Sam Nedimyer highlights the top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for 4/19/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings NBA DFS lineups.

Just two games on tap for the NBA Playoff schedule, but that doesn't mean there aren't many possibilities for various lineups. There is definitely a way to create a nice stars and “scrubs” lineup, soldiering the best matchups at each position. But how often do those lineups hit. I intend to have at least some exposure to a lineup that is way under budget. At least it will be fun.

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 4/19/16. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

Without wasting anymore time, let's get down to it!

DraftKings DFS Point Guards

Jeff Teague (vs BOS, $6,600)

Throughout the regular season, DFSers made it a point to avoid attacking the Boston backcourt in most situations. Then Game One happened and Jeff Teague went off. Normally the law of averages would dictate that Teague cannot possibly duplicate his 23 point, 12 assist performance from the weekend, but right now it seems like it is just him, Paul Millsap, and Al Horford on the court for the Hawks right now.

Marcus Smart (at ATL, $4,500)

The injury to Avery Bradley has already forced him to sit out Tuesday’s game, so Marcus Smart and Evan Turner will both figure to have more prominent roles in the offense. Smart is already in a good spot picking on the overmatched Dennis Schroder, and now he gets to attack a slower Kyle Korver. It’ll be interesting to see how Smart and Isaiah Thomas will co-exist on the floor in these playoffs.

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

Vince Carter (at SA, $3,100)

I kind of don’t even want to recommend another shooting guard. In fact, I won’t. Danny Green is an option but the Spurs have plenty of guys that can score, Manu Ginobili is showing his age, Kyle Korver hasn’t shown that he is capable of knocking down treys like he did last year, and Evan Turner is a bit overpriced. By process of elimination, the winner is Vince Carter. Get used to it.

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards

Kawhi Leonard (vs MEM, $8,800)

The video of Lance Stephenson losing his cool- or whatever Lance had- was typical Kawhi. He makes dudes frustrated on the defensive end and then he capitalizes on the offensive end. He should have a nice full stat sheet on Tuesday night, provided the Spurs don’t pummel the Grizzlies again and he loses court time.

Jae Crowder (at ATL, $6,100)

Spend up at the swing position. Crowder and Kawhi are leaps and bounds above the field, even if Matt Barnes and Co. play 40 minutes each. The Celtics were able to open up their guards in Game One against the Hawks, freeing up Crowder ever so much so that he became a fantasy factor. I expect Brad Stevens to continue his magical ways.

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

Paul Millsap (vs BOS, $8,600)

The only one that can slow down Paul Millsap right now is Paul Millsap. Seriously, the dude is on some type of tear stretching for nearly ten days now. The Celtics are going to have to come up with something quick, because they could surely find themselves down 2-0 to Al Horford (read further) and Millsap.

Zach Randolph (at SA, $6,200)

Let me be clear. Horford is the chalk play at the four. But Z-Bo is an interesting tourney option. He looked out of sync in game one and is probably sick of hearing how Tim Duncan outplayed him from the jump. Randolph strikes me as someone who takes things personally.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Al Horford (vs BOS, $7,300)

Coming seemingly out of nowhere, Horford put an exclamation point on his Game One performance. Boston had no answer for Horford, which has pretty much been the case all year with big men. The center spot Tuesday night is and sweet other position in which there is a and seen other clear cut favorite. And it comes in the form of Horford.
