Massive eleven-game slate on this fine November Friday. We cannot possibly cover all the viable fantasy options in this post, so the below players are the ones that really stand out the most with relation to their salary.
The best team spots on the board that I will build my core out of are the Timberwolves (vs. Warriors), Raptors (vs. Pelicans), and the Nets (vs. Trail Blazers). The worst spots that I want very little to do with are the Bucks (vs. Jazz), Heat (vs. Lakers), and that 76ers vs. Nuggets game. Okay, let’s get into some plays.

Kyrie Irving (PG – BRK): $9,700 @ Trail Blazers
Kyrie just continues to soak up so much usage on this Nets team. For the year, he has scored 23% of their fantasy points, taken 25% of their shots, and has recorded 32% of their assists. He is even rebounding the ball at a pretty high rate with a 12% share in that category. He has been held under 50 DraftKings points just twice in seven games, and has been over 60 twice and over 70 once. The Blazers have not been a good defensive team this year, adding 12 fantasy points to their opponent’s average. Any time the Nets are among the top projected scoring offenses and Kyrie is under $10,000 – he will be an awesome play, and that is true tonight.
