DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (4/22/16): NBA DFS Advice

By Keith Allison from Hanover, MD, USA (LeBron James) [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

There haven't been many surprises in the playoffs yet, which is disappointing. Hopefully at least one team pulls off the upset early in the playoffs.

Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/22/16. 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

 

Jeff Teague (at BOS, $6,800)

Teague recently received a price bump, but he still has more than enough upside to exceed value. He dominated the Celtics in the first game of the series before struggling in the second game. I’m expecting Teague to get back on track tonight, as he’s going to have to heat up if the Hawks want to make a deep playoff run. He’s a double double threat each night, and he’s a great option.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (vs CLE, $5,200)

KCP continues to be underpriced in the playoffs. He has scored 30+ fantasy points in each of his first two games, and that likely won’t change tonight. He’s playing huge minutes for the Pistons, and he is shooting as much as he wants. He can also add stats in each of the other four categories, and KCP is one of the safer options on the smaller slate.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

LeBron James (at DET, $10,700)

James received a price bump for the playoffs, which many people expected. He has tremendous upside to go along with a great floor. He has played well against the Pistons this season, and he will be able to score at will again tonight. James has the ability to triple double every time he steps on the court, and he’s a great option tonight.

Kent Bazemore (at BOS, $5,600)

Bazemore is one of the streakiest players in the NBA, Luckily, he’s on fire going into the playoffs. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 32.3 fantasy points per game, including a couple terrible games. He can scored 40+ fantasy points on any given night, and the Celtics have really struggled against the small forward this season. Bazemore is too cheap, and he can be used in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

Al Horford (at BOS, $7,800)

Horford is one of the hottest players in the NBA playoffs, and he’s averaging 40.9 fantasy points per game over the last 10 days. He gets a great matchup against the Celtics, who are undersized at center and they have really struggled against the position tonight. I generally use Horford more in GPPs, but he can be used in all leagues on the small slate.
