We're down to only two game slates, but there is still value to be had. The Clippers and Jazz are playing for a spot in the next round, while the Wizards and Celtics are starting a new series.
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/30/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays. Shall we dance?

DraftKings DFS Guards
Chris Paul – PG, vs UTA ($10,200)
Paul has been an elite option this series, as he’s averaging 53.9 fantasy points per game. They are now in a win or go home game, and these are the types of games CP3 tends to take over. He has been an elite scorer, but he has also displayed triple double potential with elite stealing potential. The Jazz have an elite defense, but they have had no answer for Paul this series, and he’s an elite option in all leagues.
Austin Rivers – PG/SG, vs UTA ($4,000)
Rivers has been injured for the majority of the playoffs, but he was able to play 35 minutes in the Clippers last game. He scored 22.5 fantasy points, while scoring 13 points with four rebounds, one assist, and one block. He’s a player that can heat up in a hurry, and he still comes with an extremely low price tag. There are limited options today, and Rivers can be used in all leagues.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Gordon Hayward – SF/PF, at LAC ($8,500)
Hayward has been playing at an unbelievable level recently, as he has scored 50.25, 48.5, and 60.75 fantasy points in his last three healthy games. He’s taking around 20 shots per game, and he has shown the ability to be an elite scorer. He can also stats in each of the other five categories, although he struggled with blocks. There aren’t many elite forwards on this slate, and Hayward leads the list.
Amir Johnson – PF, vs WAS ($2,400)
Johnson saw his minutes drop against the Bulls because the Celtics opted to run a “small ball” lineup. He is expected to see around 20 minutes today, and he’s averaging 17.0 fantasy points in 19.5 minutes per game this season. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Wizards team, as well. Johnson is extremely cheap, and he’s a high upside GPP option. He’s too risky for cash, as his minutes are far from guaranteed today.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert – C, at LAC ($7,800)
Gobert recently returned from injury, and he’s averaging 13.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 2.3 steals in 31.0 minutes per game since returning from injury. He’s likely going to play 35 or more minutes today, and Gobert has elite double double potential with the ability to contribute in each of the five categories. He has looked outstanding against the Clippers this season, and Gobert can be used in all leagues.
