FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – November 3, 2017

There are a whopping 12 games on the NBA schedule for Friday night, putting 24 of the league’s 30 squads in play. The action starts with four 7:00 p.m. ET games, including the Bulls at the Magic, the Pacers at the 76ers, the Cavaliers at the Wizards and the Bucks at the Pistons. Two more games tip thirty minutes later, with the Rockets at the Hawks and the Suns at the Knicks. The Pelicans tip at the Mavericks and the Hornets at the Spurs at 8:30 p.m. ET, followed thirty minutes later by the Raptors at the Jazz and the Heat at the Nuggets. The penultimate game of the night features the Celtics at the Thunder at 9:30 p.m. ET, followed an hour later by the night cap of the Nets at the Lakers.

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, every day 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.
