DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/25/16

Monday's card is packed with a lot of intriguing matchups, one consisting of the league's two best teams; a potential preview of this season's Western Conference finals. The Sacramento Kings are also set to take the court, which usually means an abundance of points and stats spread across the board.

Tonight's lineup features two of the NBA's best point guards, several stacks, and plenty of value plays.

Check out my Daily NBA Picks for DraftKings, 1/25/16.

 

Introducing RotoBaller's Daily Fantasy Basketball Premium Subscription

Get an edge on your NBA DFS competition with cutting edge tools, projections, lineup picks, and key stats. Our NBA DFS Premium Subscription includes our DFS Value Picks Tool, Daily NBA Projections, and our DFS Cheat Sheet with Key Lineup Picks to help you win DFScash games and GPPs.

We offer weekly, monthly or seasonal Premium NBASubscriptions.

 

DraftKings DFS Point Guards

Kemba Walker (at SAC, $8,600)

Walker is the recent owner of two 70+ fantasy point performances in four games, one of which exceeded 80 fantasy points (52 points, nine rebounds, eight assists). The Charlotte Hornets visit the Sacramento Kings, in a matchup between two teams that score a lot of points and play at a high tempo. The Kings also give up the most points a night in the league, and have relinquished a lot of fantasy points to point guards this season. Walker should be considered for any lineup.

Rajon Rondo (vs CHA, $8,500) 

It might be hard to make room for both Rondo and Walker but it's worth giving each of them a look, especially since they will be pitted against each other on Monday. Rondo has been on a fantasy tear, dropping over 40 fantasy points in four straight, and in eight of his last ten. He's also the recipient of two straight triple-doubles, and is nearly automatic for at least double-double each night. Rondo versus Walker will be a lot of fun to watch, and is a DFS owner's dream face-off.

 

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

Avery Bradley (at WAS, $5,600)

The Washington Wizards have given up an abundance of fantasy points to shooting guards this season. Bradley is very affordable, and can prove to be a steal for his price if he continues to produce the way he has been. In his last three contests, Bradley has posted 36.75, 24.0, and 40.5 fantasy points. Bradley also pulls the trigger from downtown often, beneficial playing against the Wizards who own the highest opponent three point field goal percentage in the league.

Manu Ginobli (at GS, $4,700)

Ginobli will look to help the shorthanded Spurs against the defending champions. Fantasy owners are hoping this game will be more competitive than the Warriors/Cavaliers overly-hyped contest a couple weeks ago. This is the first matchup of the two NBA powerhouses this season, but could be a little preview of future playoff meetings. Ginobli is coming off his best regular and fantasy performance of the season, scoring 20 points while tallying five rebounds, five assists, four steals, and two blocks in only 19 minutes played, all resulting in 45.0 fantasy points. It's unlikely Ginobli will duplicate that performance, but look for the veteran shooting to be a part of San Antonio's offensive attack.

 

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards

Danilo Gallinari (vs ATL, $7,000)

The Atlanta Hawks are one of several teams that don't defend the small forward position too well. Luckily for Gallinari. He is coming off a 3o point scoring performance and has been a consistent fantasy option over his last ten, posting over 30 fantasy points in eight games over that span, three of which exceeded 40 fantasy points. Gallinari pulls the trigger often, from the field and from behind the arc, and sees the court for well over 30 minutes a night.

Justise Winslow (at CHI, $4,400)

Luol Deng recently missed action on Friday against the Toronto Raptors. In his absence, Winslow played 41 minutes, scored nine points, and grabbed two rebounds, resulting in a solid 23.0 fantasy points. It was Winslow's second straight fantasy performance of over 20 points, and could very well post a third consecutive against the Bulls. Chicago is one of the worst teams at guarding the small forward position and have given up the most fantasy points to the three spot this season. If Deng sits for a second night in a row, the odds of Winslow's continued production are even greater.

 

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

Chris Bosh (at CHI, $7,700)

The Bulls simply aren't good at defending forwards this season, and have allowed plenty of fantasy points to power forwards as well as small forwards. Bosh has not been wowing fantasy owners with explosive performances of late, but the veteran has been consistent all season, and recently, posting over 30 and close to 40 fantasy points in seven of ten games. Bosh is always a scoring and rebounding threat and should be involved in a competitive contest between two good Eastern Conference teams. The Heat are on a four game losing streak and will look to Bosh to help end the snide.

Marvin Williams (at SAC, $4,800)

Williams has put together a couple of solid fantasy performances lately, including two straight games of double-digit rebounds. Williams is an affordable option, facing a team that essentially plays no defense at all. He has posted 30+ fantasy points in three of five games. We can always count on the Kings to aid in boosting player stat lines while lighting up the scoreboard themselves.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Boban Marjanovic (vs GS, $3,500)

Tim Duncan will miss Monday's premium matchup between the Spurs and the Warriors due to soreness in his right knee. Boris Diaw will likely sneak into the starting lineup, but Marjanovic should see a boost in minutes. When Duncan last missed action on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns, Marjanovic posted a double-double, scoring 17 points and grabbing 13 boards in 22 minutes (35.75 fantasy points). Any time the 7'3" center has seen over ten minutes of court-time this season, he has produced significantly for his low price, specifically earlier in the month when he played 13 and 19 minutes in back-to-back games, tallying 21.75 and 23.75 fantasy points.
