DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/10/23): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Stephen Curry - NBA DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Basketball

The top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on May 10, 2023. Juan Carlos Blanco provides NBA DFS analysis and sleeper picks for building optimal DFS rosters.

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We're set for another pair of important Game 5 clashes on Wednesday that could see both the Heat and Lakers move on.

Naturally, the Knicks and Warriors should be expected to do everything possible to avoid elimination, which makes the star players on those teams especially attractive from a fantasy perspective.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 5/10/23. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool as the slate can completely change before lineups lock.

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Stephen Curry - PG/SG, GSW vs. LAL ($10,100 DK, $10,500 FD)

There's plenty of heat on Curry for his critical misses late throughout this postseason. From a fantasy perspective, there's nothing to complain about when it comes to the future Hall of Famer's Game 4 production. The legendary marksman recorded 75.5 DK/71 FD points across 42 minutes and took a whopping 30 shots.

Despite that volume normally being an outlier, it could be replicated in Game 5 with Golden State facing elimination. The efficiency may certainly not be there, but I like Curry's chances of once again overdelivering with everything on the line.

Jalen Brunson, PG, NYK vs. MIA ($8,700 DK $9,000 FD)

The Knicks' performance overall in the semifinal round has been nothing short of disappointing, but Brunson has only gotten better as the series has unfolded. The prize offseason acquisition is averaging well north of 40 fantasy points per game on both sites against Miami.

He's coming off having tallied 57.5 DK/55.3 FD points over 44 minutes in Game 4 on the strength of a 32-point, 11-assist double-double. Similar to Curry, Brunson's usage should once again be through the roof in a do-or-die Game 5 for New York, especially since fellow star Julius Randle hasn't exactly been anywhere near his best.

ALSO CONSIDER: D'Angelo Russell, LAL at GSW ($6,200 DK, $6,400 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Jimmy Butler - SF/PF, MIA at NYK ($9,700 DK, $10,600 FD)

Butler's inclusion essentially speaks for itself, but we'll break down some of the raw numbers that make him a recommended play yet again on Wednesday. The veteran wing is once again expected to play through his ankle injury, and he just generated his most prolific performance of the series in Game 4 with a 27-point, 10-assist double-double that led to 58 DK/58.2 FD points.

Jimmy Buckets can be expected to once again take the bull by the horns and spearhead Miami's offense. The fact that New York is allowing the second-highest offensive efficiency rating to small forwards (25.1) only brightens Butler's prospects.

Andrew Wiggins - SF/PF, GSW vs. LAL ($6,400 DK, $6,300 FD)

Wiggins carries appealing salaries for a player that's eclipsed 30 fantasy points on either site seven times during the postseason, including one tally over 40. The veteran wing has a well-balanced line of 16.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 blocks during the postseason. Although Los Angeles has been stingy defensively overall in the postseason, they are allowing 38.6 percent three-point shooting on the road during the playoffs.

ALSO CONSIDER: LeBron James, LAL at GSW ($9,800 DK, $9,900 FD)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Anthony Davis - LAL at GSW ($10,600 DK, $11,300 FD)

Davis has been churning out jaw-dropping fantasy totals throughout the season, and he's posted three double-doubles in the first four games versus the Warriors. Kevon Looney being relegated to the bench over the last three games has likely helped Davis' rebounding numbers to a degree, but The Brow is naturally an excellent play under any circumstance. With five tallies of more than 60 fantasy points on either site already this postseason, Davis is firmly in play in a game L.A. needs to close out the series.

Draymond Green - C/PF, GSW vs. LAL ($6,300 DK, $6,700 FD)

Naturally, Green's motivation will be sky-high as well on the other side of the Lakers-Warriors matchup. The mercurial big man checks in having eclipsed 30 DK points in two of the first four games of the series -- he narrowly missed out in the third game with a tally of 29.5 -- and he went past the number on FD in three instances during that span.

The Lakers are surrendering the most rebounds (47.8) and most assists (28.0) per road game during the postseason of any team remaining in the playoffs as well, which makes Green all the more attractive.

ALSO CONSIDER: Bam Adebayo, MIA at NYK ($7,600 DK, $8,000 FD)
