NBA FanDuel Picks For November 17
We here at Fantasy CPR will work very hard and do everything that we can to bring you articles to prepare you and help you be successful with your bids and games at FanDuel and DraftKings just as we have with MLB and NBA. I always recommend that you do plenty of homework on your own as well as reading our articles. You will also want to make sure that you have access to your FanDuel lineup prior to kickoff in case a player is a last-minute inactive players.
There should be plenty of bargains and great plays in this weeks set of games and we will try to help you to be as good as you can and take home plenty of cash.
Here are my FanDuel picks for November 17:
Next: Point Guards
Nov 15, 2015; Charlotte, NC, USA; Charlotte Hornets guard Kemba Walker (15) tries to keep his balance during the second half against the Portland Trail Blazers at Time Warner Cable Arena. Hornets defeated Portland 106-94. Mandatory Credit: Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports
Point Guards:
PG – Dennis Schroder – Schroder was a big benefactor of Teague sitting out of last night’s game with an ankle injury. I am expecting Teague to sit out again tonight and for Schroder to see big minutes once again as a starting PG. If Teague winds up playing I will be shuffling some guys around and likely running Mo Williams as a PG or Jrue Holiday.
PG – Kemba Walker – Walker has yet to be as assertive and consistent as I would have liked for him to be this season. He has played well, but he has also been kind of streaky. He has a good match-up against the Knicks tonight and should be able to show out.
Next: Shooting Guards

Shooting Guards:
SG – Giannis Antetokounmpo – Antetokounmpo has been playing great over his last two games. With only seven games to choose from tonight he is one of my favorite SG options and I do expect him to have a great game. The “Greek Freak” has been hot over his last several games and it should continue as he shows more maturity every week.
SG – Will Barton – Barton could be a little bit of a risk tonight, but in order to hit these things for any kind of money being risky is exactly what you have to do. His performances over the last few games should have easily earned him some extra minutes as a young developing player. At this price tag he is worth the risk and could help us hit it big tonight.
Next: Small Forwards
Nov 7, 2015; Sacramento, CA, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Andre Iguodala (9) goes up for a layup against the Sacramento Kings during the second quarter at Sleep Train Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports
Small Forwards:
SF – LeBron James – LeBron needs no introduction and no good reason to insert him in your lineup. He is hands down the best SF option for tonight and I will get him active. You should do the same thing.
SF – Andre Iguodala – Iguodala has never been quite the same player since he landed in the Golden State. However, he does manage to do well on occasion and usually plays well when Curry gets boxed up or the team struggles. The Warriors face off with the Raptors tonight who could give them a run for their money.
Next: Power Forwards and Center

Power Forwards:
PF – Thaddeus Young – Young has been a great addition for the Nets and he has been pretty hot over his last four games. He has scored over 30 fantasy points in three of his last four games and will look to keep that streak going tonight.

PF – Kenneth Faried – Faried has been cleared and supposedly deemed healthy. He has suffered with some back spasms, but as long as he is healthy he should easily see enough minutes to be a huge force for us tonight.
C – Greg Monroe – I started out with the intent to use Andre Drummond for tonight’s games, but I decided to spread the wealth around a little bit and use the cheaper option of Monroe at C tonight. Monroe has been quietly hot lately scoring over 38 fantasy points on three of his last four games.
