DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (4/20/16): NBA DFS Advice

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

As many expected, the Warriors are running away with the series against the Rockets. It'll be interesting to see if the Spurs, Cavs, or anyone for that matter can stop them this postseason.

Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/20/16. 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

 

Chris Paul (vs POR, $9,600)

As many would expect, Chris Paul is the type of person that is going to step up in the playoffs. He dominated the Blazers in his first game, and he should be able to score at will again tonight. Portland has really struggled against the point guard to end the season, and CP3’s price tag isn’t all that high. He should playing 30+ minutes tonight, and he can be used in all leagues as the Clippers try to take a 2-0 series lead.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (at CLE, $4,900)

Someone is going to have to step up for the Pistons if they want to upset Cleveland, and KCP could be that player. He has the ability to score at a high rate, while adding a few extra stats in other categories. He score 30 fantasy points against the Cavs in the first game, and he could do that again tonight. The Pistons will likely be playing from behind, which means KCP should be shooting as much as he wants. He’s going to play big minutes tonight, and he can be used in all leagues on the small slate.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

Kevin Love (vs DET, $7,400)

LeBron James is the obvious option for the Cavs, but Kevin Love also makes a great option. He was moved to center in the second half of the first game and he dominated with 50.25 fantasy points. This is the first time Kevin Love is playing in the playoffs in his career, and it looks like he’s going to make the best of it. He’s a player that can post huge double doubles, and he can be used in all leagues.

Channing Frye (vs DET, $2,800)

This price tag is ridiculous, as they never got this low during the regular season. The Cavs opted to run small ball against the Pistons in game one, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they do it again tonight. Frye scored 30 fantasy points in the first game, which would be unbelievable for his price tag. Generally, he would be best suited for GPPs, but he can be used in all leagues with a price tag this low.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

DeAndre Jordan (vs POR, $7,500)

I loved taking big men against the Blazers during the season, and I’ll continue to do that in the playoffs. Jordan double doubled against Portland in the first game, and he could post an even bigger double double tonight. His price isn’t all that high for his expected production in the playoffs, and he can be used in all leagues, as he should be locked into big minutes.
