Here is a look at the Squad Up daily NBA fantasy picture for Thursday, November 10:

Dynamic Duos

• SF Giannis Antetokounmpo (90K) & PF Jabari Parker (50K), Bucks (vs. Pelicans): These two Bucks forwards have a knack for setting each other up for scoring chances; Antetokounmpo averages 1.7 assists per game to Parker, and 27 percent of Parker's passes are back to the Greek Freak. Together, they combine for 38.7 points, 14.5 rebounds and eight assists per game, as well as Antetokounmpo's defensive contributions.

• PG Emmanuel Mudiay (54K) & C Jusuf Nurkic (51K), Nuggets (vs. Warriors): Mudiay has taken his game up a notch in the past two games, totaling totaled 53 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists. An up-tempo game against Golden State should continue that explosion. Nurkic compliments that potential with double-double potential.

• PG Rajon Rondo (43K) & Taj Gibson (43K), Bulls (at Heat): It may not be the flashiest duo, but Rondo and Gibson have shown an ability to contribute even when they're not shouldering the scoring load. So far this season, 23.5 percent of Rondo's passes have been to Gibson, which has accounted for 1.5 of Rondo's assists per game and 50 percent shooting from the Bulls' big.

Bargain Plays

• PG Jameer Nelson (37K), Nuggets (vs. Warriors): Expect a fast-paced and possible blowout in the Nuggets-Warriors game. Both those factors, though, work in Nelson's favor. While the veteran PG is averaging only nine points and four assists on the season, those numbers could easily jump in this matchup.

• SG Tony Snell (30K), Bucks (vs. Pelicans): Snell isn't going to pour in 20 points, but he has double-double potential against New Orleans. The Pelicans sit 29th in rebounding rate and 14th in defensive efficiency. Snell is averaging 28 minutes this season and posted 13-and-10 against the Pelicans back on November 1.

• PF Kenneth Faried (36K), Nuggets (vs. Warriors): Faried's stock is way down; he's playing just 23 minutes a night, taking the fewest shots per game of his career (and making only 41.7 percent of them). That said, he's still averaging 8.7 rebounds per game and the Warriors have struggled both on the glass and against interior scorers.

Top Fades

• PG Stephen Curry (81K), Warriors (at Nuggets): Curry is listed as questionable though appears likely to play. Even if he does, there are plenty of reasons this could be a let-down: reduced minutes because of his injury; reduced minutes because of a blowout; reduced minutes because of the thin Denver air. It's not worth the risk of a potential dud.

• SG Buddy Hield (31K) Pelicans (at Bucks): Hield's minutes are unpredictable, ranging from 14 to 31 through eight games with no discernible trend. That 14 minute game? That came in New Orleans' previous matchup with the Bucks. He's also shooting just 33.7 percent. Better to fade Hield until some patterns start to emerge.

• SF Kevin Durant (84K), Warriors (at Nuggets): Durant cements his fantasy value via 3-pointer shooting and rebounding. Both of which are areas that the Denver defense has excelled in to start the year. The Nuggets rank first in overall rebounding rate and have limited opponents to shooting just 30.4 percent from 3-point land.

Contrarian Options

• E'Twuan Moore (37K), Pelicans (at Bucks): Career averages of six points and 1.7 rebounds will keep ownership low on the relatively unknown Moore. But the former Chicago Bull has now seen over 30 minutes in his past three games. In that time, he's averaged 14.3 points and five boards.

• SF Luke Babbitt (31K), Heat (vs. Bulls): Babbitt hardly registers as a sought-after name in fantasy. But he possess some legitimate upside against a Chicago team that sits 25th in opponent 3-point percentage. Babbit, who's playing 22 minutes a game, is averaging 5.5 3-point attempts per game and could get hot against the Bulls spotty perimeter D.

• SG Tyler Johnson (42K), Heat (vs. Bulls): Like Babbitt, Johnson is a secondary contributor on the Heat, and with Dwyane Wade -- the man he replaced in Miami's starting five -- returning back to Miami, expect him to be completely overlooked. He's good for 10 FGAs in 30 minutes a night -- plenty of opportunity given his modest salary.
