What's going on everyone! John aka "LucidMedia' here. I hope you all are enjoying the MLB All-Star Break as well as these Finals! It's Game Four tonight, so let's hammer down this single game slate tonight!
Phoenix jumped ahead to a 2-0 series lead to begin the series, with Milwaukee taking their first home game on Sunday evening. This looks to be a must-win game for Milwaukee as they do not want to head back to Phoenix down 3-1.
This article will supply you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for the FanDuel Single Game on 7/14/21. You can also check out today’s DraftKings lineup picks. It’s also important to monitor injury news as a result of COVID-19 as the slate can completely change before line-up lock. Without further ado, let’s dive into the picks!

FanDuel DFS MVP/STAR/PRO
Giannis Antetokoumpo ($16,000)
As I mentioned at the top of the article, this is essentially a must-win for the Bucks. They blew the Suns out on Sunday night behind a second-straight 40-point performance from Giannis. I can expect a similar output from Giannis tonight, as it appears that he is beginning to bud into the "best player in the league" talk. I also think this game will go down to the wire, so I expect him to see a lot of usage and maybe hit some free throws 😉 in this one.
Bonus MVP/STAR/PRO: Devin Booker ($14,000), Jrue Holiday ($12,000)

FanDuel DFS UTIL
Pat Connaughton - UTIL, ($8,500)
In any single game slate, you're going to need your value plays. Connaughton provides this as he should continue to see 28-32 minutes. While it's important to play a guy who's going to play most of the game, you don't want a guy who plays empty minutes (paging PJ Tucker). Connaughton has been producing in his time on the floor, though, averaging 10 points and four rebounds in The Finals.
Jae Crowder - UTIL ($9,500)
Here's another guy who's averaging a ton of minutes at a bargain price. Crowder has played an average of over 33 minutes this series and is benefitting from the matchup against the Bucks. He's averaged just 10 points per game in the series, but that number should be higher as he went 0-8 (0-5 from beyond the arc) in Game 1. He's also averaging over 8 rebounds per game in the series, and should fit into your lineups nicely.
Bonus UTIL: Mikal Bridges ($10,000), Khris Middleton ($13,500), Chris Paul ($14,000)
Single Games, especially in playoffs, are all about value. It's important to follow news leading up to tonight's game to find value and see if there are any changes to the lineup or matchup changes that could open up value in your lineups. Be sure to give me a follow on Twitter (@LucidMediaDFS) for any updates on value in tonight's slate.
