I hope everyone is having a fantastic week and had a successful DFS night on Monday. The league features an abbreviated five-game slate with not many notable injuries outside of basically the entire Mavericks team in danger of not playing. There are also a bunch of projected low-scoring games so in regards to Vegas, I am going to load up on players from Sacramento/Phoenix.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 12/4/18. 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.
Give me a follow on Twitter @Den_Clausen and say hello. Good luck!

FanDuel DFS Guards
De'Aaron Fox - PG, @ PHO ($7,900)
The Kings are matched up against one of the worst defensive teams in the league and with that, expect the shots to fly on Tuesday night. Fox and Buddy Hield are arguably one of the most promising up and coming tandems in the league, and it is evident that the team is built around them as they both get plenty of minutes and are responsible more a significant portion of the team's offensive output. With this game expected to be the projected highest scoring game on the slate, I have no issues rolling with Fox and Hield.
Bogdan Bogdanovic - SG, @ PHO ($6,600)
We will keep things consistent by throwing Bogdanovic into the mix as well. The 26-year-old continues to also get a significant amount of minutes and is shooting nearly 40 percent from deep on the year. Factor in 12.5 field goal attempts, and we have someone who is capable of putting together a nice outing against a horrendous Suns team on Tuesday.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Lauri Markkanen - PF, @ IND ($6,200)
Markkanen made his return on Saturday night against the Rockets after missing time with an elbow injury, finishing the night with 10 points throughout 26 minutes off the bench. He had some rust, going 4-for-14 from the field and 2-for-6 from deep, but expect him to bounce back against the Pacers as a member of the starting rotation.
Trevor Ariza - SF, vs. SAC ($5,600)
Ariza has stepped up to the plate as of late, averaging nearly 10 points and nine rebounds over the last 10 games. However, where he shines is on the defensive end where he is averaging a little over two steals per game during that same span. He won't blow anyone away offensively but expect him to be more involved with Devin Booker out with a hamstring ailment.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Willie Cauley-Stein - C, @ PHO ($7,500)
Behind the Brooklyn Nets, who are as bad as it comes in the middle, the Suns are the second-worst team in the league to opposing centers this season. Cauley-Stein has solidified his spot in the team's rotation and expect him to expose Phoenix on Tuesday night.
