FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – November 1, 2017
Wednesday night is packed to the gills with games — 12 of them overall. The action starts with four 7:00 p.m. ET games, including the Pacers at the Cavaliers, the Bucks at the Hornets, the Hawks at the 76ers and the Suns at the Wizards. Thirty minutes later, the Bulls tip at the Heat and the Kings tip at the Celtics. At 8:00 p.m. ET, three more games tip: the Timberwolves at the Pelicans, the Rockets at the Knicks and the Magic at the Grizzlies. The Trail Blazers are at the Jazz and the Raptors are at the Nuggets at 9:00 p.m. ET and the nightcap is the Mavericks at the Clippers at 10:30 p.m. ET.
My favorite plays of the day can be found on the following slides in FanSided’s FanDuel daily picks. Each day, in order to offer a variety of price points at each position, you can find two slides for each position — one for high-salary options and one for high-value options. Each pick is ranked on a scale of 1-5 stars to indicate the confidence in the pick. The final slide of this post has more detail on what each level means, but in short, more stars means more confidence in the selection on a points-per-dollar basis.
Important note: The goal of this post is not to give you a copy-and-paste lineup. Instead, each selection is given while highlighting the factors you need to consider when building a customized lineup for yourself. If you want to see an example lineup, you can find it on the final slide of the post, but I suggest you adjust your lineup to fit your personal taste.
To keep up with all of FanSided’s DFS NBA coverage head over to the fantasy basketball hub where each day you can find a post like this tailored for FanDuel as well as one specifically designed for use on DraftKings.
In this post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to FanDuel’s scoring system and salaries. If you have any additional questions or thoughts or are looking for updates as we approach tipoff, follow @FanSidedFantasy on Twitter.
Let’s take a look at your best options for both studs and value players at each position.
