It's a busy Sunday in the NBA today (to make up for a very, very busy slate on Monday that features no NBA games and a Michigan/Villanova NCAA title game that 'Nova probably wins by double-digits) with 13 games happening -- that's 26 of the league's 30 teams all in action. That much basketball means you have almost endless options in your DFS lineups, which is why RotoBaller is here to help you sort it all out.
Below you will find our daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/1/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Reggie Jackson - PG, @ BKN ($5,600)
The Nets are giving up 54.7 FanDuel points to opposing point guards over the past 10 games, the third highest amount in the NBA. Jackson, after a bit of a rough start to his return, has double-digit points in four straight games and seems to have found his passing again with 13 assists over the last two games. His three point shot has been inconsistent, but the Nets are a good team for Jackson to work that out against as they've allowed the fifth most threes per game to the position over that aforementioned 10 game stretch.
Troy Daniels - SG, @ GSW ($4,400)
Daniels is a bargain on FanDuel at $4,400, outside the top 20 prices at his position. There are reasons for that -- he's put up a barrage of three point shots over the past couple of weeks, but he hasn't had an assist in four straight games. But if you're saving up your money for some of the bigger name players today, Daniels has a lot of upside against a Warriors team that's allowed 4.3 threes per game to shooting guards over the last 10. Expect Daniels to attempt a double-digit amount of threes in this one and have that translate into a strong real life scoring outburst. Hopefully that plus some solid rebounding will help your DFS lineup.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Harrison Barnes - SF @ CLE ($6,500)
While we're looking at trends, small forwards have gone off against the Cavaliers of late. Meanwhile, Dallas seems to be trusting Harrison Barnes as the number one option more and more, and he's got 25 or more FanDuel points in five straight games. You'd like a few more assists to give you something like his 37 point line against the Kings: 20 points, five rebounds, six assists. Against Cleveland, he could do it! Especially if he ends up defended by the likes of Jeff Green for much of the day.
Aaron Gordon - PF, @ ATL ($7,900)
I'm a little worried about the price, but the Hawks defense has been struggling and Gordon has 30 or more FanDuel points in four of his last five games, including a 63.2 point mark against the Suns. He could struggle from the field as he did when he went just 6-for-21 against the Bulls on Friday, but I love his upside against Atlanta. The Hawks allowed opposing teams to put up 118 or more real life points six times in March and held just one opponent (Utah) under 100. The Magic should put up a lot of points and Gordon should be the main driver of that.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Dewayne Dedmon - C, vs. ORL ($5,600)
He's had 30 or more FanDuel points in four of his last six outings and plays a Magic team that gives up the third most FanDuel points on the season to centers. There's nothing exciting about Dedmon, but he can get you a cheap double-double and help you afford to grab some of the stronger, higher priced players today. With this many games on the docket, I love saving money where I can to grab a couple of stars.
