Building The Perfect NBA Fan Duel Lineup For Nov. 21

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.

John Wall is unstoppable at home and Cleveland Cavaliers' PG Kyrie Irving is not exactly a defensive juggernaut. Albeit expensive, Wall is undoubtedly a must play in this slate of games.

Vegas expects this to be a high scoring game, as depending where you look you will see an O/U of around 205.

The Milwaukee Bucks are better this year under the new Jason Kidd led regime, but let's be honest, it's far too early in the season to consider this unit a consistent threat to pick off many road games. Kyle Lowry is averaging just over 33 fantasy points per game on Fan Duel, but expecting him to exceed 40 is a fair assumption considering the Toronto Raptors should blow Milwaukee out.

Lowry and DeMar DeRozan were last season -- and will be this season -- one of the top scoring PG-SG combos in the NBA. Anytime the Toronto Raptors have an enticing matchup, it's worth considering stacking the two in your lineup. The duo averages a combined 66 fantasy points per game and I'd expect them to combine for closer to 80 against Milwaukee.

Nick "Swaggy P" Young has been a bit of a spark plug for the Los Angeles Lakers since returning from injury, and let's be real, this Lakers team is desperate for anyone who can do anything fairly well.

Young can score, and he will continue to see adequate minutes for fantasy purposes going forward. At $ 5,300 he's a steal considering he's averaging 24 fantasy PPG, two more than Victor Oladipo, who is $ 6,800. The value is there.

With Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, the soda vendor and the team doctor out with injuries for the Oklahoma City Thunder, somebody has to step up and score the ball.

While Jeremy Lamb still lacks consistency, he is averaging 23 fantasy PPG, and the Brooklyn Nets' defense should intimidate no one on the road.

Chandler Parsons will likely be guarded by the aforementioned Young in this Los Angeles vs. Dallas contest, and there is nothing better in fantasy sports than choosing a player who is opposed by an awful team -- and in particular, an awful team on the road.

Parsons' 24.9 fantasy PPG average will increase as he continues to get acclimated to his new team, and the Lakers are a prime opponent for him to obliterate value with a big game.

(PF) Amir Johnson, Toronto Raptors, $5,200

Amir Johnson is essentially Carlos Boozer in fantasy basketball, but priced fairly. He isn't going to overwhelm, but will rack up 20+ fantasy points as a floor. In this matchup against the Bucs, 30+ isn't out of the question.

Anything more than 25 should be adequate for Johnson considering what his bargain price ($ 5,200) allowed me to do with this lineup at point guard.

(PF) Taj Gibson, Chicago Bulls, $5,900

Taj Gibson is a fairly safe play when Pau Gasol is healthy. He's an even smarter choice when he is out, which Gasol very well should be again on Friday against the Portland Trailblazers. Gibson plays with the physicality to somewhat keep up with LaMarcus Aldridge, so don't put too much stock into that matchup.

Anthony Davis, as amazing as he is, was just too hard to get into a PF spot at $ 11,800. I only spent $ 11,100 on my two PF's combined.

Andrew Bogut vs. the Utah Jazz's Enes Kanter will undoubtedly be the goofiest looking matchup on this schedule, and all jokes aside, this contest won't be close. Bogut continues to board and block shots, but under new HC Steve Kerr, he also gets a few more opportunities to score the ball than he had in the past. Bogut has the potential to be the value play of the day.
