is playing right around 25-30 minutes per game, and against the Portland Trailblazers, that is enough to easily hit value. The Trailblazers love to push the tempo of the game, and Faried is athletic enough to run with them. He should have no issue grabbing rebounds and scoring points tonight.

Also Consider: Domantas Sabonis - PF, vs ORL ($4,000)

FanDuel DFS Centers

Karl-Anthony Towns - C, vs LAL ($8,600)

Karl-Anthony Towns should obviously be the best center option on the board. He gets a great matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, a team that struggles against opposing big men, even if they have been decent defensively so far this season. KAT posted over 40 fantasy points in both of his last two starts, and making it a third tonight would not be surprising. He has a great ability to score with the basketball in his hands, and his rebounding skills are elite.

Also Consider: Jusuf Nurkic - C, at POR ($5,500)
