We have a big 11-game slate on the agenda to kick off the week, with many of those matchups projected to be low-scoring. Minnesota at Atlanta leads the way with an anticipated overall score of 233 points, which is followed closely by Portland at Chicago with 227. Target as many of the players in these contests as they will likely hit their respective values with no issues at all. Also keep an eye on injuries throughout the day as the door will be open for cheaper options who could crush their values by far, enabling you to plug-in guys like Karl-Anthony Towns and/or Trae Young.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 11/25/19.
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. Let's dive right in!

FanDuel DFS Guards
Andrew Wiggins - SG, @ ATL ($8,400)
Wiggins missed three games with an illness but has posted solid numbers in the two games since returning to the lineup. He has at least 20 points in each game this month, and while he was playing better before his brief absence, he will probably pick things up on the scoring end against the Hawks. Look for this game to move fast, opening the door for Wiggins to take a few more shots than normal.
Spencer Dinwiddie - SG, @ CLE ($7,800)
Dinwiddie and the Nets barely beat the Knicks (again) on Sunday, but he should still get his usual allotted minutes against the Cavaliers on Monday night despite playing the second of a back-to-back. He remains the team's focal-point offensively for the underperforming Nets and will continue to log a ton of minutes and shots until Kyrie Irving returns from a shoulder injury, which may not happen for another week.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Jaylen Brown - SF, vs. SAC ($7,100)
Brown has already been benefiting from the absence of Gordon Hayward, who has been out with a broken hand, but he will get an even more significant boost on Monday night if Kemba Walker isn't able to suit up, which is likely the case. Brown stepped up against the Nuggets after Walker was stretchered off the floor with a neck injury, finishing with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists. It is not only unlikely for him to hit his value against the Kings but to surpass it by six or seven times his asking price.
Jonathan Isaac - SF, @ DET ($7,000)
While this one between the Magic and the Pistons will be one of the lowest-scoring games on the schedule, Isaac has thrived as of late with Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon both out of the lineup. He has accumulated at least 47.1 fantasy points in each of his last two games and should be in store for another strong performance against Detroit. Look for him, along with Evan Fournier, to continue to be the primary beneficiaries offensively until either Gordon or Vucevic are back.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Tristan Thompson - C, vs. BRK ($7,800)
Thompson was dominant against the Blazers on Saturday by racking up 25 points, nine boards, and two steals across 35 minutes of action. Though Kevin Love will probably be back after missing that one with a lower-back injury, the Nets are allowing a fourth-worst 60.18 fantasy points per game to opposing big men on the year.
