DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/11/18): NBA DFS Lineups

This is it, the final day of the NBA regular season. The most important game on the slate is Denver at Minnesota, as this will determine the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, it's very simple for that game, win and you are in, lose and you're season is over. There are other games where seeding can change but all of the other teams are clinched.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/11/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on DraftKings.

You can also read more DFS advice and lineup picks for sites like FanDuel, and other sports too. Give me a follow on Twitter @DFS_Tom. Good luck!

DraftKings DFS Guards

Ben Simmons - PG, PHI vs MIL (DK - $10,300)

Simmons has a usage rate sitting at 25% along with averaging 1.28 fantasy points per minute with Embiid off the court. He is campaigning for the rookie of the year right now, and he has one final game of the year to make an impression. He has triple-double upside on nearly any slate and has three of such in his last 10 games, with double-doubles in that span. Great well rounded production from him and has a solid floor of points. A bit of a tougher matchup in terms of DvP tonight, but shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Gary Harris - SG, DEN @ MIN (DK - $5,700)

Harris is back from his injury and put up 17 DraftKings points in 18 minutes in his first games. That is solid production out of a player who missed nearly a month of time, but now with the Nuggets needing to win, we will likely see plenty of him tonight. This is also a good time to buy in when his minutes should be on the rise, meaning he could be having production above what he is priced at. This presents a nice spot for a GPP play, combined with the fact we know he has plenty of upside from his ability to hit the three ball.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Jimmy Butler - SF, MIN vs DEN (DK - $7,400)

Butler and the Timberwolves are on the other side of that Nuggets game, where they win, and they make the playoffs. He is back from his injury and put up over one fantasy point per minute, falling right back into the form we know he has. Simply put, he is way too cheap for his true skill, and this is the ideal spot to have him in. The one part of concern or worry is his minutes in these first two games back, as they were at 23 in both games. We want to see they much higher in this must-win game and knowing how coach Tom Thibodeau does things with his starters, his minutes should be there, after all, he doesn't have the nickname Jimmy Minutes for nothing.

Julius Randle - PF, LAL @ LAC (DK - $7,900)

In all honesty, Randle might've been one of the best players int he second half of the season, and it was all for naught since the Lakers won't be making the playoffs. He has scored 30 or more DraftKings points in eight of his last 10 games and has seven double-doubles over that span. He is up against the Clippers tonight, who are giving up 47 DraftKings points per game to power forwards. This game doesn't have an over-under set as of now, but it should be on the higher end since both of these teams play at a higher pace.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

LaMarcus Aldridge - C, SA @ NO (DK - $10,000)

Aldridge has scored 41 or more DraftKings points in nine of his last 10 games and is carrying this team to the playoffs. The Spurs have clinched a playoff spot, but they are still fighting for their seeding, and considering they are up against the Pelicans, who they are tied with, this is a very important last game. Speaking of the Pelicans, they are giving up 51 DraftKings points per game to centers, which puts Aldridge in a great spot to really rack up the points tonight. He has a usage rate sitting at 32%, along with averaging 1.21 fantasy poitns per minute this season.
