FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 14

High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder (11,600): Westbrook lit up the Magic last night with a monster 41-16-12 triple-double for 77.4 fantasy points. Normally players over 11K struggle to return good value, but with numbers like that Westbrook’s owners had a strong foundation in last night’s high-scoring overall contest. Westbrook has played heavy minutes lately and is playing his third game in four nights tonight as the Thunder visit Detroit. Fatigue may be a factor, but it’s also important to remember that the Pistons don’t have Reggie Jackson and are starting Ish Smith which should allow Westbrook to still compile nice numbers.∗∗∗

Chris Paul-Los Angeles Clippers (9,200): Another star PG takin on a depleted opponent is Chris Paul of the Clippers as he faces the Nets who have been without Jeremy Lin, Isaiah Whitehead, and Greivis Vasquez (who they cut). Whitehead could be back but his return still will make a good matchup for CP3 against the Nets who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game in the NBA to opposing PG. Paul has good form rolling into this one with over 35 fantasy points in eight straight and over 40 fantasy points in five of those contests. He has played limited minutes in some of those games because of blowouts which is the only real risk in starting him tonight. Paul and the Clippers have looked great so far this season, so it is definitely a possibility that they put this game away early and Paul plays under 30 minutes. Even if that’s the case, the good matchup makes him a nice target especially with all the other injury situations near the top of the PG salary structure.∗∗∗∗

Jeff Teague-Indiana Pacers (6,200): The Pacers get the good matchup that Westbrook took advantage of last night as they welcome in the Magic tonight. Teague has been a little up-and-down in his time with his new team in Indiana, but he is usually good for at lest 25 fantasy points. He has that many in five of his last seven games including his most recent game which was Saturday against the Celtics. Teague’s 20 points, four assists, and there rebounds were decent, but he should be able to do better tonight since the Magic are in the top ten in most fantasy points per game given up to opposing PGs. Teague has a lot of variation from game to game, but last week he did put up over 50 fantasy points showing he has a very high ceiling. ∗∗
