DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 18

High Value PF

Kenneth Faried-Denver Nuggets (5,900): “The Return of the Manimal” seems to b e a real thing in Denver, and in his two games back in the starting lineup Faried has dropped 48 and 48.25 fantasy points with massive double-doubles and good defensive numbers. Remeber, though, that those games did come against the Blazers and Suns and he’s still playing under 30 minutes a night. I expect him to cool off a little, but still be a good value tonight.∗∗∗∗

Trevor Booker-Brooklyn Nets (5,800): Booker has been in my DraftKings daily picks repeatedly throughout the season, and he’s back again tonight as the Nets hit OKC. Booker had another double-double on Tuesday in LA finishing with 35 fantasy points on 11 points and ten rebounds. He has at least 35 fantasy points in four of his last six games and seems to be right around 10-10 with some defensive numbers most games. The only times he has fallen short of that has been in blowouts, so look for him to be a good value tonight as the Nets try to keep pace with Westbrook and the Thunder.∗∗∗

Jon Leuer-Detroit Pistons (5,100): Leuer continues to be a 5K PF play in his role off the bench for the Pistons. He scored a season-high 17 points to go with his always steady rebounding numbers on Wednesday and posted a very solid 34.75 fantasy points. He has at least 24 fantasy points in six of his last seven games and is a low-risk play against the Cavs tonight. ∗∗∗

Kelly Olynyk-Boston Celtics (4,600): Even after a few down games (16 and 14 fantasy points) Olynyk has upside enough to take a look at since he’s so cheap. He had 34.25 fantasy points and 21 fantasy points in two games last weekend, and he’ll look to get back to that level as he takes on the Warriors tonight. Olynyk can be the center in Boston’s small-ball attack of slide to the PF spot if Al Horford returns. He’s risky, but at under 5K there is definitely a lot to like. Horford back-∗∗ No Big Al-∗∗∗
