FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (4/25/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

April 25, 2021

Dennis Clausen highlights the top FanDuel NBA DFS lineup picks for 4/25/21, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

It’s Sunday, and FanDuel has an abbreviated four-game slate to close out the weekend. We witnessed some fantastic performances on Saturday, specifically from Michael Porter Jr., who led the slate with 57.2 fantasy points, and Mason Plumlee, who was not far behind with 53.7. As the league heads toward the postseason, things are surely about to get even more interesting and complicated in the weeks ahead as it pertains to lineup construction.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/25/21. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also check out DraftKings lineup picks and injury news before lineups lock. Good luck, RotoBallers.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Stephen Curry, PG - vs. SAC ($9.800)

Curry has been on a roll lately and is averaging just over 38 points per game in April. The Warriors have the second-highest implied total on the slate, which is a good indicator that the former MVP could be in line for another healthy outing. Curry’s rostering cost is a joke on Sunday, with the only drawback here is if Golden State builds up a convincing lead, which may ultimately lead him to sit more than usual.

Delon Wright, PG - @ GS ($5,900)

Wright should be on the radar as he should benefit from De’Aaron Fox’s absence over the next few weeks. Although Tyrese Haliburton may see most of the minutes as the team’s starting point guard, Wright should still have enough opportunities to surpass his value. Before Friday night’s affair against the Timberwolves, the 28-year-old produced double-digit scoring in each of his previous three games.

Kevin Huerter, SG - vs. MIL ($5,700)

Huerter has been getting some additional minutes as a member of the starting unit. Trae Young will remain out on Sunday against the Bucks after spraining his ankle, so the former Terrapin should be on the radar. He is currently enjoying one of the best stretches in his young career as of late, averaging 14.2 points and shooting nearly 38 percent from distance in the month of April.

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Bogdan Bogdanovic, SF - vs. MIL ($7,300)

The Hawks are dealing with a plethora of injuries and will be without the services of Trae Young and possibly Clint Capela against the Bucks. Although there is still a shot that the big man will play, Bogdanovic should be in line to see more chances on the offensive end regardless. The 28-year-old led Atlanta in scoring the other night against the Heat, finishing with 21 points in addition to shooting 5-for-9 from deep.

John Collins, PF - vs. MIL ($6,900)

Collins finished just behind Bogdanovic in scoring against Miami on Friday night. Keep an eye on Clint Capela, who has been dealing with a bruise on his back after taking a fall during the week because if he can’t go, Collins has a chance to surpass his value.

Buddy Hield, SF - @ GS ($6,500)

De’Aaron Fox will miss a few weeks as he is the latest to be sidelined due to the league’s health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. Without its leading scorer, Hield should benefit the most from a +/- standpoint in a favorable matchup against the Warriors.

FanDuel DFS Centers

Mo Bamba, C - vs. IND ($5,500)

Wendell Carter Jr. may be out again on Sunday as he continues to battle soreness in his ankle. If he isn’t in the lineup, Bamba should be immediately considered for DFS lineups. He had 36.4 fantasy points against New Orleans on Thursday evening, and his outlook looks even more promising against the Pacers if Goga Bitadze and Domantas Sabonis are both sidelined.

Onyeka Okongwu, C - vs. MIL ($3,900)

Although he may be a popular option, Okongwu could easily smash his value without Clint Capela. He isn’t the most proficient scorer on the planet, but he can get after it on the glass and on the defensive end. The rookie is always a shaky option, but the upside is there for those running low on cap space.
