DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (5/6/16): NBA DFS Advice

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

Who would have guessed that the Warriors would still be dominating without Stephen Curry? Well, I guess that was kind of expected, but it still shows their unbelievable depth as a team.

Okay, back to business. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 5/6/16. 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

 

Russell Westbrook (vs SA, $10,800) 

If the Thunder are going to upset that Spurs, Westbrook is going to have to have the best series of his NBA career. He isn't going to come cheap, but he has scored 59+ fantasy points in three of his last four games. He has been a slightly better player at home this season, as well. Westbrook has triple double potential every time he steps on the court, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Danny Green (at OKC, $4,000) 

Green is a cheap way to get a part of the Spurs offense, as they get a boost in tempo against the Thunder. Green has the green light from beyond the arc, and he has great scoring potential. He hasn't been playing that many minutes this postseason, but he played 36 minutes in the Spurs last loss, which means he will likely be staying in if the game is close. He has scored 20+ fantasy points in three of his last four games, and he's a great option tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

LaMarcus Aldridge (at OKC, $8,700) 

The Spurs are going to need to give Aldridge the ball if they want to knock off the Thunder this round. Ridge is as hot as any player in the NBA right now, as he has scored 50+ fantasy points in each of his last two games. He scored 38 and 41 real points in those games, and he can be used in all leagues for his price tag tonight.

Paul Millsap (vs CLE, $8,600) 

The Hawks recently said that they felt like the Cavs disrespected them in the last game because of how many three pointers when shot in a blowout. That generally means the losing team will come out with a ton of passion and nothing to lose. Millsap is generally the Hawks player that takes games over, as he scored 79.25 fantasy points against the Celtics in the first round. He's best suited for GPPs, though.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

Steven Adams (vs SA, $5,200) 

The center options are limited tonight, but Adams is cheap and has tons of upside. He scored 37.75 fantasy points in their last game, and he will likely be locked into big minutes for Oklahoma City again tonight. Adams has double double potential every time he steps on the court, and he makes a great option in all leagues tonight.
