FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (4/28/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Two more series are in the books after Thursday night's NBA action, while several have yet to be decided.

Friday night's slate consists of three games. Either a Game 7 or the second round awaits all teams.

In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/28/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays. Let's dance.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Chris Paul - PG, @ UTA ($10,400)

With Los Angeles' back against the wall, this is where we spend up tonight. Chris Paul has been on a tear all series long, posting a double-double in four of five games. He failed to do so in Game 5, but was only one assist shy of making it five for five. The rebound totals have been up there as well, while he is also averaging two steals per game. He owns the third highest usage rate of any player on the slate and will have plenty of opportunities to continue his production with Blake Griffin sidelined for the remainder of the playoffs. Let's see if the Clippers can force a decisive Game 7.

Also Consider: Isaiah Thomas - PG, @ CHI ($9,000) 

 

Rodney Hood - SG, vs LAC ($4,000)

Rodney Hood is coming off two of the best playoff performances of his career. In Game 4, Hood accumulated 18 points (6-16 from the floor), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes of floor time. Hood also added three from behind the arc on five attempts. Utah's shooting guard followed up his impressive showing with 16 points in Game 5, making it clear that his role has been increasing the more the series progresses. His usage rate currently sits at 23.25, while his price is too good to pass up on.

Also Consider: J.J. Redick - SG, @ UTA ($3,900)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Taurean Prince - SF, vs WAS ($4,000)

Taurean Prince continues to do just enough, on the court and for daily fantasy. In every game of Atlanta's series with Washington, Prince has scored in double-digit, and has posted four or more rebounds (averaging 5.4 per game). He is averaging over 30 minutes of floor time, and will continue to find openings with Kent Bazemore and Thabo Sefalosa sidelined with injuries.

Also Consider: Jae Crowder - SF, @ CHI ($6,200)

 

Paul Millsap - PF, vs WAS ($8,600)

With Lob City officially out for the rest of postseason action, the power forward position remains pretty thin for daily fantasy. I'm not crazy about a majority of the value options at the four spot, so it would definitely be wise to spend up for Paul Millsap. Millsap has posted three double-doubles in five games of this series, and is coming off an impressive 21 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal performance in Game 5. Game 6 moves to Atlanta where the Hawks need a win to stay alive.

Also Consider: Derrick Favors - PF, vs LAC ($5,800)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

DeAndre Jordan - C, @ UTA ($7,800)

We already know about Blake Griffin's injury and Chris Paul's outstanding play in the postseason thus far. But it seems that the impressive play of DeAndre Jordan has been overshadowed by both. In an effort to pick up the slack and keep the Clippers in this series, Jordan has posted a double-double in all five games, and is averaging at least one block per contest. With the Clippers hoping to force a Game 7 and a trip back to Los Angeles, look for the big man to make it six in a row.

Also Consider: Cristiano Felicio - C, vs BOS ($3,000)
