DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (4/25/16): NBA DFS Advice

By Keith Allison [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

The Miami Heat look to bounce back from their game three loss. The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to close out their series against the Dallas Mavericks on the road. And the Los Angeles Clippers hope to head back home for game five with a 3-1 lead.

Only three games make up Monday's slate so it's definitely necessary to spend up at the positions with the most appealing options for Daily Fantasy. It would be wise to stack Oklahoma City versus Dallas the heaviest as that'll likely be the highest scoring of the three.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/25/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.

DraftKings DFS Point Guards

Chris Paul (at POR, $9,600)

CP3 has been on fire in the Los Angeles Clippers first round series versus the Portland Trailblazers. The Clippers point guard has scored 25 or more points in all three games, including one double-double in game one. He was an assist shy in game three of another double-double, and has been a consistent steals threat as well.

Look for CP3 to help the Clippers get back on track in game four, as they'll look to head back to Los Angeles with the series lead.

Russell Westbrook (vs DAL, $11,000)

If CP3 has been on fire, then Westbrook has been scorching, scorching hot for Daily Fantasy. He's posted three straight double-doubles, and has scored 25 or more points in two straight games. With the exception of game two, the Thunder have handled the Dallas Mavericks with ease, much thanks to Westbrook. Not much else needs to be said as the Thunder's tenacious point guard has been one of the top threats to break out for DFS all season. The postseason should be no different.

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

Wesley Matthews (at OKC, $4,900)

Matthews has reached projection for Daily Fantasy in the past two games of the first round, thanks to his efficiency from behind the arc. Matthews has hit six three pointers on 15 attempts over that span and has posted performances of 23.5 and 36.25 fantasy points; solid for his price. He's an affordable option that will need to pull the trigger from downtown to keep up with the Thunder's fast paced offense.

Dion Waiters (vs DAL, $3,600)

Waiters has also reached projection in the past two games, posting 24.5 and 31.5 fantasy points. His minutes have remained steadily close to 30 minutes in all three games of the first round series, and hit four threes during game two. He puts enough of a dent in the rebound and assists category to help his stat line even if he doesn't score a ton.

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards 

Luol Deng (at CHA, $6,400)

Deng has had a really solid series thus far for Daily Fantasy, including a 31 point performance in game one. He's been extremely efficient from downtown, shooting 83%, 40%, and 67% in at least five attempts in each game respectively. His rebounds total has stayed above six in each, and is another affordable option that can break out on any given night. Look for the Heat to bounce back in game four, with Deng heavily in the offensive mix once again.

Al-Farouq Aminu (vs LAC, $5,200) 

Aminu is another player that's remained somewhat consistent in all three games of the series versus the Clippers so far, and has been flirting heavily with double-doubles. He posted one in game one, was a point shy of another in game two, and was a point and three rebounds away in game three. Aminu has been a rebounding threat all season and can give your team a solid boost for a cheap price.

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

Marvin Williams (vs MIA, $4,800) 

Williams struggled in the first two games of the series against Miami, but bounced back in Charlotte's game three win. Williams posted a double-double, 12 points and 14 rebounds, including two three pointers made and one blocked shot. The Hornets are definitely refusing to go down easy, and certainly played better once Williams' production went up.

Dirk Nowitzki (at OKC, $6,300) 

Dirk scored 27 points in game four and has only improved as the series progressed. He has scored in double-digits in all four games, and his fantasy point performances have increased from 22 to 23 to 37 to 41. If Dallas has any shot of keeping pace with the Thunder or stealing another victory, it's up to their leader to step up and duplicate his game four performance.

DraftKings DFS Centers

DeAndre Jordan (at POR, $7,700)

Jordan has posted double-digit rebounds in all three games of the series. Two out of the three times were complimented with double-digit scoring. He's also tallied nine total blocks so far and has tallied a steal in all three games. Jordan has been a beast for Daily Fantasy all season and is an affordable option that can break out for a double-double any night.
