FanDuel NBA Lineup Advice: Friday (11/22)

After a small slate of only two games last night, tonight’s main slate will feature a whopping 10-game slate with no teams operating on a back-to-back. With such a deep slate ready for tip-off, there should be plenty of highly-priced studs and value plays available. Tip-off locks at 7 p.m. EST.

Check out today’s NBA Shot from FanDuel

Point Guard

Shaquille Harrison (PG – CHI): $4,400 @ MIA
Talking about random, Harrison practically did nothing all season long and was hardly used until his last contest where he absolutely erupted for 45.7 FanDuel points. Harrison has a chance to build off that incredible performance if he remains in the starting lineup, and with that performance, he absolutely should. The matchup isn’t a good one as the Miami Heat rank 3^rd in defensive rating and 15^th in pace, but his price is so low that it shouldn’t be very tough for him to return value.

Terry Rozier (PG – CHA): $7,100 @ WAS
So far, the highest implied total of the night goes to the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards, which is why I stacked up on this contest. Rozier has not played well recently, so I suggest you proceed with caution, but the matchup is good enough to seriously consider playing him and a lot of his teammates. The Wizards are ranked 29^th in defensive rating and 5^th in pace, presenting a dream matchup for a guy who’s shot under 40% in his past three contests.

Shooting Guard

Spencer Dinwiddie (SG – BKN): $7,500 @ SAC
As long as Kyrie Irving remains out, Dinwiddie becomes a great play and he’s proven that over his past three contests as all have netted over 36 FanDuel points. Both his minutes and usage have jumped with the absence of Irving, which comes as no surprise. The Sacramento Kings are ranked 20^th in defensive rating and 27^th in pace, though the Brooklyn Nets rank 6^th in pace.

Bradley Beal (SG – WAS): $9,800 @ CHA
One of the best pure scorers in the league, Beal has been on a tear as he’s scored over 32 real points in his past four contests. Three of his past four contests have resulted in 53+ FanDuel points and only one totaled under 40 FanDuel points (his most recent). The Hornets are ranked 23^rd in defensive rating, 23^rd in pace, and Beal lands 9^th in the league in usage rate.

Small Forward

Bojan Bogdanovic (SF – UTA): $6,300 @ GS
The Golden State Warriors are simply horrible, particularly on the defensive end. They present a prime opportunity for all opposition on any given night and are only worse with Draymond Green sidelined (he may or may not play). Bogdanovic is a sharp-shooter who doesn’t offer much else, but he has a shot to score a lot of points against the team ranked 30^th in defensive rating and 16^th in pace.

Miles Bridges (SF – CHA): $5,400 @ WAS
Bridges hasn’t performed well recently, so there is potential for him to bounce back as his minutes have at least trended upwards over the past three contests. Bridges scored 27 FanDuel points in both of his past two contests after putting up an absolute stinker against the New York Knicks. The same reason why I’d consider Rozier is why I’d look into someone like Bridges. He offers a chance at relatively cheap exposure against a terrible defensive team in the Wizards and a game that’s expected to feature a lot of scoring.

Power Forward

PJ Washington (PF – CHA): $5,400 @ WAS
The trifecta of the Hornets ends here, but Washington could actually be the best play of all three. The one issue for Washington as of recent has been major foul trouble limiting him to only 17 and 12 minutes of playing time in his two most recent contests. Prior to these past two games, Washington has played well. Tonight, he benefits from an amazing matchup against a terrible team that plays fast in the Wizards and is likely to draw a lot of defense against a fellow rookie.

Rui Hachimura (PF – WAS): $5,500 @ CHA
Generally speaking, Hachimura’s best games have come on the back of strong steal performances, which comes as no surprise as defensive stats are worth a premium on FanDuel. Hachimura can contribute in a bevy of ways, but he’s compiled his best performances when scoring points and stealing the ball (as well as rebounding). Hachimura – like Beal – benefits from a solid matchup against the Hornets, although they play a slow brand of ball.

Center

Rudy Gobert (C – UTA): $8,600 @ GS
The Warriors are truly terrible, and there isn’t really any light at the end of the tunnel in 2019 for them. Gobert is a stud play tonight with the main concern being a massive blowout that costs the Utah Jazz starters a handful of minutes at the end of the 4^th quarter, but it’s worth taking a shot as Gobert scored 52.3 FanDuel points against the Warriors just two weeks ago. Stack up against the Warriors on a nightly basis.
