This is the time that you have to check starting lineups 200 times before the games start because teams tend to rest their starters out of nowhere. While this does get a bit annoying and kills fantasy teams at times, it could also lead to a ton of great value plays.

Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/9/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.

Without wasting anymore time, here are the picks!

DraftKings DFS Guards

 

Russell Westbrook (at SAC, $10,500)

The Thunder have been resting players, so make sure Westbrook is playing before lineups lock. If he’s starting, he makes a great option against one of the worst defenses in the NBA. He’s averaging nearly 60 fantasy points per game against the Kings, and he’s also averaging a triple double against them. They don’t have anyone that is going to be able to slow him down, and he can be used in all leagues.

Andrew Wiggins (at POR, $6,400)

Wiggins struggled a bit in his last game, but he was on fire before that. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 23.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. He gets a good matchup against the Blazers, who love to push the pace in games and have struggled defensively at times this season. Wiggins has consistently been hitting value, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Tim Fraizer (vs PHO, $5,200)

Frazier has been given an opportunity to play big minutes for the Pelicans because of a ton of injuries, and he has been playing exceptionally well. Over the last four games, he’s averaging 16.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 9.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. He’s going to continue playing big minutes tonight, and he gets a great matchup against one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Frazier can be used in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

LeBron James (at CHI, $10,000)

James recently rested, which means he’s likely going to be playing tonight. He stated a few games ago that he was in playoff mode before dominating everyone he was playing against. He was consistently scoring 50 fantasy points with the upside for 60+ fantasy points. He gets a great matchup against the Bulls, who have really struggled against the small forward this season, and James can be used in all leagues.

Paul Millsap (vs BOS, $8,200)

Millsap has been on fire recently, as he has scored 40+ fantasy points in seven of his last eight games. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 14.6 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 3.6 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game. He gets a good matchup against the Celtics, who have struggled against big men at times this season. Millsap has the ability to contribute in each of the five categories at an elite level, and he can be used in all leagues.

Luke Babbitt (vs PHO, $5,300)

Babbitt is playing big minutes for the injured Pelicans team, and he has been on fire over the last four games. Over that span, he’s averaging 35.3 fantasy points per game. He can score, rebound the ball, and assist to his teammates, which gives him great upside. He gets a great matchup against the Suns, who have struggled on defense the entire season. Luke Babbitt is too cheap tonight, and he can be used in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

Karl-Anthony Towns (at POR, $8,800)

KAT has dominated his rookie season, and the only thing left is to finish strong. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 44.1 fantasy points per game, which is right on par with what he’s averaging against the Blazers this season. Portland has really struggled against the center this season, as they struggle to rebound the ball. KAT can be used in all leagues on the smaller slate tonight.
