DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (4/8/16): NBA DFS Advice

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

We get another slate with the Nets, which means you should be fading Thomas Robinson at your own risk tonight.

Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/8/16. 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

 

John Wall (at DET, $9,500)

Wall is questionable, so check his status before the games starts. The Wizards are still in playoff contention, and Detroit is the team they are competing against. That makes this game extremely important, and John Wall is going to take the game over. He has been playing well recently, and he isn’t priced all that high for his upside. He can be used in all leagues.

J.J. Barea (vs MEM, $6,500)

Barea has been on fire since Deron Williams has been hurt, and that will continue tonight. Over the last 10 days, Barea is averaging 41.2 fantasy points per game. Barea has scored 35+ fantasy points in six of his last seven contests, and he gets a great matchup against the Grizzlies tonight. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Shane Larkin (at CHA, $4,600)

Larkin continues to be underpriced, as he has scored 20+ fantasy points in nine consecutive games, including three games with 30+ fantasy points. He’s averaging 8.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game over the last 10 days. He’s playing a larger role in the offense with Thad Young and Brook Lopez out, and Larkin can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at BOS, $9,700)

Alphabet is back on fire, as he has scored 54.5, 56.25, and 60.75 fantasy points in his last three games. He triple doubled in one of those games, and he’s a triple double threat every time he steps on the court. He gets a good matchup against the Celtics, who have struggled defensively at times this season, and Alphabet can be used in all leagues.

Kawhi Leonard (at DEN, $8,000)

Leonard gets a great matchup against the Nuggets, who have really struggled against the small forward this season, and they also love pushing the pace in games. Leonard is averaging over 45 fantasy points per game against the Nuggets this season, and he should have no problems dominating again tonight. Leonard can be used in all leagues.

Thomas Robinson (at CHA, $5,500)

Robinson is playing bigger minutes for the Nets with Thad Young and Brook Lopez out for the season. Robinson has been on fire when playing big minutes, as he’s averaging 37.3 fantasy points per game over the last 10 days. He has scored 40+ fantasy points in three of his last five games, and you should fade Robinson at your own risk tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

Nikola Vucevic (vs MIA, $7,100)

Vucevic continues to be underpriced since returning from injury. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 41.2 fantasy points in only 26.4 minutes per game. This isn’t an ideal matchup, but Vucevic is consistent exceeding value. He has scored 42.75 and 50.5 fantasy points in his last two games, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
