We have a 10 game slate to work with on the final Wednesday of November. There are plenty of injury situations worth monitoring as the day unfolds, as this could play a big role in the direction you take in regards to lineup construction. Let’s look at a tournament lineup for FanDuel tonight.

Point Guard
Russell Westbrook (OKC): $11,000 @ ORL
Westbrook draws a plus individual matchup and with a bump in pace on deck, he represents one of the top overall plays of the evening. Over his last four games, Westbrook has logged two triple-doubles, while nearly recording one in the other two. He’s scored at least 54.9 FDP over that span and he should continue to produce at an elite level in a good overall expected game environment.
Tomas Satoransky (WAS): $3,500 @ PHI
It was Satoransky, not Tim Frazier, who logged more time at point guard last night. Even if it holds up as more of an even split, you have to like Satoransky’s low salary and the salary relief it provides. The Sixers represent a decent boost in terms of pace for the Wizards and I don’t mind punting the position with Satoransky with the hopes that he can see 22-25 minutes.

Other Notables:
Shooting Guard
Wesley Matthews (DAL): $5,000 vs. BKN
Matthews is very dependent on scoring for his fantasy value, but his price coupled with a fantastic matchup puts him squarely in play tonight. He needs around 25 FDP to hit value tonight and with him being a good bet for 30+ minutes, he should be able to pay off his modest salary.
Caris LeVert (BKN): $4,800 @ DAL
With Allen Crabbe likely out tonight, LeVert could see an increased role tonight. The matchup isn’t exactly the best, but the salary relief is meaningful in roster construction tonight. LeVert is averaging right at 0.80 FDP/min on the season, so if we can get him around 28-30 minutes of playing time, he should be able to hit value.
Other Notables:
Small Forward
DeMarre Carroll (BKN): $5,800 @ DAL
Carroll is expected back in the lineup tonight and he could be looking at a heavy workload for the Nets. With Allen Crabbe and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson both doubtful to play, Carroll should be a good bet to see plenty of run. This is a downgrade in terms of pace, but the expected workload offsets any matchup concerns.
Bojan Bogdanovic (IND): $4,500 @ HOU
Victor Oladipo is questionable to play tonight after aggravating his knee Monday night, which could open up a few extra looks tonight for a few Indiana players. Regardless of Oladipo’s status, I think Bogdanovic is a fine source of salary relief in a game that should feature plenty of scoring.
Other Notables:
Power Forward
Aaron Gordon (ORL): $7,700 vs. OKC
Gordon has scored at least 38 FDP in two straight and three out of his last four games, and I like him to continue his recent success tonight at home. While his price is a bit expensive, the matchup is a good one and this helps to offset some concerns over the high salary.
Tobias Harris (DET): $6,700 vs. PHO
This is a big boost in pace for the Pistons and the matchup is also a good one as well. The Suns rank 29th in team defensive efficiency and they are always a good squad to pick on as a result. Harris and the Pistons are coming off of a big win against the Celtics in which the forward scored 40.6 FDP and I look for them to carry that momentum back home tonight.
Other Notables:
Center
DeMarcus Cousins (NO): $10,900 vs. MIN
Karl-Anthony Towns is a poor defender and this should open the door for a monster outing from Cousins as a result. While he’s cooled off from his torrid start to the season as of late, Cousins still possesses big upside and he should be targeted across all formats this evening given the great matchup.
