We have an 11-game slate tonight, with fantastic options at each position, so you will be looking to jam some of these studs in your lineups. We are a few games into the season and starting to see some good numbers when it comes to usage rate and fantasy points per minute.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/14/18. 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.
Make sure you don't set your lineups too early and also be sure to check player statuses and availability prior to opening tip. Give me a follow on Twitter @DFS_Tom and let me know how I did. Good luck!
FanDuel DFS Guards
Derrick Rose - PG, MIN vs NO (FD - $7,200)
With Jeff Teague being listed as questionable for this game we should see Rose get the majority of the minutes at point guard. We will also see plenty of offensive usage to continue to go towards Rose with Butler now gone. Rose comes in with a 38% usage rate this season along with averaging 1.42 fantasy points per minute this season when Teague and Butler are off the court. The matchup is also fantastic since he is up against the Pelicans who are giving up 53 FanDule points per game to point guards which is dead last in the league.
Dennis Schroder - SG, OKC vs NY (FD - $7,200)
Schroder will continue to be a popular option with Westbrook still sidelined due to an injury, so you should be looking to lock him into a few lineups. He comes in with a 31.9% usage rate, which is a 2.8% increase when Westbrook is off the court. That might not be the biggest increase, but he has posted 32 FanDuel points or more in three of his last four games, which is solid production for a player at his price point.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Joe Harris - SF, BKN vs MIA (FD - $4,800)
Harris is in a spot to potentially see some more playing time with Caris Levert going out with an injury, so this is a spot to jump on him before his price rises. Harris is already taking about five three-point attempts per game, which could be on the rise due to the extra playing time, so he brings plenty of GPP upside due to the higher point potential. His price is good and is up against the Heat who are giving up 41 FanDuel points per game to small forwards.
Al-Farouq Aminu - PF, POR @ LAL (FD - $5,300)
Aminu should be good for any format tonight since he is in a game where the over-under is set at 227 and up against the Lakers who are giving up 42 FanDuel points per game to power forwards. Love that Aminu doesn't break the bank and can really fill the stat sheet, as he has posted six or more rebounds in eight straight games along with scoring in double-digit points in four of those eight games. Getting it done in all areas provides solid value for your lineups.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Hassan Whiteside - C, MIA @ BKN (FD - $9,200)
There are plenty of high-priced options to spend up for today at the center position, but Whiteside is the one I have my eye on. He comes in with four straight double-doubles and now has one of the best matchups on the slate since he is up against the Nets, who are giving up 63 FanDuel points per game to centers this season which is second worst in the league. Whiteside is also over $1K cheaper compared to KAT and Embiid, so the slightest bit of savings for comparable production can help with lineup construction.
