NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel Basketball Advice for 4/23/16

 

This is a special day and night for the NBA playoffs. Instead of two of three games, there are four.

Finally, there are actually a few players to decide from. Let's take a look.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/23/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on FanDuel.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Dwyane Wade (at CHA, $7,600)

There are a number of solid guard options on the board tonight, including Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul, but Dwyane Wade is the best for his price tag. Wade is much cheaper than the other elite options, but he has shown time and time again that he can compete with the best guards in the league. In his last game, he posted over 45 fantasy points in 32 minutes of action, almost double-doubling with 28 points. The Charlotte Hornets do not have a great defensive team, and Wade is going to continue to play big minutes in the playoffs. During the season, he took breaks after playing big minutes, but that will not be the case tonight. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Raymond Felton (vs OKC, $5,600)

Raymond Felton is a very consistent guard option for 50/50 contests tonight. His price tag is very reasonable, and he has over 30 fantasy points in two straight games now. In the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks have been relying on him heavily. In his last two games, he has played 77 minutes total. In the second game of the series, he double-doubled with 21 points and 11 rebounds. He also has a great natural ability to steal the ball. He has huge upside, and he has been rather consistent of recent as well. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Dirk Nowitzki (vs OKC, $6,900)

Speaking of the Dallas Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki is always worth a look in the playoffs. He is one of the better pressure players in the league, and he is seeing well over 30 minutes per game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In his last game, he scored 16 points, grabbed six rebounds, dished out five assists, and posted over 35 fantasy points. His price tag is much lower than other forward options like Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, and Paul George, and while his floor may not be as high, his ceiling sure is. Nowizki is definitely at the end of the road with his career, but he has a few more great games left in him. Use him in tournaments for the most part tonight.

Al-Farouq Aminu (at IND, $5,500)

Al-Farouq Aminu showed sparks of greatest in a few games this season, but tonight, he can be used in 50/50 contests due to his consistency. In his last two games, he has 26 and 35 minutes. This allowed him to rack up over 25 fantasy points in both games. The Indiana Pacers are not a very solid defensive team, so Aminu should score rather easily. He double-doubled in the first game of the series with 10 points and 12 rebounds. In the second game, he was one point shy of another double-double. It is likely that he will double-double tonight, and it is very hard to find cheap forward options. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments, as the huge upside Aminu is lying dormant somewhere deep down.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Jonas Valanciunas (at IND, $6,400)

Jonas Valanciunas gets a great matchup tonight against the Indiana Pacers, and he has as much upside as any center option on the board. Two games ago, he posted over 45 fantasy points in 31 minutes of action. The Pacers are not going to keep him down, and his price tag is much lower than both DeAndre Jordan and Hassan Whiteside. It is more likely that Whiteside scores 40 plus fantasy points, but J.V. has the ability to do it for a fraction of the cost. This is all about whether or not the fantasy owner is able to stomach the risk. Roster J-Val in tournaments and hope he has one of his better games.
