FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 11/20/22 Most Sunday slates tend to be slow, but we have a big one here. We have eight games in total and many superstars taking the floor. We also have a few that are missing out, and we're going to capitalize on some of those absences here. The injury reports in Miami, Memphis, and Denver are ridiculous right now, but we'll use those fill-ins to fill our lineups.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $8000 DK - $7500 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 41.08 DK - 42.45 We usually wouldn't use Lowry in this price range, but you simply can't fade him right now. Miami's training room is full of stud players, with Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Tyler Herro all expected to miss this game. That's pretty much all of the team's offense and usage out of the lineup, forcing Lowry into a primary playmaking role. In that expanded role on Friday, Kyle collected 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 15 assists en route to 64 DraftKings points. That's one of the best games of his career, but it's no surprise since he's expected to see 40 minutes, 20 shots, and a 30 percent usage rate. Tyus Jones FD - $5900 DK - $5200 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 32.1 DK - 32.7 The injury bug bit the NBA hard on Friday night, with Tyrese Haliburton, Ja Morant, and Tyrese Maxey all suffering ankle injuries. The Morant absence is the one that matters for Jones, forcing him into the starting point guard job. He's not the only one missing, though, with Jaren Jackson Jr and Desmond Bane sitting as well. That should put Jones in line for a monster game, averaging 38 DK points per game in his two starts this year. That's the guy we saw throughout most of last season, posting a 30-point average in his 23 starts. That's an amazing total from a sub-$6K player, and we truly believe that 30-point average will be his floor in this spot. De'Aaron Fox (FD $9600 DK $9600) has at least 36 DK points in every game he's finished and should destroy a 29th-ranked Detroit defense. Shooting Guard Max...

Guards Tyrese Haliburton FD - $8900 DK - $9000 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 43.89 DK - 44.71 Haliburton checks all the boxes for me tonight which has him right there with Damian Lillard as top guard in our projections. I lean slightly towards Haliburton as he comes cheaper, and especially on DraftKings where his best value lies as he has tallied the double-double bonus in eight of 13 games. He is also averaging a double-double on the season with 20.6 points and 10.4 assists which has helped him to also tally 40 or more DK points in 12 of 13 games and 45 or more in eight of those. Both teams are on a back-to-back and rank outside the Top 20 in defensive efficiency so I am expecting a high-scoring game where Haliburton can easily hit his floor projection and tap into the upside as well. Jalen Suggs FD - $6200 DK - $5900 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 29.16 DK - 29.85 Since entering the starting lineup back in early November Suggs has been consistent when looking at his averages(13.7 reb/4.0 reb/6.3 ast) but the standard deviation is much higher than say, Haliburton. He can give you 20 points or 50 on any given night and I kind of like taking those shots with a player in the mid-range. This is also a pace-up matchup for the Magic as the Pacers run the league's second-fastest pace and rank 23rd in fantasy points to guards. I will personally have exposure to Suggs in all formats tonight. Shake Milton FD - $3600 DK - $3100 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 18.09 DK - 19.66 This is a situation we will have to monitor leading up to lock but the 76ers are already short at guard with James Harden out and unfortunately also lost Tyrese Maxey to a foot injury last night. With him getting an MRI today, he is unlikely to play and that will open up some minutes and opportunities. Shake took over last night playing 31 minutes and putting up 15 points, six assists, and three rebounds for 28 fantasy points. That return is fully in play here should he get the start tonight which would easily make him one of our top PTS.$ value plays on the slate. Small Forward Keldon Johnson...

