Here is a look at the Squad Up daily NBA fantasy picture for Friday, November 18:

Dynamic Duos

• SF Justin Anderson (37K) & PG Seth Curry (34K), Mavericks (vs. Grizzlies): The Dallas backcourt has been ravaged by injuries of late. PGs Deron Williams and Devin Harris are unlikely to play Friday, while PG J.J. Barea recently suffered a tear in his calf. In their place, Curry and Anderson will assume massive workloads. They're a bargain combo likely to return value now and in the future.

• SF Paul George (79K) & SF C.J. Miles (49K), Pacers (vs. Suns): The Pacers-Suns game has a projected total of 218.5. Finding exposure to either side is a must. George is already a reliable contributor, whose upside only increases in this matchup. Miles can expose a Suns team sitting 28th in opponent 3-point percentage.

• SG Avery Bradley (70K) & PG Marcus Smart (60K), Celtics (vs. Warriors): Predicting the rotation in Boston can be tedious, especially with C Al Horford soon returning to the frontcourt. The roles of Bradley and Smart, however, remain stable. Both are averaging over 33 minutes per game and should excel in a matchup built for fantasy production.

Bargain Plays

• PG Seth Curry (34K), Mavericks (vs. Grizzlies): Curry's salary hasn't adjusted to the new role he's going to take on with Barea sidelined. The sous-chef of the family has played at least 30 minutes in four straight contests and has to be rostered at his salary. Curry has averaged 12 points, five assists, and 3.5 boards in those past four outings.

• SG Brandon Knight (35K), Suns (at Pacers): Knight has started the season in a total funk, averaging just 12.8 points on 37.7 percent shooting. Luckily, he enters this cushy matchup coming off the best game of his season. Despite a bench role, he has maintained a usage of 26.2 percent, plenty good enough for high-end production.

• PF Jon Leuer (43K), Pistons (at Cavaliers): Leuer is working on a career year with the Pistons, averaging 10.7 points and 6.9 rebounds through 12 games. He's been remarkably consistent as well, returning cash game value in seven of his last eight games. He usually falls shy of a double-double, but a line 15 points and five boards will suffice at his economical salary.

Top Fades

• PG Tim Frazier (64K), Pelicans (vs. Trail Blazers): Jrue Holiday is likely to make his season debut Friday. He will surely cut into Frazier's minutes and usage. The fill-in point guard's production has already waned over his past three, as Frazier's averaged just six points and 6.3 assists over that period. His days of fantasy relevancy are numbered, if not already over.

• PF DeMarcus Cousins (87K), Kings (vs. Clippers): Cousins is dominating once again this year, averaging 26.6 points and 9.3 rebounds. Unfortunately, the Clippers pose an especially difficult matchup. L.A. sits first in defensive efficiency, ninth in defensive rebound rate, and big man DeAndre Jordan ranks fifth in overall player defensive rating.

• PG Kemba Walker (81K), Hornets (vs. Hawks): Walker can score with the best of the league's guards, but it isn't going to happen against the Hawks. Atlanta sits right below the Clippers in defensive efficiency, and four of their players sit in the top-14 of defensive rating. Fade the prolific scorer in this difficult matchup.

Contrarian Options

• SG Vince Carter (46K), Grizzlies (at Mavericks): A 39-year-old bench player should rarely be rostered. Unless the player in question is Vinsanity. He is averaging 17.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in his past four games. Despite his age, Carter is also managing to play 27 minutes per game. His career is not over ladies and gentlemen.

• C Tyson Chandler (45K), Suns (at Pacers): Chandler had recently been away from the Suns to deal with a personal matter. He returned Wednesday to play 21 minutes against Denver. With a game under his belt, Chandler could return to his season average of 27 minutes and bring double-double potential. Indiana has a less than stellar interior presence and overall defensive game.

• PF Kenneth Faried (50K), Nuggets (vs. Raptors): Faried has averaged a whopping 19 points and 14.5 rebounds in his past two games. The production has come despite averaging just 24 minutes this season. Daily fantasy players should roll out Faried immediately as other competitors will soon look past his limited minutes if he continues to play like this.
