Top star players, best value picks, and guys you should stay a way from on November 20 in NBA Daily Fantasy Sports on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Welcome to Studs, Scrubs, and Duds; FanSided’s daily fantasy NBA lineup helper.

Here’s what’s on the slate for tonight:

7 p.m. ET: New York at Philadelphia, San Antonio at Washington
7:30 p.m. ET: Milwaukee at Atlanta, Charlotte at Brooklyn, Golden State at Dallas, Cleveland at Miami, Orlando at Toronto
8 p.m. ET: Detroit at Chicago, Utah at Minnesota
9 p.m. ET: Houston at Denver
10 p.m. ET: Boston at LA Clippers

How this works:

Studs: Top high salary picks that you can build your lineup around.
Scrubs: Value players looking for a big night or consistent options to help fill out your lineup.
Duds: Players to avoid given their high salary and/or poor matchup.

Five players are picked on each slide, positions are not applicable, and both DraftKings and FanDuel salaries are listed.

Studs

Bradley Beal (vs SA – $9,500 on DK; $9,900 on FD): The Spurs aren’t bad against the position but overall they are a mess. Meanwhile, Beal is doing whatever he wants to do against any opponent in front of him. Beal should be in for another big scoring night while contributing with assists and rebounds. He should end up as a top scorer.

Luka Doncic (vs GS – $10,400 on DK; $11,500 on FD): Luka is almost a walking triple double at this point and there is no way this Warriors defense, on a back to back, will be able to stop him. Expect a monster game out of Luka in this one as he likely secures a(nother) triple double.

Jimmy Butler (vs CLE – $7,700 on DK; $9,500 on FD): Speaking of triple doubles, I won’t guarantee that Butler will get one, but I definitely believe he will be right there. A double double is nearly guaranteed and he’ll be close on the assists or rebounds to definitely make him worth your fantasy money. This is an easy matchup for Butler on Wednesday.

Jamal Murray (vs HOU – $7,500 on DK; $7,400 on FD): Murray is as boom or bust as they come. And while the Rockets defense has been good and the Nuggets offense has been disappointing, I’m playing the personal matchup in this one. Murray always does well against Westbrook and I’m going to bank on that once again.

Pascal Siakam (vs ORL – $8,800 on DK; $9,400 on FD): The Raptors are thriving as a team with the injuries and Siakam is leading the squad. The Magic do have a good defense and can make games a slog, but they are weak against the position and Siakam is the best player on the court. He won’t hurt you but definitely expect a big outing.
