I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. The playoffs continue with two games on the agenda on Monday night with the Clippers and Sixers looking to even things up in their respective series.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/15/19. 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 check out today's DraftKings lineup picks.
Give me a follow on Twitter @Den_Clausen and say hello. Good luck.
FanDuel DFS Guards
Stephen Curry - PG, vs. LAC ($9,800)
Curry was the star of Game 1, leading his team to a comfortable 121-104 victory on Saturday night and doing so while passing Ray Allen for most 3-pointers made in NBA postseason history. While Kevin Durant dealt with the botheration of Patrick Beverly, the former MVP was hot, finishing things up with 38 points while throwing in an impressive 15 points and seven boards in the process. Things shouldn't change in Game 2 so make sure Steph is in your lineup at all costs.
Lou Williams - SG, @ GSW ($6,700)
With the inexperience of the Clippers roster across the board, Williams should continue to serve a vital role in the team's rotation for the remainder of the series, even though it will likely only last for three more games. The former (and likely) Sixth Man of the Year finished Game 1 with 25 points on 21 shots off of the bench for a total of 43.1 fantasy points. With that type of involvement, he should hit his value in Game 2 with no issues at all.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Draymond Green - PF, vs. LAC ($7,700)
Green was efficient in Game 1, finishing things up with 17 points, seven boards, and seven assists throughout 34 minutes. Though he appeared to have taken a step back from a production standpoint during the regular season, his experience in the playoffs should give him an added boost to supply some fantasy points for those who have him in their lineups on Monday night.
DeMarre Carroll - SF, @ PHI ($4,000)
Carroll was able to compile 26.2 fantasy points on Saturday despite a rough 3-for-10 shooting performance. With Jared Dudley and Ed Davis potentially out of the equation on Monday night, the veteran should get plenty of changes to contribute from a fantasy perspective in a vital matchup with Philly.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Joel Embiid - C, vs. BKN ($11,000)
Embiid is carrying a questionable tag heading into Game 2 due to knee soreness. The big man was observed sporting a brace on Saturday that is commonly used for stability for those suffering from arthritis, indicating that this issue is something that he can play through but will have to deal with, likely for the remainder of his career. As long as Embiid can tolerate the pain, he should be on the floor and ready to go on Monday night against a Brooklyn team that hasn't been able to stop him all season. Though Jarrett Allen is a capable defender from a blocking perspective, his lack of development at the NBA level is apparent and as a result, look for Embiid to do all he to get this series knotted up before the series heads back to Barclays for Game 3.
