Building The Perfect NBA Fan Duel Lineup For Nov. 22

Building the perfect NBA Fan Duel lineup is a difficult chore, so we hope this helps you out. Keep in mind that the NBA can be tricky on DFS sites, considering there are many "game-time decisions" and random days off to worry about. Always double-check to ensure all these players are scheduled to play as expected.

Anytime you can get a starter, especially a point guard, at $ 5,500 or cheaper it is probably worth the risk, particularly in GPP formats. Mo Williams should log a decent amount of time considering Ricky Rubio is still out and he has a cupcake matchup in the Sacremento Kings, who are among the teams you should pick on and play PGs against when possible.

(PG) Goran Dragic - Phoenix Suns - $6,900

The Phoenix Suns are off to a respectable start in 2014 and although the presence of Isaiah Thomas on the team does cut into his fantasy production, Goran Dragic is still averaging 24 fantasy PPG and is consistent. Their opponent, the Indiana Pacers, have not given up despite being ravaged by injuries, but they are no longer a team one should stay away from -- even at home.

(SG) James Harden - Houston Rockets - $10,000

James Harden might be the expensive option at SG on this slate, but he also averages essentially 10 fantasy PPG more (42) than anyone else at the position available. And he has a great matchup against the never-known-for-his-defense Monta Ellis of the Dallas Mavericks.

(SG) Danny Green - San Antonio Spurs - $4,400

Danny Green falls into the formula I mentioned earlier with Mo Williams. While Green splits minutes with Manu Ginobli and others in the San Antonio Spurs backcourt, he starts, will see his share of minutes and is very cheap.

The Brooklyn Nets could get destroyed playing the Spurs in San Antonio. Also, Bojan Bogdanovic scares no one on defense.

Trevor Ariza replaced Chandler Parsons at SF for the Houston Rockets and Parsons will make his return to Houston for the first time this season. I expect this to be an exciting matchup as each player tries to prove the Rockets made the wrong/correct decision.

Andrew Wiggins will start at home in Minnesota against the Sacremento Kings, who have been solid thus far into the season, but let's not mistake them for an incredibly dangerous road team quite yet.

With Minnesota playing down a forward due to Thad Young's injury, Wiggins and Anthony Bennett get the chance to prove they were worth bringing into Minnesota this past offseason.

(PF) Kevin Love - Cleveland Cavaliers - $8,500

The Cleveland Cavaliers' offense has hardly clicked on even half-cylinders this season and Kevin Love is still averaging 33 fantasy PPG because he will always dominate the glass getting rebounds. And don't forget about his enigmatic skill for outlet passing, which helps him in the assist department.

Each game, the Cavs will find more and more ways to get him involved in the post instead of spotting up for shots on the perimeter.

(PF) Carmelo Anthony - New York Knicks - $8,800

Carmelo Anthony is averaging 35 fantasy PPG thus far this season and has the best matchup a PF could have for fantasy purposes against the Philadelphia 76ers in Madison Square Garden.

This could easily end up as one of Anthony's 50-plus FPPG outings, and for $ 8,800 instead of the $ 10,000 price he will be later this season, Melo is a bargain.

(C) Anderson Varejao - Cleveland Cavaliers - $4,900

If I was going to spend at center it would have been Nikola Vucevic of the Orlando Magic, but otherwise I believe going cheap at center is the best bet -- insert the Cleveland Cavaliers' Anderson Varejao.

Varejao is averaging nearly 22 fantasy PPG, but every once in a while he has a ridiculous 20-rebound game. At home, against the Toronto Raptors and Jonas Valanciunas, I firmly believe this could be one of those instances.
