Well, MLB Opening Day is over, and NBA is back. It is really starting to get interesting, as the playoff seeding is shaking out toward the end of the season. This is the last full week of basketball, so take advantage of that!
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/4/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Rajon Rondo - PG, at NYK ($7,100)
After the Chicago Bulls gave up on Rajon Rondo, he decided to work harder and prove that he can still be very effective at the point guard position. In his last four games, he has over 40 fantasy points in three of them. The New York Knicks are horrible defensively, and the Chicago Bulls are playing for a chance at the playoffs. Rondo has huge triple-double potential, and his price tag is still chasing his current production level. He can be rostered in all leagues without hesitation.
Timothe Luwawu - SG, vs BKN ($4,200)
Timothe Luwawu has been playing huge minutes for the Philadelphia 76ers over his last few games, and he is expected to see around 35-40 minutes tonight against the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets are horrible defensively, and Luwawu should be able to take advantage. He has great upside, and over his last four games, he has over 24 fantasy points in all of them. He posted 33.3 fantasy points in 33 minutes in his last game against the Nets. The Sixers are starting to trust Luwawu more, and he is shooting over 10 times per game. Roster him in all leagues, as a salary relief option.
Also Consider: Matthew Dellavedova - PG, at OKC ($3,500)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Jimmy Butler - SF, at NYK ($10,000)
Jimmy Butler has over 40 fantasy points in nine consecutive games, and he just recently posted over 50 fantasy points against the New Orleans Pelicans and Atlanta Hawks. The New York Knicks are not going to slow Butler down, and he is pushing to get the Chicago Bulls into the playoffs. His price tag is getting to be quite high, but his production level is on par with LeBron James. As long as this game does not get out of hand, which it shouldn't, expect Butler to have another huge outing.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson - SF, at PHI ($5,300)
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has been playing well over his last few games for the Brooklyn Nets, and he gets a good matchup tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers. In his last game against the Sixers, which was four contests ago, he posted over 30 fantasy points in 24 minutes. He has been playing around 25-30 minutes per game of recent, so 30 plus fantasy points is likely going to happen again. He has been very consistent, so roster RHJ in cash games. He has at least 25 fantasy points in six of his last seven games.
Also Consider: Terrence Ross - SF, at CLE ($4,300)
FanDuel DFS Centers
DeMarcus Cousins - C, vs DEN ($9,600)
DeMarcus Cousins is easily the best center option on the board tonight. His price tag is too low currently, and the Denver Nuggets are horrendous against opposing big men. Cousins has over 55 fantasy points in three of his last five games, and against the Memphis Grizzlies, he posted over 70 fantasy points. That is great upside. There is simply no reason to avoid him or any reason to roster another center ahead of him. Cousins is THE center option tonight. Roster him in all leagues.
Also Consider: Robin Lopez - C, at NYK ($4,700)
