RADIO
I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday. As expected, we have games scheduled throughout the day on Sunday, with the first occurring at 3 pm (eastern). In terms of injuries, there are plenty of guys listed on the latest report, with Kyrie Irving, JA Morant, Jake Layman, Treveon Graham, Shabazz Napier, Josh Okogie, Dennis Smith Jr., Marcus Morris, Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, Derrick Favors, Kenrich Williams, D'Angelo Russell, Nikola Vucevic, Kyle Lowry, and Serge Ibaka as the notables who are in danger of not playing, or have already been ruled out. From our friends in Vegas, OKC/New Orleans, Memphis/Minnesota, and Washington/Los Angeles Clippers are all projected to combine for at least 228 points. Look for these games to produce some of the highest fantasy numbers on the day.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 12/1/19. 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.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Spencer Dinwiddie - PG, vs. MIA ($8,700)
As long as Kyrie Irving is out of the lineup, Dinwiddie should have a place in everyone's fantasy lineup. The 26-year-old is averaging 24.5 points, 7.8 assists, and three rebounds without Irving in the mix, and was also recently named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week. If you need to offset some of Dinwiddie's recently-inflated cost, feel free to throw in Garrett Temple, who has hit at least 32.9 fantasy points in each of his last two games, in at the shooting guard spot.
DeMar DeRozan - SG, @ DET ($8,100)
DeRozan has quietly been one of the most efficient fantasy producers and has hit his value in 65 percent of his games this season. He hasn't produced less than 27.7 fantasy points in any appearance on the year and has hit at least 36.8 fantasy points in each of his last seven games.
Also Consider: Luka Doncic ($12,200), Chris Paul ($7,600), Kemba Walker ($7,500), Jeff Teague ($6,400), Markelle Fultz ($5,600), Goran Dragic ($5,500), Ish Smith ($4,500), Tyus Jones ($3,600), Bradley Beal ($9,400), Jimmy Butler ($9,200), Andrew Wiggins ($8,300), Jrue Holiday ($7,900), Lou Williams ($7,300), Evan Fournier ($6.300), Dennis Schroder ($5,800), Dillon Brooks ($4,900)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Bam Adebayo - PF, @ BKN ($8,300)
Adebayo is listed as a power forward but will start at the five against the Nets. Brooklyn has been historically one of the worst teams defending underneath the basket, so look for the big man to take full advantage of this. He only played 24 minutes against the Warriors but accrued 43.2 fantasy points in three of his previous four games prior.
Jaren Jackson Jr. - PF, @ MIN ($6,400)
With JA Morant out for the next week or so, look for Jackson to step it up even more. He is averaging 32.4 fantasy points over his last four games and will likely hit his value on Sunday with no issues at all.
Also Consider: LeBron James ($11,400), Pascal Siakam ($9,300), Brandon Ingram ($9,000), Danilo Gallinari ($7,300), Justise Winslow ($5,600), Joe Harris ($5,600), Taurean Prince ($5,300), Jae Crowder ($5,000), Jarrett Culver ($4,800), Anthony Davis ($11,300), Kristaps Porzingis ($8,400), Blake Griffin ($7,400), Jarrett Allen ($7,200), Draymond Green ($7,000), Aaron Gordon ($6,100), Eric Paschall ($5,800), Khem Birch ($4,500)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Karl-Anthony Towns - C, vs. MEM ($10,800)
Towns will be matched up against a Grizzlies defense that is allowing a fifth-worst 43.04 fantasy points per game to opposing big men this season, while also letting opposing centers shoot 57 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from deep. Towns is shooting an impressive 44.4 percent from behind the arc this season, so look for him to do some damage on Sunday. Make sure he is in your lineup.
Also Consider: Andre Drummond ($9,800), Montrezl Harrell ($7,600), Jonas Valanciunas ($7,200), Jahlil Okafor ($4,800)
