DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (4/5/16): NBA DFS Advice

It was probably a good thing that the NBA did not host any matchups on Monday. Aside from the obvious of the NCAA Championship game, it would have been way too difficult to research EVERY baseball and basketball game. So thank you, NBA. I look forward to making you the primary source of DFS for the remainder of the NBA’s regular season life.

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 4/5/16. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

Without wasting anymore time, let's get down to it!

DraftKings DFS Point Guards

Russell Westbrook (at DEN, $10,600)

Stephen Curry (vs MIN, $10,400)

Obligatory “Westbrook and/or Curry tonight” post.

Jeff Teague (vs PHO, $6,100)

Despite theoretically splitting time with Dennis Schroder, Teague has been on a bit of a torrid run down the homestretch of the season. He has been chucking up close to 20 shots per game over the last five games, averaging 38.35 DK points during that span. And let’s face it. Any guard going up against the Suns will have a nice ceiling for that game.

 

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

C.J. McCollum (at SAC, $6,900)

I almost do not want to recommend McCollum based on his erratic production from game to game. The Kings, however, play at an incredibly fast pace and give up boatloads of points to opposing two guards. Get some exposure to McCollum.

Norman Powell (vs CHA, $3,600)

Powell has been a revelation for the Raptors as the regular season winds down. Not only has he played well off the bench, but he has been putting in solid work on the court while DeMar DeRozan has been given some well deserved rest. Over his last six games, the rookie has returned value anywhere from 6x to 9 fold, making him a solid value play in cash games.

Nik Stauskas (vs NO, $3,500)

Because somebody has to score for the Sixers. At least I think someone does…...

 

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards

LeBron James (at MIL, $10,000)

The King is on some kind of silly run right now. He’s grabbing rebounds, dishing dimes, dropping threes. Basically, he is a real life version of Teen Wolf.

Jerami Grant (vs NO, $5,000)

Until two days ago, I thought I was dreaming about the Philadelphia 76ers. Mainly their rotations and minutes “restrictions.” Grant was supposed to be on one of those “restrictions,” yet Philadelphia is doing what they do best- screw with rotations. That’s fine. I’m fine with unloading five thousand fake dollars for forward that will double scoring duties due to all the injuries.

Jordan Hamilton (at PHI, $3,900)

Speaking of minutes, Mr. Hamilton seems to be logging major ones right now. Like mid 30s. That price tag is insane.

 

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

DeMarcus Cousins (vs POR, $10,200)

One of these days DraftKings will realize that Boogie is actually a center. It still won’t change the way I draft my lineups, i.e., selecting Boogie first and going from there.

Blake Griffin (vs LAL, $7,600)

Expect the rust to be shaken off and the atmosphere to be loud. Blake will go Blake against the Lakers on Tuesday night and that price will explode on Wednesday.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Alexis Ajinca (at PHI, $3,900)

I still like DeAndre Jordan and the numbers he is putting up, but I really do not want to recommend anyone other than Ajinca. He’s been the focal point of the offense since The Brown got sidelined and, quite frankly, he is just barely good enough to give the Sixers frontcourt all sorts of fits. Look for Ajinca to continue off his recent 34.0 DK point game on Sunday.
