FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/4/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After a massive slate, we have two games tonight. Two WHOLE games. Trust me, I know you're struggling to contain your excitement, but we need to try and find the hidden gems tonight if you plan to cash out.

Of course playing one of the Warriors tonight is needed, just realize that any one of them is capable of going off. It's also a good idea to note Kevin Durant's price tonight, he should exceed value, but it's also likely everyone will be playing him for that reason.

Below you will find our daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 1/4/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also read more DFS lineup picks for DraftKings and other sports too.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Raymond Felton - PG at LAC ($4,100)

Not really a hard play seeing how the Thunder are on the second night of a back-to-back, but the Clippers backcourt is atrocious when it comes to defense. This is a revenge game for Raymond Felton and there are few matchups that can keep him from being productive. As long as Felton is hitting his shot, he will exceed value. The Clippers might not get entirely run over by a potentially exhausted Oklahoma City team, but Felton will definitely want his share of chances to bury his former team.

 Klay Thompson - SG at HOU ($6,800)

Is there any fantasy player that has the upside of Klay Thompson. Every game, fans are just waiting for him to go off for 50 in a half and DFS fans are even more anxious. The best thing about picking Klay is the fact he's playing the Rockets. There is not a better team for him to have a great game against, and more importantly, the Rockets don't have the defensive firepower to withstand and barrage from Klay. Klay not only has his normal upside, but his opponent will be playing right into his strengths.

Also Consider: Milos Teodosic - PG at LAC ($5,900)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Trevor Ariza - SF vs. GSW ($6,000)

Trevor Ariza has been a pleasant surprise this year and there is no reason not to play him in a slate like tonight. The Warriors defense is one of the best of the league, so players like Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson will be contested all game, allowing Ariza to the beneficiary of more than a dozen open shots. Ariza usually doesn't drive when he has the ball, so he focuses on spacing and effectively hitting threes. They will need him, especially without James Harden, so look for Chris Paul to be distributing like its 1990.

Jerami Grant - PF @ LAC ($3,500)

Total risk play, but Jerami Grant can be the perfect sleeper, especially when the Thunder are on back-to-back. Terence Ferguson scored 24 points last night, and while that shoulnd't carry over, another Oklahoma City player contributing is bound to happen. When the Thunder stars are playing like they have been, it's easy for the surrounding role players to produce. Grant is good for a few rebounds and points on a bad night, so when he is lined up to have a solid statline, he tends to deliver.

Also Consider: Carmelo Anthony - SF @ LAC ($6,100)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

 DeAndre Jordan - C, vs OKC ($7,300)

Steven Adams is a more than capable defender, but it is hard to pass up DeAndre Jordan against anyone. If the law of averages holds strong, then there will be a ton of rebounds up for grabs tonight. You need to make sure you get the the daily stat leaders and chances are Jordan runs away with today's rebounding title. His price is moderate, but when the options are limited you have little choice but to spend up where necessary.
