Well, DeMarcus Cousins is shut down for the season in away games. The Sacramento Kings are away, so there are a few solid value options available in that easy game against the Denver Nuggets.

Read on to find out who they are.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/2/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on FanDuel.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Damian Lillard (vs MIA, $8,000)

Damian Lillard has not played well of recent, and his price has come down due to that. He has under 30 fantasy points in two straight games now, playing 29 minutes against the Sacramento Kings and 36 minutes against the Boston Celtics. The good news is that he is still Damian Lillard, so whatever the issue is, it is going to get fixed. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Miami Heat, and he can definitely be used in tournaments. In his last 10 games, he has over 35 fantasy points four times and over 40 fantasy points twice. Avoid Lillard in 50/50 contests for the most part until he proves to be a little more consistent.

Goran Dragic (at POR, $6,800)

Goran Dragic was dealing with an illness, but that did not keep him off of the court against the Los Angeles Lakers. Speaking of the Heat and Lakers game, check out the sneaky steal by Huertas. He hid behind the coach before swiping the ball from Dragic. Yes, that is what the Lakers are resorting to. Tonight, Dragic faces off against the Portland Trail Blazers, who are solid defensively. Even in a bad matchup, Dragic is worth a look in tournaments. He has over 35 fantasy points in half of his last 10 games. Roll him out until his price tag goes over $7,000.

Aaron Brooks (vs DET, $3,500)

It is seriously painful to recommend Aaron Brooks, but he is playing right around 20-25 minutes for the Chicago Bulls right now. He posted over 25 fantasy points in 23 minutes off the bench against the Atlanta Hawks. Unfortunately, he came back to down to Earth, posting only 12 and slightly under 10 fantasy points in his last two games. Tonight, he gets a solid matchup against the Detroit Pistons, and he should be able to take advantage of that, but he is about as inconsistent as it comes, so avoid him in 50/50 contests. Brooks is a tournament only player, even if he was seeing 40 minutes per game.

Kawhi Leonard (vs TOR, $8,500)

Kawhi Leonard is finally healthy, and he played extremely well in his first game back. Against the New Orleans Pelicans, he posted just shy of 40 fantasy points. Decent, right? Well, he did that in 22 minutes on the court. Tonight, he gets a solid matchup against the Toronto Raptors, and this game should stay close. That is always a plus with the San Antonio Spurs because then they are forced to play their starters big minutes. If Leonard sees over 30 minutes, he could easily post over 50 fantasy points. He is a very consistent player, and his price tag isn't ridiculous. Use him in all formats.

Nikola Mirotic (vs DET, $5,300)

Nikola Mirotic is really hot right now. In his last two games, he has 41 and 38.3 fantasy points respectively against the Indiana Pacers and Houston Rockets. He played 37 minutes against the Pacers and 38 minutes against the Rockets. He should continue to see big minutes tonight against the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are horrible against opposing big men, so Mirotic should continue his streak of great play. He does disappear from games from time to time, but he has been playing too well to avoid taking him in 50/50 contests. Use him in all formats tonight.

Willie Cauley-Stein (at DEN, $4,900)

After his recent suspension, it looks like DeMarcus Cousins is being shut down for the season away from home. Tonight, the Sacramento Kings are going to Denver to play the Nuggets, so Cousins will not be seeing the court. That means that Willie Cauley-Stein is likely going to start, or at least, he did last game. In three of his last four games, he has over 30 fantasy points, one of which he posted over 40 fantasy points. That was in 29 minutes against the Phoenix Suns. WCS has insane upside, and he is cheap enough to use in all formats, especially with Cousins out.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Kosta Koufos (at DEN, $3,900)

Kosta Koufos is entirely too cheap to avoid him tonight against the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets are horrendous against opposing centers, and Koufos is going to see around 30 minutes tonight. He should be used in all leagues. There is no reason to repeat all the things mentioned in the Willie Cauley-Stein recommendation, so just play him.
