NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel Basketball Advice for 4/22/16

We are well into the first round of the NBA playoffs.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/22/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on FanDuel.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Isaiah Thomas (vs ATL, $7,900)

Isaiah Thomas is a great tournament option tonight against the Atlanta Hawks, who are not one of the better teams in the playoffs against opposing point guards. IT2 took advantage of that in his first game of the series, posting over 40 fantasy points in 37 minutes of action, but he failed to capitalize in his second game, posting only 21.6 fantasy points in 30 minutes on the court. He is naturally a risky player, so using him in 50/50 contests may not be the best idea, especially with great forwards to pay up for.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (vs CLE, $5,600)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is one of the most consistent shooting guards in the playoffs, especially when it comes to fantasy production, which is the primary concern here. He has over 25 fantasy points in both of his first two games of the series, and the Cleveland Cavaliers tend to play horrid defense against the opposing shooting guard position. With the other positions covered rather well, KCP is going to have to score early and often if the Detroit Pistons want a shot to win this game. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments due to his low price tag.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

LeBron James (at DET, $10,400)

LeBron James is the playoff king, as well as the regular season king. He is playing as hard as he can right now, which he tends to not do during the regular season. He posted over 50 fantasy points in his first game of the series, but failed to capitalize on the second game of the series. Tonight, he should be back to dominating the glass. He is a triple-double threat every single time he takes the court, especially in the playoffs, and the Detroit Pistons are not going to be able to stop him. Use King James in both 50/50 contests and tournaments tonight.

Jae Crowder (vs ATL, $5,700)

Jae Crowder is a very up and down kind of player, which makes him a solid tournament option tonight against the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks have a hard time slowing down forwards and centers, and Crowder posted 30 fantasy points in his first game of the series. He failed to get going offensively in the second game, but that is just the way that Crowder tends to play. It is almost impossible to predict his successful and unsuccessful games. For his price tag, he seems like a steal in tournaments, as most other solid forward options are over $7,000.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Al Horford (at BOS, $7,800)

Al Horford is simply the best center option on the board without a doubt. He gets a great matchup against the Boston Celtics, and he is going to get paid a ridiculous amount of money this upcoming offseason. He posted over 40 fantasy points in his first game of the series and followed that up with 36 fantasy points in 31 minutes on the court in his second game. He is going to score over a fantasy point per minute, so if the Atlanta Hawks allow him to roam around for 35 plus minutes tonight, he is easily going to outscore all other center options. He should be used in a majority of 50/50 lineups and a few tournament lineups, along with Andre Drummond, as well.
