DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/26/23): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Giannis Antetokounmpo - NBA DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineups

We're poised for a big (by postseason standards) four-game slate on Wednesday, one that features three potential elimination games. The dire straits that some of the teams find themselves in could certainly lead to some standout individual performances.

One potential superstar's absence has the potential to make other players on that team even more appealing than they otherwise would be.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 4/26/23. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool as the slate can completely change before lineups lock.

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Stephen Curry - PG, GSW at SAC ($9,500 DK, $9,900 FD)

Curry put together yet another 30-point effort in Game 4, helping the Warriors even the series at 2-2 while racking up 48.3 DK/46 FD points across 42 minutes. The legendary sharpshooter is now shooting a crisp 53.3 percent, including 44.4 percent from three-point range, across eight games against Sacramento since the start of the regular season. There's naturally zero risk Curry doesn't play a voluminous/critical role in a pivotal Game 5. The fact he could be facing a limited-at-best De'Aaron Fox certainly makes him all the more appealing.

Desmond Bane, SG, MEM vs. LAL ($7,700 DK, $8,000 FD)

Bane was the star for the Grizzlies in Game 4's losing effort, totaling 36 points across 47 minutes and netting 51.3 DK/48.9 FD points. Bane also put together a performance befitting higher salaries in Game 1, recording 38.3 DK/36 FD points in that contest. The talented wing should once again play a hefty role in Game 5's elimination scenario for Memphis. Even if he doesn't approach Game 4's atypically high 29 shot attempts, he could very well approximate 20, which would give him plenty of opportunity to deliver strong returns on salary.

Austin Reaves - PG/SG, LAL at MEM ($5,800 DK, $6,500 FD)

Reaves contributed his second 23-point effort of the series in Game 4. He's now shooting 49.0 percent in the series, a figure that includes a 41.2 percent success rate from three-point range. The second-year guard is averaging over 30 fantasy points per game against Memphis in six games since the start of the regular season. This is a sample in which he's shooting 50.0 percent, including 44.4 percent from distance. Given his salaries have remained fairly stable and that he's exceeded 38 DK points twice already this series, Reaves makes for a highly attractive value play.

ALSO CONSIDER: Jalen Brunson, NYK at CLE ($7,500 DK, $8,600 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Giannis Antetokounmpo - SF/PF, MIL vs. MIA ($10,400 DK, $12,000 FD)

Antetokounmpo fought through discomfort and reported dehydration to put together a gutsy Game 4 performance on Monday night, one that saw him generate a 26-point, 13-assist, 10-rebound triple-double that netted over 60 fantasy points on both sites. The big man is listed as probable for Wednesday's critical Game 5, one the Bucks naturally have to prevail in to survive in the series. Miami is allowing 47.8 percent shooting to power forwards since the start of the season and Antetokounmpo is shooting 59.2 percent in four games versus the Heat since the start of the campaign.

Andrew Wiggins - SF/PF, GSW at SAC ($6,700 DK, $7,400 FD)

Wiggins has quietly put together a stellar series thus far, averaging 19.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 2.3 blocks while shooting 49.2 percent across 34.8 minutes per contest. The veteran wing is encouragingly averaging just under 16 shot attempts per game. He has comfortably eclipsed 30 fantasy points on either site in three of those contests, making his current salaries especially appealing. The Kings make for great targets as well, considering Sacramento is allowing the fourth-highest offensive efficiency rating to small forwards since the start of the campaign.

Harrison Barnes - SF/PF, SAC vs. GSW ($5,300 DK, $5,600 FD)

Barnes is one of several Kings players poised to benefit if De'Aaron Fox is absent due to a finger injury on Wednesday. The veteran already comes in averaging a solid 13.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.5 steals across 33.8 minutes per contest thus far in the series. Barnes is averaging 30.2 DK/29.1 FD points per 36 minutes with Fox off the floor, which represents rock-solid returns on his current salaries. Golden State is tough on small forwards, but Barnes' salaries and potentially expanded role certainly put him in play.

ALSO CONSIDER: Kevin Huerter, SAC vs. GSW ($5,600 DK, $5,700 FD)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Domantas Sabonis - SAC vs. GSW ($9,300 DK, $9,100 FD)

Sabonis should also naturally be in a position to benefit if Fox does sit out or is limited, which makes the big man an even more appealing option at his salaries than he already would be. Sabonis is already averaging 16.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals across 36.8 minutes in the first four games of the series. He's averaging 50.1 DK/48.4 FD points per 36 minutes with Fox off the floor since the start of the regular season. Golden State also ranks No. 20 in offensive efficiency allowed to centers since the start of the regular season (32.5), furthering Sabonis' case.

Xavier Tillman Sr. - MEM vs. LAL ($5,500 DK, $6,700 FD)

Tillman has consistently outperformed his salaries since Game 2, scoring 30 to 44.8 DK points/32.4 to 42.1 FD points in the last three contests. The young big has checked off every box on the stat sheet in the last two games, and he worked all the way up to 42 minutes in Game 4. The Lakers are surrendering the seventh-highest offensive efficiency rating to centers since the start of the season (34.2), along with the fourth-highest shooting percentage to the position (59.1).

ALSO CONSIDER: Jaren Jackson Jr., MEM vs. LAL ($7,800 DK, $8,400 FD); Brook Lopez, MIL vs. MIA ($6,400 DK, $7,900 FD)
