Fantasy Basketball Value Picks: Top DraftKings NBA DFS Bargain Plays for Sunday 11/30/25

Boston Celtics DraftKings Fantasy Advice DFS NBA Rail

DraftKings’ main NBA DFS slate for Sunday starts at 6:00 PM EST and features the first five games of the night. DraftKings continues to offer huge contests for DFS players and below, I dive into three of my favorite bargain plays for this slate.

Set your DraftKings fantasy basketball lineups here: NBA $120K Fadeaway [$30K to 1st]

PG/SG, Anfernee Simons, Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers, $4,600

For the first time this season, the Celtics will be without Derrick White (calf) tonight. Additionally, Neemias Queta (injury management) has been ruled out. While Boston is likely to start Sam Hauser in place of White and continue to bring Simons off the bench, the latter should see increased playing time with the Celtics down two starters, likely in the 25-30 minute range.

This season, Simons is scoring 0.9 FPTS per minute with a 23.1% usage rate, and he is amassing 28 FPTS per game in the nine games he has logged over 20 minutes. The Cavaliers aren’t an ideal matchup, ranking eighth in defensive rating this season, but Simons brings excellent upside relative to his salary and he could get overlooked given his inconsistent game log.

PF, Josh Minott, Boston Celtics at Cleveland Cavaliers, $3,400

Continuing with the understaffed Celtics, Minott is an awesome punt play with Queta sidelined. With the center out this past Wednesday vs. the Pistons, Minott posted 22.2 FPTS in 19 minutes off the bench. The veteran will see more work as a small ball center with Queta missing and with White also sidelined, Minott should receive 20-25 minutes off the bench, giving him plenty of time to outperform this near-minimum price tag.

This season, Minott is scoring 1.0 FPTS per minute and he is averaging 28.5 FPTS per game for the six occasions he has cracked the 20-minute mark.

PF/C, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks, $4,300

The Raptors will be without both RJ Barrett (knee) and Jakob Poeltl (rest) tonight, opening up some extra playing time and usage for Mamukelashvili. The forward should see 25-30 minutes with Barrett and Poeltl inactive, and with these two off the floor this season, Mamukelashvili is scoring 1.1 FPTS per minute with a 20.9% usage rate.

The Knicks only rank 14th in defensive rating this season and they continue to be without their top defender in OG Anunoby (hamstring), so this is a solid matchup for Mamukelashvili and he should effortlessly exceed five-times value in this spot.
