FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – November 5, 2017
There are eight games on the FanDuel main slate on Sunday, starting with two games at 6 p.m. Eastern featuring the Celtics at the Magic and the Wizards at the Raptors. An hour later, the Jazz tip at the Rockets and the Suns at the Spurs. At 7:30 p.m., the Pacers are at the Knicks, followed 30 minutes later by the Hornets at the Timberwolves.
The late games are the Thunder at the Trail Blazers at 9:00 p.m., followed by the Grizzlies at the Lakers 30 minutes later.
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.
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 usage 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 or you can follow my account @ProfessorDrz or find me on my home turf of The Hoops Lab.
Let’s take a look at your best options for both studs and value players at each position.
