FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 9

High Salary SF

Kawhi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs (8,800): If you decide to build a balanced lineup across the board, or can work him into your stars/sleepers situation, Leonard is a good play tonight as the Spurs welcome in James Harden and the Rockets. The Rockets are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing SF, and Leonard has been excellent in all the Spurs games where he hs played his regular minutes. In the team’s blowout loss to LA he only had 24.7 fantasy points in 28 minutes, but he had 51.2 fantasy points against Utah the game before that on 29 points and 11 rebounds. Since San Antonio hasn’t played since Saturday and won’t play again until Friday, Leonard should be set up for a full complement of minutes in what will be the first of two matchups this week with the high-scoring Rockets. ∗∗∗∗

Jimmy Butler-Chicago Bulls (7,600): Butler is coming off his most diverse and profitable fantasy night of the season after reaching 41.5 fantasy points on 20 points, seven assists, five reboudns, and four steals on Monday against the Magic. Butler has at least 34 fantasy points in three of his last four contests(with a blowout in the other game). He and the Bulls could be catching the Hawks at a good time after Atlanta spent a lot of energy winning on the road last night in Cleveland. ∗∗∗

Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (7,200): Hayward has shown no signs of rust in his first two games of the season posting 31 fantasy points agianst the Knicks on Sunday and continues back with 34.9 fantasy points the next night in Philadelphia. He had a very balanced Hayward-like like in that Sixers’ game with 20 points, five assists, seven rebounds, and a steal in just 30 minutes. He isn’t a cheap investment at over 7K, but he does have upside as faces the Hornets who made a big play to sign him when he was a restricted free agent. ∗∗
