NBA DFS: Top DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy basketball picks for Sunday, Nov. 12 include Zion Williamson

The Sunday NBA schedule promises a plethora of exciting matchups, offering ample opportunities for success in NBA DFS tournaments, cash games, and 50-50s on platforms like FanDuel and DraftKings. As the action unfolds, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic remains a red-hot standout, boasting impressive averages of 29.1 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 8.0 assists for the defending world champions. Jokic and the Nuggets are set to face the formidable Houston Rockets, making the two-time MVP a popular choice for NBA DFS lineups.

However, with the Rockets ranking fourth in points allowed per game (106.0) and seventh in defensive rating (108.4), savvy DFS players may explore alternative options in the player pool. The busy day in the NBA necessitates finding value plays to afford stars such as Jokic, Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Stephen Curry.
