The top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on April 4th, 2023. Max Kulish provides NBA DFS analysis and sleeper picks for building optimal DFS rosters.

Welcome back, RotoBallers! The NBA takes center stage again now that March Madness is over (Congrats to UConn!). Tonight we've got a massive thirteen-game slate, headlined by the TNT doubleheader.

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Steph Curry - PG, GS vs OKC ($10,600 DK, $10,200 FD)

Running it back with Steph tonight, and the similarities to last week are eerie. This time, the Warriors are coming off a fourth-quarter choke against the Nuggets, but again, this is another huge game for the Warriors' playoff implications. In one last act of Deja Vu, the Warriors will yet again play the game with the highest implied total on the slate (243) so I want to have exposure to this environment.

Delon Wright - SG, WAS vs MIL ($5,500 DK, $6,600 FD)

The Wizards are still thin at guard, with Monte Morris being the latest addition to the injury report. Wright has seen an increase across the board in statistical output and he's posted 31.25 and 41.25 DK points in the games Morris has missed. Wright is a locked-in starter for a very reasonable price.

Julian Champagnie, PG, SA @ PHX ($3,800 DK $3,800 FD)

Champagnie is a young player getting his shot to showcase himself late in a lost season. He's posted DK scores of 20,75 and 36.5 in his last two games, and with the Spurs being huge underdogs yet again (+18.5 at the time of writing), I can see him getting solid minutes yet again. Champagnie has been good on a per-minute basis, so if he plays, chances are he'll deliver.

Others to consider: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($10,000 DK, $10,600 FD), Shaquille Harrison ($3,900 DK, $4,300 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Giannis Antetokounmpo - PF/C, MIL @ WAS ($11,400 DK, $11,900 FD)

The Bucks can clinch the #1 seed in the East with a win tonight. Giannis is simply unstoppable and will be up against a Wizards team with little interior defensive presence. There is some risk of blowout according to the spread (Bucks are 11.5-point favorites), but Giannis is able to put up big numbers in limited minutes. If the Wizards can keep this game close, Giannis can absolutely break the slate.

Brandon Ingram - SF, NO vs SAC ($9,300 DK, $9,900 FD)

Ingram has been remarkably consistent over the last four weeks or so. He's scored no less than 22 real points or 43 fantasy points since March 14, and with the Pelicans still in the thick of things in the West, I expect another heavy workload for Ingram.

Eugene Omoruyi - PF/C, DET vs MIA ($4,400 DK, $4,500 FD)

Omoruyi has posted solid stat lines when given minutes, and the good news is the Pistons currently have four other forwards listed as out for tonight's game. I can only assume that Omoruyi will see 25+ minutes (minimum) given the lack of active bodies for the Pistons.

Others to consider: Larui Markkannen ($8,800 DK, $9,000 FD),  Doug McDermott ($3,700 DK, $4,400 FD)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Anthony Davis - C, LAL @ UTA ($10,900 DK, $11,400 FD)

Davis has been lights out over the last two weeks. He's averaging over 30 PPG during that span and gets a great matchup tonight. The Jazz rank 25th against Centers, and they've recently lost breakout big man Walker Kessler, which should clear the way for Davis to continue his torrid streak.

Mark Williams - C, CHA vs TOR  ($5,900 DK, $5,700 FD)

Williams has been getting the starting nod when healthy, and with PJ Washington going down with an injury, there's only less competition in the Hornets front court. Williams has been an excellent rebounder, and with all the extra opportunity he has a legit chance to post a double-double.

Others to consider: Jakob Poeltl ($6,500 DK, $6,900 FD)
