Yahoo Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (4/10/17): NBA DFS Advice

By Keith Allison from Hanover, MD, USA (Aaron Gordon) [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

This is the final week for NBA regular season daily fantasy action! Monday is a huge nine-game slate, which will be followed up by a lesser five-game slate on Tuesday, and finally, the biggest slate of them all on Wednesday. This will be a fun couple of days. Let's win all three. Below is how we win tonight.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 4/10/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo. 

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @thedominatordfs.

Yahoo DFS Guards

James Harden - PG, at LAC ($62)

James Harden is not listed as one of the best guard options on the board tonight, but that is only because Yahoo has so much value that Harden gets bumped down due to his high price tag. Fantasy owners are going to have to spend up somewhere, and Harden is about as consistent as they come. Plus, he has great upside. In his last three games, he has over 60 fantasy points in all of them. He is currently competing with Russell Westbrook for the MVP trophy, and the Houston Rockets are attempting to keep that high seeding in the playoffs. Roster Harden in both 50/50 contests and tournaments, as he averages 1.52 fantasy points per minute on the court.

Timothe Luwawu - SG, vs IND ($13)

So, where is all that value that everyone is speaking out? How about right here with Timothe Luwawu. He is expected to continue to see around 35-40 minutes on the court tonight against the uptempo Indiana Pacers, and in his last seven games, he has over 25 fantasy points in all of them. He even posted over 34 fantasy points in two games. This is one of the easiest recommendations on the board tonight. There is one better, though (see center). Luwawu is very consistent for his price tag. Roster him in all leagues with James Harden.

Also Consider: Joe Ingles - SG, at GSW ($10) 

 

Yahoo DFS Forwards 

Aaron Gordon - PF, at CHI ($24)

Fantasy owners must remember that it does not have to be super expensive or super cheap all the time. Sometimes, middle of the road priced options are good for a lineup. Aaron Gordon is that option. He gets a good matchup against the Chicago Bulls, and over his last few games, he has shown ridiculous upside. In his last five games, he has over 30 fantasy points in four contests, over 35 fantasy points in three contests, over 50 fantasy points in two contests, and over 60 fantasy points against the Boston Celtics. With that kind of upside, paying an extra couple of days in tournaments does not seem like all that terrible of an idea. Do not be a penny pincher!

Channing Frye - PF, at MIA ($10)

Channing Frye is as cheap as possible right now on Yahoo, and he is expected to see around 25 minutes tonight against the Miami Heat. In his last three games, he has over 25 fantasy points in all of them. He just recently started seeing significant court time, and he can get hot from beyond the arc. If that happens, the sky is the limit, as far as fantasy production is concerned. Despite popular belief, if Frye is hot, LeBron James is going to allow him to shoot. Roster Frye in all leagues, but he is best suited for tournaments.

Also Consider: Justin Anderson - SF, vs IND ($10)

 

Yahoo DFS Centers

 

Boban Marjanovic - C, vs WAS ($10)

There will be no "Also Consider" option tonight. Why? Because Boban Marjanovic needs to be rostered in every single lineup. There is absolutely no reason to avoid him in 50/50 contests or tournaments. He is the best fantasy option on the board tonight without a doubt. His price tag is far too low right now. Yes, he is only playing around 25 minutes per game, but he is averaging 1.32 fantasy points per minute. He posted 44 fantasy points in just 28 minutes two games ago against the Houston Rockets. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Washington Wizards, one of the worst teams in the league against opposing centers. Do not avoid him. Seriously.
