Dennis Clausen highlights the top FanDuel NBA DFS lineup picks for 4/29/19, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.
The playoffs continue with two games scheduled on Monday night. After a convincing win over the Sixers in Game 1, the Raptors will look to take Game 2 before the series heads back to the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday. The Blazers, who have been resting since Tuesday of last week, will kick off the series in Denver against the Nuggets, a team that needed seven games to finish off the Spurs with that series concluding on Saturday, leaving them with only a day to rest and prepare. In regards to Vegas, Philadelphia/Toronto features a projected overall score of 220 points, while Portland/Denver is listed at 216 points. Keep an eye on Enes Kanter throughout the day as he may not play as he continues to battle a shoulder injury.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Damian Lillard - PG, @ DEN ($10,000)
Lillard has been playing out of his mind in the playoffs and was responsible for one of the greatest moments in postseason history by draining a shot from deep to close out the series against the Thunder. Dame averaged 33 points and was shooting a ridiculous 48 percent from deep during the five games against Oklahoma City, leaving him with plenty of momentum as the Blazers begin the series against the Nuggets on Monday night. Make sure he is in your lineup.
Gary Harris - SG, vs. POR ($4,800)
Harris played 40 minutes in Game 7 against the Spurs, finishing the night with 11 points, five boards, and two blocks. Though his numbers aren't going to blow anyone out of the water, they will be good enough, especially if you are trying to roster a few studs while attempting to cut costs at the same time.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Kawhi Leonard - SF, vs. PHI ($9,700)
Leonard went nuts on Philadelphia in Game 1, finishing things up with 45 points on 16-23 shooting from the field in addition to 11 boards, two steals, and a block. He will continue to be dominant in Game 2, especially since the Sixers coaching staff isn't astute enough to form a plan to stop him.
J.J. Redick - SF, @ TOR ($4,500)
Redick is generously priced considering he will play heavy minutes in Game 2 while continuing to take an abundance of shots. While most of the Sixers starting unit struggled (Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Jimmy Butler) in Game 1, the veteran was potent offensively by scoring 17 points and shooting 5-for-12 from beyond the arc.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Nikola Jokic - C, vs. POR ($11,300)
The Joker averaged 55 fantasy points throughout the seven games against the Spurs, including a 77.9 fantasy point performance in Game 6 where he narrowly missed out on a triple-double by an assist. He will be matched up against Enes Kanter (more than likely), a player who is effective offensively, but sorely lacks on the defensive end. With Joel Embiid shooting around 35 percent from the field when playing against Marc Gasol, Jokic is a much more efficient option.
