ARIEL EPSTEIN: Welcome to Yahoo Sports Daily Fantasy in the NBA. I'm Ariel Epstein. Let's dive into tonight's slate for November 19. Starting with the star of the Toronto Raptors, their leading scorer, for $30, Fred VanVleet. The shooting guard is up against the Sacramento Kings, and the Kings have the sixth-worst defense in the NBA. Nonetheless, Sacramento is ranked 23rd in points allowed to guards this year. Speaking of a player that has dominated the Kings, it was VanVleet last season. Last year, he was averaging 30 points per game against the Kings in the two games he played. Take VanVleet in your lineup tonight for $30.
My value play tonight, for $18, Bucks shooting guard Grayson Allen. He's up against Oklahoma City, who allows the second-most 3-pointers to their opponents. Allen is actually the leading shooter for Milwaukee this year. When up against a team that's bottom 10 against the 3, Allen's averaging just over 15 points per game. It's great value. Add Grayson Allen to your lineup.
My fade play tonight, for $42, do not play the Lakers' star, LeBron James. If, in fact, he does come back off injury, don't get all excited about it. Last year, in the two games that LeBron came off of a long stretch of time from injury, he scored 16 and 24 points. Although it may be enticing, facing Boston, LeBron, offensively, just the timing may be off. He may not be playing as many minutes as he's used to. Do not play LeBron James for $42 tonight.
Here's your Yahoo Sports NBA fantasy recap. For $30, play Fred VanVleet. Also, put Grayson Allen in your lineup. The fade, do not get excited about LeBron James back in action tonight. Fade him.
Those are two plays and a fade tonight for NBA daily fantasy. I'm Ariel Epstein. Good luck with your lineup.
