After an exciting few days of action, the league closes out the first weekend of the season with four games on tap. With almost a week in the books, we have a better understanding of how rotations will play out for each team, making things a little less complicated moving ahead.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 10/27/19. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also check out today's DraftKings lineup picks.
Give me a follow on Twitter @Den_Clausen and say hello. Good luck.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Kyrie Irving - PG, @ MEM ($10,300)
Irving is averaging 38 points on 26 shots per game throughout the first two games of the season. If you aren't looking to spend up on Karl-Anthony Towns, who will cost you nearly $2,000 more, Irving's ceiling is almost just as high. Regardless of who scores more fantasy points, however, having Irving in your lineup is not a bad way to go.
Luka Doncic - PG, vs. POR ($10,100)
Doncic is coming off of a triple-double against the Pelicans, and while he likely won't do that against the Trail Blazers, he is still someone you want in your lineup. Heavy minutes to go along with a healthy amount of shots per game is something nobody playing NBA DFS should pass up.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
LeBron James - SF, vs. CHA ($11,300)
LeBron is averaging 50.2 fantasy points this season and now that he is healthy, he will get plenty of chances to make some noise. With a 32.7 usage percentage, he will continue to have the ball in his hands and should hit at least 40 fantasy points (at minimum) against the Hornets.
Kristaps Porzingis - PF, vs. POR ($8,400)
Porzingis had 24 points and five blocks against the Pelicans, and though he is still logging less than 30 minutes per game thus far, he has been productive while on the floor. For just $8,400, you can't go wrong, especially when the options are limited at the four spot on Sunday night.
FanDuel DFS Centers
DeAndre Jordan - C, @ MEM ($4,600)
Jordan doesn't play a lot of minutes, but for a guy who is always a threat for a double-double, $4,600 is a reasonable deal. He will likely flip-flop with Jarrett Allen throughout the season, but expect him to come close to hitting his value against the Grizzlies.
