FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-November 30
High Salary C
DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (10,900): Cousins went off on Monday for a massive 36-20-4 line along with two steals and a block for 67 fantasy points. He has over 50 fantasy points in four straight and seven of his last eight with three games over 60 fantasy points during that run. Tonight, the Kings are in Philadelphia where he’ll get to go toe-to-toe with Joel Embiid. Cousins always carries a little risk due to his volatile nature but his has six double-dobuls in his last seven games and has scored 32 points or more in four straight. He gets a great matchup tonight against Philadelphia that has given up more fantasy points to opposing centers than any other team in the NBA. If you can find a way to get him under your salary cap, he’s a great option to roll with tonight.∗∗∗∗
Al Horford-Boston Celtics (7,500): Horford missed Monday’s game in Miami after the birth of his child, but he should be primed and ready to return tonight as the C’s host the Pistons. Due to injury and his personal absence, Horford has played in just seven games this season, but he has looked good when he has been on the floor. He returned from his concussion in the last game the Celtics played Detroit and posted 18-11-5 for 47.7 fantasy points. He has at least 33 fantasy points in each of his four games since returning and is a rock-solid option int he middle tonight.∗∗∗∗
Marc Gasol-Memphis Grizzlies (7,000): Gasol will have to carry the Grizzlies with all the carnage on the roster around him. He has at least 19 points in three of his last four games and at least 31 fantasy points in four of his last five. He had 28-3-6 on Saturday against Miami when he was able to get to 40 fantasy points. He definitely has that kind of upside as the focus of the Memphis attack, but he’s also risky since defenses will key on him and he could end up in blowouts including tonight in Toronto. ∗∗
Myles Turner-Indiana Pacers (6,400): Portland can’t defend opposing big men at center or PF, so Turner should be ready to come through with a big game tonight against the Blazers. He has played limited minutes in the last two games but still managed to produce 35.1 and 36.9 fantasy points against the Nets and Clippers. He had 17-12-3 on Sunday for his first double-double since the second game of the season, and he should be ready for a full workload of minutes tonight after two days off. The only bummer is that on FanDuel you can only choose one of him, Horford, Embiid, and Cousins. ∗∗∗∗
Joel Embiid-Philadelphia 76ers (6,200): Embiid has been outstanding when he has been on the floor despite continuing to play under a tight minutes restrictuion. He had 22-9-4 with three blocks for 41.8 fantasy points on Sunday against Clevleand and has at least 30 fantasy points in each of his last four games with over 35 in three of those contests. When his minutes restriction gets removed, he’ll be a must-play every time he takes the floor, but he is a little risky still since he’s only on the floor for 20-25 minutes. ∗∗
