Building The Perfect NBA FanDuel Lineup For Nov. 26

It's Big Wednesday and tonight's huge slate is 13 games. There are many ways that a player can go about constructing their lineup. Some may go with a "Stars and Scrubs" approach to where they pay top dollar for elite players, then sprinkle in much cheaper players. This approach may have fallen short last night, but today is a new day and it's perfectly suited to go with a more balanced approach to building the perfect FanDuel lineup for Nov. 26.

Damian Lillard has been playing well over his past 10 games and, despite his numbers being a bit down over his last two games, he has an extremely favorable matchup tonight. He gets to face the Charlotte Hornets, and their defense against PGs has them ranked next to last in the league. This bodes extremely well for Lillard to put up the 42.5 fantasy points that he will need to justify his price tag. Don't be surprised if he ends up with 50-plus.

(PG) Tony Wroten - Philadelphia 76ers - $6800

Even though Tony Wroten is listed at the PG, he's actually the starting SG for the 76ers and this is a great matchup for him. The Brooklyn Nets are ranked dead last when it comes to guarding the SG position, and despite his turnover-prone ways, he should have no issues having his way with Joe Johnson guarding him. Wroten needs 34 fantasy points to justify his $ 6800 price and that is well within the range of his ability.

The Toronto Raptors get to face the Atlanta Hawks tonight, and this is an excellent situation for Toronto SGs. While most would automatically assume that DeMar DeRozan would be the choice here, he hasn't been paying off his $ 7700 salary lately. However, for $ 3000 less, Sweet Lou has exceeded the 23.5 fantasy points he needs to justify his price over his last three games and remains one of the hottest players in the NBA right now.

Even though Victor Oladipo plays PG a lot for Orlando, he's still technically a SG. However, it doesn't really matter if he plays the 1 or the 2 since either situation bodes well for him against the Golden State Warriors. Over the Warriors' last 10 games, they've been ranked 14th against PGs and 29th against SGs. They're also playing in their second game of a back-to-back which should help Oladipo reach or exceed his value without any issues.

Chandler Parsons hasn't reached or exceeded his value in nine of his last 10 games. However, he has been performing much better than he was at the start of the season, and it's only a matter of time before he puts up 35-plus fantasy points. Facing a New York Knicks team that's ranked 23rd in defending SFs will help Parsons' campaign to at least score the 31 fantasy points he needs to justify what owners are paying for him.

This purely a coincidence, but players should lock in two former Florida Gators at the SF spots tonight. Brewer is actually the starting SG while rookie Andrew Wiggins is the starting SF, but Brewer provides similar upside for $ 900 less. He needs 23.5 fantasy points to reach value, and the fact that the Milwaukee Bucks have been ranked dead last in defending SGs over their last five games is a bonus. Brewer seems poised to score 30 at minimum.

(PF) Serge Ibaka - Oklahoma City Thunder - $7700

Over his last three games, Serge Ibaka has averaged 33.1 fantasy points. This is a bit under the 38.5 that he needs to justify his price, and he gets the juiciest matchup for any PF tonight against the Utah Jazz. The Jazz currently have the worst defense against PFs and now have to face Ibaka, who has been heating up lately. This game has "40-plus fantasy points" written all over it for him, and there's a decent chance for him to flirt with 50.

Z-Bo's first words as a child must have been "Double-Double," because that's what he's done his entire career including this season. In his last matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers, he was only able to muster 22 fantasy points which was definitely a disappointment. However, in his second matchup this month against the same Lakers team ranked 29th against PFs, the odds are in Randolph's favor to score at least 38.5 points to justify his price.

It took about a month for it to settle in, but Andre Drummond is starting to look more comfortable with his increased offensive workload. Over his last two games, he has scored 34.2 and 39.5 fantasy points and those outputs either justified or exceeded his price tag. Facing an L.A. Clippers team that's ranked 28th against opposing centers, this is an excellent matchup for Drummond to finally eclipse 40 fantasy points for the first time this year.
