DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (4/6/16): NBA DFS Advice

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

Brook Lopez and Thad Young have been ruled out for the remainder of the season, which means we can pull the trigger on Thomas Robinson every night for the rest of the season.

Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/6/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.

Without wasting anymore time, here are the picks!

DraftKings DFS Guards

 

James Harden (at DAL, $10,800)

Harden makes a great option tonight, as he does every night. He’s coming off a great game with 67.5 fantasy points against the Thunder, and he gets another great matchup against the Mavs tonight. Dallas has struggled against the shooting guard, and Harden is averaging 57.5 fantasy points per game against them this season. Harden has triple double potential every time he steps on the court, and he can be used in all leagues.

J.J. Barea (vs HOU, $6,100)

The Mavs recently said that Deron Williams has not progressed enough to return anytime soon, which means J.J. Barea will continue to play big minutes. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 21.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists in 30.5 minutes per game. His price is finally high enough that he isn’t an automatic start, but he’s still a bit too cheap for his upside. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Houston team, and Barea can be used in all leagues tonight.

Shane Larkin (at WAS, $4,300)

Larkin’s price is a bit too cheap tonight, as he has scored 20+ fantasy points in eight consecutive games. He gets a great matchup against the Wizards, who are a fast paced team that struggles against the point guard. The Nets recently ruled Thad Young and Brook Lopez out for the season, which means Larkin could see a little higher of a usage rating on offense. He’s a cheap way to get consistency on your team, and he can be used in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

LeBron James (at IND, $9,900)

James is in playoff form and he’s proving that he can carry the Cavs team right now. He’s as hot as any player in the NBA right now, and he’s a triple double threat every time he steps on the court. He gets a good matchup against the Pacers, who have been playing at a much faster pace this season. James will be able to do anything he wants on the court tonight, and he can be used in all leagues.

Thomas Robinson (at WAS, $4,700)

As I mentioned earlier, the Nets have ruled out Thad Young and Brook Lopez for the rest of the season, which opens the door for Thomas Robinson to play big minutes. He’s averaging 35.9 fantasy points in 27.1 minutes per game over the last 10 days, and he’ll likely play 30+ minutes tonight. He gets a great matchup against the Wizards, who are a fast paced team, and Robinson should be used in all leagues.

Jordan Hamilton (at BOS, $4,200)

Hamilton is locked into big minutes for the Pelicans, and he makes a great option in all leagues tonight. The Celtics have had an average defense this season, and Hamilton has been playing extremely well. He’s averaging over 25 fantasy points per game since joining the Pelicans, and he’ll continue to have opportunities, as New Orleans is dealing with a ton of injuries. Hamilton is a great value option in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

Nikola Vucevic (vs DET, $6,900)

Vucevic is finally off his minutes restriction, and his price hasn’t caught up to his full game production. Since returning from injury, he’s averaging 39.8 fantasy points in only 26.2 minutes per game, and he’ll likely play 30+ minutes tonight. He gets a great matchup against the Pistons, who have struggled against center this season. Vucevic is entirely too cheap, and he can be used in all leagues.
