NBA DFS Picks for Nov. 14: Core Plays and Value Targets
On November 14, 2025, FantasyPros.com offers detailed picks and advice for the NBA Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) lineup for that day. The focus is on nine games, though DraftKings only offers an eight-game main slate while FanDuel includes all nine.
Luka Dončić: A Core Play with High Price Tag
At a cost of $12,000 on DraftKings and $12,600 on FanDuel, Luka Dončić is a top choice for any NBA DFS stack. Despite his high price, he consistently delivers 65.2 fantasy points per game. A matchup against the Pelicans, ranked 18th in opponent strength, makes the Lakers stack an attractive option.
While Dončić’s last game saw him struggle with a season-low 19 points and seven rebounds, making just 7-of-20 shots from the field, he is likely to return to his usual form. The Pelicans’ poor defense allows for high fantasy scoring potential, especially if Dončić gets angry after such a disappointing performance.
Egor Dёmin: A Rookie with Favorable Matchup
The 19-year-old rookie from BYU is another strong option at $4,400 on DraftKings and $4,100 on FanDuel. Dёmin has averaged 13 points in back-to-back games, including a career-high 16 points with five assists, four rebounds, and four 3-pointers against Toronto last Tuesday.
Facing the Orlando Magic, ranked 28th in opponent strength, Dёmin’s fantasy points are likely to continue climbing. He has already shown the ability to score efficiently from beyond the arc and is expected to maintain his current pace of performance.
Other Notable Picks and Targets
In addition to Luka Dončić and Egor Dёmin, FantasyPros.com recommends several other players based on their matchups and recent performances. These include Alperen Sengun against the Portland Trail Blazers, Karl-Anthony Towns with Bam Adebayo out of action, Franz Wagner due to Paolo Banchero’s injury, Julius Randle facing a middle-ranked defense from Sacramento, Austin Reaves in a favorable matchup against New Orleans, and Duncan Robinson with an excellent shooting performance last game.
For GPP (Guaranteed Prize Pool) targets, Kon Knueppel offers significant upside as a 20-year-old rookie who has been performing well. Meanwhile, Terance Mann provides value despite Cam Thomas being sidelined again, while Tristan da Silva is expected to perform against the struggling Clippers defense.
These picks are based on detailed analysis of players’ recent performance and upcoming matchups, aiming to maximize fantasy points in both cash game and GPP settings.
