There are five games to choose from tonight. This is the second last day before the end of the NBA regular season. Tomorrow will be a big day for fantasy basketball. Tonight is just a little preview.
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/11/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.
Let's get rolling.
FanDuel DFS Guards
Devin Booker - SG, at SAC ($7,900)
Devin Booker is the new face of the Phoenix Suns' franchise. He is going to be mentioned in the same line of conversation as Isaiah Thomas, Kyrie Irving, and Damian Lillard next season. For now, he needs to be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. His price tag is very reasonable, and he has at least 40 fantasy points in three of his last five games. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he posted 50 fantasy points in 38 minutes. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the terrible Sacramento Kings. The Kings are not going to be able to stop Booker from scoring.
Wesley Matthews - SG, vs DEN ($4,400)
Wesley Matthews is set to play around 35 minutes tonight against the Denver Nuggets. Most fantasy owners are aware of how bad the Nuggets are defensively. Matthews has been dealing with injuries all season, but it looks like he is finally healthy. When he plays around 35 minutes per game, he tends to post at least 20 fantasy points. He has 30-40 fantasy point upside, which is great for his price tag. Roster him right next to Devin Booker in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Larry Nance Jr - PF, vs NOP ($4,600)
Larry Nance Jr is on a lot of team's radars this offseason, as he could be potential trade bait for the Los Angeles Lakers. Leaked reports of the Orlando Magic have Nance at the top of their 'wants list.' In his last four games, Nance has over 30 fantasy points in three of them. He has at least 35 fantasy points in two of his last four games. Nance is still relatively cheap, and he should hit value easily tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans. Nance will not provide much defense against Anthony Davis or DeMarcus Cousins, but he should be able to grab a few rebounds and score a few points.
Andre Roberson - SF, at MIN ($3,800)
Andre Roberson is expected to see around 35 minutes on the court tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are an uptempo team that rarely plays much defense, which should benefit Roberson. When he plays big minutes, he tends to post over 20 fantasy points, much like Wesley Matthews. He is obviously not one of the main offensive weapons, but he can shoot if given the opportunity. Russell Westbrook will no longer need to get that triple-double, so perhaps there will be points, rebounds, and assists to go around for the team.
FanDuel DFS Centers
George Papagiannis - C, vs PHX ($3,500)
George Papagiannis is worth consideration in both 50/50 contests and tournaments, as a salary relief option. He should play around 20 minutes tonight for the Sacramento Kings, and both the Kings and Phoenix Suns love to push the pace of games. This should be a high-scoring affair with plenty of rebound opportunities for big men. Papagiannis has great upside, and he tends to post around one fantasy point per minute on the court.
