It is time for the NBA playoffs!

Everyone has been waiting the entire year for this moment. If the NBA playoffs are not exciting enough, bet some money on them. DFS is a great way to get a girlfriend into fantasy sports. Let her bet a dollar or two on the game. It'll keep her glued to her seat. You're welcome. Anyway...

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

FanDuel DFS Guards

James Harden (at GS, $10,800)

James Harden is the best guard option on the board, which is saying something, considering that Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook are both going to play tonight. Harden gets the better matchup against the Golden State Warriors, who are going to push the pace of the game and ended the regular season as the second worst team in the league against opposing shooting guard for DFS purposes. Harden has been playing 40 plus minutes for quite some time now, and he ended the season hot. He should easily eclipse the 50 fantasy point mark tonight with the ability to score closer to 70 or 80.

Norman Powell (vs IND, $4,000)

Norman Powell ended the season with a bang. The Toronto Raptors are either going to restrain him a little bit in the playoffs because they want to slow the pace and allow Kyle Lowry to finish the big plays, or they are going to unleash him on the Indiana Pacers. He recently played the Pacers, and in 41 minutes, he dropped 39.2 fantasy points. In his last game prior to the end of the season, he dropped over 49 fantasy points in 37 minutes against the Brooklyn Nets. His price tag dropped significantly, and his minutes may come down, but he is still definitely worth a look in tournaments tonight.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Draymond Green (vs HOU, $9,000)

Draymond Green is the best forward option on the board tonight. There really aren't too many great big men, so fitting Green into the lineup should not be that difficult. He faces off against the Houston Rockets, who are one of the worst teams in the league against opposing power forwards, and Green looked solid to end the season. Against the Memphis Grizzlies, he posted 46.2 fantasy points in 35 minutes. The Golden State Warriors are going to push the pace of the game, and while Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are going to get their shots, Green is going to contribute in all stat categories. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Justin Anderson (at OKC, $3,900)

Justin Anderson makes for a solid tournament option tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder because he has been playing solid minutes for the Dallas Mavericks. To end the season, he played 30 or more minutes in two of four games. He also posted over 20 fantasy points in two of four, one of which was 37 fantasy points in 38 minutes against the Memphis Grizzlies. It is likely that he plays right around 20-25 minutes tonight against the Thunder, but that is enough to hit value with his low price tag. There really are not too many solid, cheap forwards, so pick and choose wisely.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Al Horford (vs BOS, $7,800)

Al Horford is simply the best center option on the board tonight. He has the most consistently by a long shot and arguably the most upside as well. Dwight Howard does have solid upside, but Horford gets the better matchup against the Boston Celtics, who do not know how to guard the center position. Horford has over 30 fantasy points in six straight games now, so using him in 50/50 contests is almost a must. He has the ability to post over 40 fantasy points, and this season, he has actually gone over 50 fantasy points a couple of times. Without many other solid options, Horford can be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