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander plus the Nuggets without their stars highlight the DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Picks - Friday, November 18, 2022 Head on over for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, NFL optimal lineups, and our NHL Optimizer. Plus our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10800 DK - $9900Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 52.94 DK - 54.46 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is just on another level right now. He’s scored 30+ points in seven of his last nine games and for the time being is a 50/40/90 guy, about as efficient as it gets. SGA is one, and really the main reason OKC could have some “trouble” tanking this season. He’s just been too good. Now he’ll face off against the Grizzlies in a game that has the second-highest implied total of the day. This game should be a high-scoring affair and for the month of November, SGA is averaging 33 points, 5.3 assists, 4.2 assists, and a crazy 3.3 blocks+steals. It’s the full package and he’s coming too cheap on DraftKings. Ja Morant FD - $10100 DK - $10500Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 53.85 DK - 58.12 Ja Morant somehow seems to be taking yet another leap this season following the massive one he took last year. It’s really something and the fourth-year superstar is putting up some eye-popping numbers. He’s averaging 29.3 points per game and has been shooting 40% from behind the arc, the last piece of the puzzle in making him basically an unstoppable offensive talent. He’s also piled on the assists and in this game will play a Thunder team running the 4th-fastest pace in the league. Stacking SGA and Ja where possible should have a very high floor even at their upper-tier prices. Bones Hyland FD - $5800 DK - $5000Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 35.58 DK - 40.13 The Nuggets are coming in pretty shorthanded for this game with Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray already ruled out. That’s going to leave some bench guys to pick up the slack and Bones Hyland is in a tremendous spot. He’s slated to get the start at point guard and is a candidate to lead the team in usage here against the Mavericks. Even in somewhat limited run (25 minutes per game) over the last four, he’s averaging 14 shots and putting up 19 points,...

Guards Jaden Ivey FD - $6800 DK - $6900 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 32.1 DK - 34.54 Let's start off this small slate with a mid-range value in Jaden Ivey, who has consistently outperformed his price over the short term. Some of it has to do with the near 8% uptick in usage with Cade Cunningham out of the lineup the last three games but he was playing terrific even with him in the lineup. Over the previous five games(2 with Cunningham, 3 without), Ivey has averaged just over 18 points with 6.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and tallied 35 or more fantasy points in four of those games while averaging 38 across all five. The matchup isn't ideal but considering he checks the price and opportunity boxes, I am on board in all formats. John Wall FD - $6000 DK - $5700 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 31.62 DK - 33.45 On the other side of this game, we have more opportunity plays as Kawhi remains out, Luke Kennard is doubtful, and Paul Geroge is now highly questionable after picking up an injury last game. This has many projecting John Wall to get his first start of the season which would be welcomed with the lack of overall value on this small slate. The only downside here is that the price has been on the rise for over a week as Wall has been playing terrific off the bench with double-digit shots in five straight while averaging 13.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game equating to just under 30 fantasy points per game. At these prices, I love that as a floor and if he starts I would say the ceiling allows us to also play him in GPP formats, as well. De'Aaron Fox FD - $9600 DK - $9000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 47.46 DK - 50.37 Being able to pay up for multiple top plays tonight is going to be largely dependent on the amount of value that pops up but Fox is at the top of that list. The Kings get arguably the best matchup on the board at home as seven-point favorites against a Spurs team that runs a Top 5 pace, ranks 29th in defensive efficiency, and 28th in fantasy points to guards. For Fox, he...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12500 DK - $12700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 61.84 DK - 62.91 If you want a guaranteed 60 fantasy points in your lineup, pick Luka. This dude is leading the NBA with 64 DraftKings points per game, scoring at least 52 fantasy points in all but one game this year. That's no surprise when looking at his role, leading the league with a 38 percent usage rate. He's going to play 35-40 minutes, take 20-25 shots and handle the ball on every possession. That makes him impossible to fade against Houston, who rank 28th in points allowed and 29th in defensive efficiency. They're also surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing PGs, which was on full display when Doncic dropped 60-plus fantasy points in both of their meetings last season. Jamal Murray FD - $6400 DK - $6500 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 32.3 DK - 33.41 Doncic is the best pure points play on the board, but Murray is our favorite per-dollar play out there. The Nuggets lost Nikola Jokic to dreaded COVID protocols, and it will force the rest of this offense to step up. Murray is the primary benefactor, leading the team with a 39 percent usage rate when Joker is laughing it up on the bench. The simple fact is, Denver needs to make up 35 minutes, 15-20 shots, and primary ball-handling duties in addition to Jokic's 30-point triple-double averages. Murray should do most of that, which is impressive since he's scored at least 32 DraftKings points in six of his last seven games. We also don't mind that the Knicks own a 25th OPRK against opposing point guards, either. Monte Morris (FD $5300 DK $5200) has at least 28 DK points in B2B games and shouldn't be this cheap as Washington's starting point guard. Shooting Guard Darius Garland FD - $7800 DK - $9000 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 43.82 DK - 45.64 It's about time that these sites raised Garland's price tag. This guy is stepping into All-Star territory, and he's only going to get better at the age of 22. The young...
