Demetri Raftopoulos highlights the top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for 4/11/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings NBA DFS lineups.

My favorite stacks of the night are the Houston Rockets against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Sacramento Kings against the Phoenix Suns. Both games involved four teams that don't play a ton of defense, and should be very high scoring, resulting in a bunch of fantasy points.

On a night with nine games, it's definitely important to stack your team with the two big guys listed below. The variety of value options also listed below will help you do so.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/11/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.

DraftKings DFS Point Guards 

Russell Westbrook (vs LAL, $10,300)

Do we ever need a reason to pick the energizer bunny out of Oklahoma City? Lately, he has surpassed Kevin Durant as the Thunder's best player and has been an absolute beast for Daily Fantasy all season. Westbrook was rested earlier last week and is likely looking to head into extra basketball on a roll. He is one of the few consistent triple-double treats and can break out anytime, against anybody.

Ronnie Price (vs SAC, $4,200) 

Price will finish the season with heavy point guard duties for the Phoenix Suns. He hasn't been putting up crazy numbers but has been doing just enough to put a tiny yet important dent in a Daily Fantasy lineup, while freeing up plenty of cap space. In his last game, Price dropped nine points, five assists, three rebounds, one block, and three steals in 27 minutes of court time.

Price heads into one of the best matchups for any Daily Fantasy player, facing the very generous Sacramento Kings. The Kings have allowed the most points per game in the league and have struggled defending point guards all season.

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards 

Kobe Bryant (at OKC, $4,800) 

This is the last time Kobe will be facing either Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook, and his second to last game ever. Kobe recently dropped 34 points against the Boston Celtics and we can expect him to want to go out on top, producing in a way that has made him famous and one of the best players to ever touch the court. Kobe has been streaky this year as he has battled some minor injuries but is an affordable option on Monday and should be used more in tournaments.

J.R. Smith (vs ATL, $4,500)  

Smith is another guy that won't blow you away but has a pretty high ceiling considering how often he pulls the trigger from the field and specifically behind the arc. Smith's last time against the Atlanta Hawks, he played 39 minutes and scored 12 points, grabbed two boards, dished out three and nailed four from downtown on nine attempts.

The Cleveland Cavaliers could potentially see the Hawks at some point in the playoffs as this should serve as a nice, competitive preview of what could be.

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards 

Luke Babbitt (vs CHI, $5,500) 

Babbitt has filled in extremely well for Anthony Davis and Ryan Andesrson and should be used in all formats tonight. He has scored in double-digits in eight straight games and has flirted with a couple double-doubles. He won't blow you away with his performances but also pulls the trigger consistently from downtown and spreads stats generously. He enters a solid matchup against the falling Chicago Bulls and should have no trouble producing against them.

Trevor Ariza (at MIN, $5,900)

Ariza's minutes have teetered steadily around 35-40 minutes a night, and despite a recent surge by Michael Beasley, is making it clear why he's the Rockets starting small forward. Ariza is a big threat from three point range and always has a ceiling as he's capable of breaking out for 20 points each night. He also spreads stats generously and heads into a solid matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Expect this game to be high scoring.

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

Mike Scott (at CLE, $3,000) 

Scott is a very cheap option that can do just enough for Daily Fantasy lineups. He's displayed the ability to score in double-digits and spreads a nice amount of stats for his price. With the playoffs inching closer and closer, the Hawks might consider resting Paul Millsap at times throughout the game, giving Scott a chance at more minutes and more fantasy points. He's also good for around four attempts from downtown per game.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Karl-Anthony Towns (vs BOS, $8,900) 

Big KAT is constantly a big threat on the court and in Daily Fantasy. Towns has posted 14 straight double-doubles and is capable of spreading plenty of other stats in the assists, blocks, and steals categories. He enters an interesting matchup against the Boston Celtics. With the Timberwolves on the rise, looking towards the future, expect them and Towns to end the season the right way.
