NBA FanDuel Lineup For December 3
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 is my NBA FanDuel lineup For December 3:
Dec 1, 2015; Minneapolis, MN, USA; Orlando Magic guard Elfrid Payton (4) looks on from the court during the second quarter against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center. The Magic won 96-93. Mandatory Credit: Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports
Point Guards:
PG – Rajon Rondo – Rondo is playing fantastic and looking like he wants a huge contract for next season. Everyone who owns him in fantasy leagues whether it is daily or regular season are the ones who are reaping the benefits. I am expecting his price tag here to continue to rise, but until it gets too high he is still a good value.
PG – Elfrid Payton – Payton is a good value play for us here. He has a good match-up with the Jazz and hopefully this will be one of his hot nights and he will produce at the level that we expect of him.
Next: Shooting Guards
Nov 30, 2015; Los Angeles, CA, USA; Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (3) is pursued by Los Angeles Clippers forward Josh Smith (5) during an NBA game at Staples Center. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
Shooting Guards:
SG – C.J. McCollum – McCollum has been one of the nicer breakout players of this fantasy season. I like his match-up with the Pacers and I expect him to see Monta Ellis who he should do well against. McCollum is a guy I like across multiple formats.
SG – Evan Fournier – Whatever you do, don’t google search ‘Fournier’. I told you not to… Anyway. I also realize that Fournier has not been playing spectacular as of late, but I think that he should be good in this match-up for 25-30 fantasy points and with the rest of this lineup he should get us to where we need to be.
Next: Small Forwards
Nov 29, 2015; Orlando, FL, USA; Boston Celtics guard Evan Turner (11) shoots over Orlando Magic guard Elfrid Payton (4) during the second half of a basketball game at Amway Center. The Magic won 110-91. Mandatory Credit: Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports
Small Forwards:
SF – Jae Crowder – Crowder is a guy who contributes in a lot of different ways and should also be a guy who will get us the 25 or so fantasy points that we need to get us up to a point where we are in the money. What I want to see is several guys who play to their averages and have some of our big name guys have a huge night and put us over the top.
SF – Evan Turner – Turner is a guy who should be able to put up 30 fantasy points. At the price of $5,100 that is a great bargain. If all of these bargain bin players do their thing and play to what we expect, then we will be in great shape.
Next: Power Forwards And Center
Nov 23, 2015; Salt Lake City, UT, USA; Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (15) boxes out Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka (9) during the first half at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Oklahoma City won 111-89. Mandatory Credit: Russ Isabella-USA TODAY Sports
Power Forwards:
PF – Derrick Favors – Favors will actually be starting at center with the injury to Rudy Gobert. Favors has typically done well at center and should be able to do well in a decent match-up with the Magic and Nikola Vucevic.
PF – Trey Lyles – The early word is that Lyles will start at PF for the Jazz in the wake of this injury. I am not always a big fan of using guys from the same team, but I like this stack and expect him to get enough minutes and at this price to be a worthy play.
Next: Should You Buy Low On Gorgui Dieng
Center:
C – DeMarcus Cousins – Here is where we spend a large chunk of our salary. It is easy to expect a big night out of Cousins. He is a monster and had a big game after missing three straight. He was over 50 fantasy points and that is what we will need to see from him on order to hit the money.
As always we thank you for stopping by and wish you FanDuelers the best of luck.
