FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (4/21/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Steph curry NBA dfs lineup picks daily fantasy basketball advice

We've got an eleven-game slate for Wednesday. No teams (ATL, BKN, LAC, MIN, NYK, POR, and SAC) are playing the second leg of a back-to-back.

There are five games at 7:00 pm (PHO @ PHI, CHI @ CLE, BKN @ TOR, OKC @ IND, and GS @ WAS), two games at 8:00 pm (ATL @ NY and UTA @ HOU), two games at 8:30 pm (DET @ DAL and MIA @ SA), and the late-night hammer at 10:00 pm are MIN @ SAC, MEM @ LAC, and DEN @ POR.

Here are my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/21/21. You can also check out today's DraftKings lineup picks. Keep an eye on Rotoballer’s injury news to stay up to date before lineups are locked.

FanDuel DFS Guards


Stephen Curry, PG - at WAS ($10,200)

Over the last eight games, Curry has gone for at least 50 FD points in seven with two above 60. He is truly en fuego. Now he gets a juicy matchup against a Wizards team that plays at the fastest pace and is 22nd in defensive efficiency.

Cory Joseph, PG - at DAL ($5,000) 

Killian Hayes is out while Dennis Smith Jr. is unlikely to play, so Joseph should start and get plenty of run. In seven starts this season, Joseph has averaged 31 minutes and 27.28 FD points per game. The range has been wide, though, as he's gone over 40 FD points twice and under 20 twice.

Bradley Beal, SG - vs. GS ($8,500)

Beal has scored at least 30 real points in five straight games. From a FD perspective, it's translated to 45.2, 49.1, 39.8, 38.3, and 48.1 FD points. These teams met six games ago and Beal only scored 26.6 FD points, but he only played 30 minutes in that one. Over the last five games, Beal has played 37, 36, 43, 35, and 36 minutes. Both teams play fast so there should be plenty of opportunities to accumulate fantasy goodies.

Reggie Bullock, SG - vs. ATL ($3,800)

Over the last four games, Bullock has played 31, 35, 41, and 37 minutes. He's attempted double-digit shots in three of those games. The ceiling is limited with Bullock as he's surpassed 30 FD points just three times. With that said, he's scored 21.3, 19.5, 22.8, 24.9, and 24.6 FD points over the last five games. He's getting the minutes and opportunities. It is a back-to-back, so that is a slight concern but he just played in one four games ago and went for over 20 FD points in both games.

Also consider: Russell Westbrook ($10,800), Delon Wright ($5,300), CJ McCollum ($8,100), Landry Shamet ($4,800)

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Michael Porter Jr., SF - at POR ($7,400)

Porter has scored at least 30 FD points in each of the last 13 games with three above 40 and one above 50. He now gets a matchup against a Portland team that is 29th in defensive efficiency and boosts the FPPM to power forwards by 5.68% above league average.

Maurice Harkless, SF - vs. MIN ($3,600)

It's been a volatile ride for Harkless since arriving in Sacramento. He was playing in the 15-20 minute range when he first arrived but he's gone over 30 in three of the last five games. He's produced 30.6, 32.1, 7, 18.6, and 25.2 FD points. So the range is wide. If he gets the minutes, he should exceed salary expectations because he contributes in every category. Minnesota plays at the second-fastest pace and is 27th in defensive efficiency. They also boost the FPPM to small forwards by 20.69% above league average, the most generous in the league.

Julius Randle, PF - vs. ATL ($10,000)

Hail, Julius! He's gone for at least 40 FD points in 12 of the last 13 games with three of those over 50 and two over 60. He faced Atlanta twice this season and put up 57.9 and 59.3 FD points. The Hawks boost the FPPM to power forwards by 8.95% above league average.

Trevor Ariza, PF - vs. ORL ($4,000)

Over the last three games, Ariza has played 29, 35, and 36 minutes, contributing 17.5, 26.3, and 40.9 FD points. He can contribute across the board and can access ceiling games like the 40-burger he put up. He's starting and playing a ton of minutes so the opportunities will be there.

Also consider: Kelly Oubre Jr. ($6,700), Carmelo Anthony ($4,800), Draymond Green ($7,400), Aleksej Pokusevski ($4,800), Xavier Tillman ($5,000)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Nikola Jokic, C - at POR ($11,300)

Jokic does it all. Pass. Shoot. Rebound. Block. Steal. He's coming off a 73-FD point game against the Grizzlies which he accomplished in 45 minutes. In the prior game, he put up 64.7 FD points in only 27 minutes. The floor/ceiling combo is one of, if not the best, on the slate.

Moses Brown, C - at IND ($5,200)

Brown has not played well recently. As a result, he's only received 16 and 20 minutes of playing time. He's still starting, though, and this could be the game he gets right. The Pacers boost the FPPM to centers by 26.84% above league average. Now Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis are out while Goga Bitadze is questionable.

Also consider: Karl-Anthony Towns ($10,500)
