NBA DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks 11/12/19

Point Guard

Ricky Rubio ($7,700) vs Lakers– A lot of people didn’t like the Ricky Rubio signing in the offseason but he has been quieting the haters so far this season. In the last 4 games Rubio is averaging 16.3 PPG 8.5 APG and 6.8 RPG leading the Suns to a great record and have people thinking if they can legitimately be a playoff team. The offense has been clicking on all cylinders, even without Deandre Ayton in the lineup. The Lakers have been a middle tier defense so far this season and until I see signs of the Suns offense slowing down I have no problem rostering Rubio at this price with his playmaking ability.

Shooting Guard

Luke Kennard ($6,000) vs Heat– Kennard has been on fire shooting the ball and he has been better than expected in different aspects of the game because for a while he had been regarded as just a shooter. He has scored 29 PTS and 25 PTS in his last two games and in the last 3 he is averaging 7.3 RPG and 4.6 APG. He has been getting shots up in bunches and I wouldn’t expect Blake Griffin to be in the lineup for tonight’s back-to-back so more shots should be available. The Heat have a very good defense but I like the volume that we could see from Kennard tonight.

Small Forward

Tomas Satoransky ($5,400) vs Knicks– We have Satoransky at the SF position but he runs the point a lot of the time for the young Bulls team. He has shown flashes of his ability if he can score but he can always be trusted as a playmaker. In the last 5 games he is averaging 28.3 FPTS per game while shooting 56% from the field. Don’t expect him to come out and score 20 points but if he gets into double digits with his other abilities he can be a productive DFS option. Satoransky is a good high floor option at this price tonight.

Power Forward

Domontas Sabonis ($8,400) vs Thunder- Sabonis has been a dominant post threat for the Pacers this season especially with Myles Turner banged up, but even when they are on the floor together he has been effective. Coming into tonight’s game Sabonis is putting up 17.3 PPG 16.0 RPG and 6.0 APG in his last 4 games. He came off the bench for most of last year and was a double-double threat and this year as a starter he hasn’t slowed down grabbing the boards. The Thunder are giving up the 3^rd most fantasy points to opposing big men this season and with a guy like Sabonis who is a former OKC player I think he is going to show up in a big way tonight.

Center

Aron Baynes ($6,000) vs Lakers– Aron Baynes has been electric after he was moved to the starting lineup after the suspension of starting center Deandre Ayton. He has put up 18 PPG and 5 RPG while shooting 60% from the field and 52.6% from 3 over the last 4 games. He has been playing slightly above 25 minutes a night and with his physicality he can be a useful asset tonight at this price. He is playing extremely well at the moment and I am willing to ride the wave in a matchup vs the Lakers tonight.

Sleeper Play

Trey Burke ($3,800) vs Cavaliers– Trey Burke has found himself playing almost 20 minutes in the two games since Ben Simmons went down with a shoulder injury. In the last one he was great scoring 12 PTS with 5 REB 4 AST and 2 STLs while shooting 50% from the field. Burke has shown flashes in past seasons at the guard position and getting a guy like him at this price is a steal in my opinion. I think the more he plays he will get comfortable in produce in this spot vs a mediocre Cavaliers defensive unit.
