DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (6/13/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

June 13, 2022

The top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on June 13, 2022. Juan Carlos Blanco provides NBA DFS analysis and sleeper picks for building optimal DFS rosters.

Following a weekend pause, an instant classic of an NBA Finals resumes on Monday night at Chase Center. There have already been plenty of remarkable individual performances from several of the star players on either team over the first four games, and the fact the series is currently knotted at 2-2 should only serve to draw out the very best for the Celtics and Warriors in Game 5.

With clearly delineated roles on either side and very tight rotations being deployed, the roadmap to DFS success seems to be fairly straightforward once again Monday.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/13/22.

Remember to monitor the NBA injury report as the slate can completely change before lineup lock at 9:00 pm EST. Good luck, RotoBallers!

DraftKings and FanDuel Captain/MVP - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Jayson Tatum, BOS ($16,500 DK; $16,000 FD)

Tatum has already vowed to be better in Game 5 after shooting under 40.0 percent in back-to-back games and three of the first four contests of the series overall. There's no doubt the star forward has the talent to make good on his vow to be more efficient, and even with his struggles, he's still offered plenty of fantasy production through both rebounds and assists while also contributing a trio of blocks in Game 4. He's also upped his fantasy production in each game against Golden State, and he's encouragingly taken 23 shot attempts apiece in the last two games while posting a team-high 29.6 percent usage rate.

Stephen Curry, GSW ($17,100 DK; $15,500 FD)

Curry has been lethal all series, averaging 34.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.0 steals per game while shooting 50.0 percent, including 49.0 percent from three-point range. The long-range marksman has been virtually unstoppable even when frequently dealing with Marcus Smart, and even the foot injury he suffered in Game 3 couldn't prevent him from racking up a series-high 43 points and 10 boards in Game 4. Back on his home floor in Game 5 and having averaged 31.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.0 steals in Games 1 and 2 at home, he's an excellent option once again for the top multiplier spot.

DraftKings and FanDuel Utility Plays - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Jaylen Brown, BOS ($10,000 DK; $14,500 FD)

Brown is at a level just below Tatum and Curry, and he'll enter Game 5 having put up 22.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists over the first four games of the series. Brown's put up between 16 and 23 shot attempts in each contest as well, and he's had just one truly poor shooting effort thus far against the Warriors' stingy defense. The talented wing has posted a 58.5 true shooting percentage and generated a 26.2 percent usage rate and 12.5 player efficiency rating on the road in the postseason, so he's firmly in play again Monday night as a utility play on DK or a STAR or PRO multipler spot on FD.

Andrew Wiggins, GSW ($7,600 DK; $12,500 FD)

Wiggins surprisingly dominated on the boards in Game 4, putting up a whopping 16 rebounds to go along with 17 points on his way to 43.5 DK/40.2 FD points. The 2014 first overall pick is averaging over 30 fantasy points per game on each site during the series on the strength of a well-rounded 16.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steal, and with so many resources being devoted to slowing down Curry and Klay Thompson drawing a fair amount of attention as well, Wiggins and his ability to shoot from anywhere on the floor could lead to another strong fantasy return.

Others to consider: Marcus Smart, BOS ($8,200 DK; $12,000 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Value Plays - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Klay Thompson, GSW ($7,400 DK; $11,500 FD)

Thompson has had his share of scuffles finding the net during the series, as he's shooting only 35.8 percent overall. However, his ability to break out in any given night is above question, and he's still averaging a solid 17.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steal over the first four games despite his inefficiency. Thompson has been aggressive over the last three games in particular with between 17 and 19 shot attempts in that span, so he's a viable value play at his salaries.

 Al Horford, BOS ($7,000 DK; $10,500 FD)

Horford's offense can certainly see its fair share of fluctuation, but the big man usually finds a way to make up for it with a contribution in rebounds, assists, and blocks. Horford has scored over 20 fantasy points in all but two postseason games dating back to Game 4 of the first-round sweep of the Nets, and he's shooting 58.6 percent, including 56.3 percent from three-point range, over the first four games of the series. Notably, he also owns the highest offensive rating (115.9) and true shooting percentage (70.8) of any Celtics starter on the road during the postseason, enhancing his already solid case as a value option.

Others to consider: Draymond Green, GSW ($6,800 DK; $11,000 FD); Derrick White, BOS ($6,400 DK; $8,500 FD)
