FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (4/11/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Zion Williamson - New Orleans Pelicans

Dennis Clausen highlights the top FanDuel NBA DFS lineup picks for 4/11/21, and a couple of sleepers to consider while building daily rosters.

We had another good one on our hands on Saturday, complete with some fantastic performances from the likes of Isaiah Hartenstein, Gary Trent Jr., Donovan Mitchell, and Enes Kanter. Out in Brooklyn, we also saw a potential NBA Finals preview as the Nets hosted the Lakers. Although Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and James Harden didn’t play, the game was filled with excitement, thanks in part to a verbal scrum between Dennis Schroder and Kyrie Irving that led to both men getting ejected.

As we close out the weekend, things continue to heat up as we head toward the postseason. Keep in mind; things will also begin to get trickier at this point, so paying attention to back-to-back sets and spreads can mean life or death, primarily with teams looking to give guys as much rest as possible.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/11/21. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. You can also check out DraftKings lineup picks and injury news before lineups lock. Good luck, RotoBallers. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @DennisMClausen and say hello.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Zach LaVine, SG - @ MIN ($8,300)

LaVine’s asking price is comical. He had 55.7 fantasy points against Toronto on Thursday and then followed that up with a 50-point effort against Atlanta on Friday night. Vegas loves Chicago on Sunday evening, and you should too. The slam dunk extraordinaire will need 41.5 fantasy points to hit value at that cost, which is easily attainable considering how well he has played lately.

Tomas Satoransky, PG - @ MIN ($5,600)

The Bulls have the highest implied total on the night, so Satoransky is in an excellent spot to exceed his value. He usually plays around 30 minutes or so per game and has double-digit assists in two of his last four outings. Keep him on the radar if you are running low on cap space.

Reggie Jackson, PG - vs. DET ($5.300)

Kawhi Leonard will get some rest on Sunday, and Patrick Beverley won’t play either after fracturing his left hand during Thursday’s victory over the Suns. To make matters worse, Rajon Rondo is a GTD, and if he doesn’t play either, Jackson should get all the action he can handle. He had 26 points, seven assists, and two steals against Houston a few nights ago, and there is a good chance he has another strong showing against Detroit on Sunday.

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Zion Williamson, PF - @ CLE ($9,700)

Has Williamson finally taken the step to elite status? It would appear so based on how great he has played. Behind the Bulls, the Pelicans are projected to score the most points on Sunday evening. New Orleans will continue to be without Lonzo Ball and Nickeil Alexander-Walker against the Cavaliers, so Zion may continue to help himself to their leftovers. He took 28 shots in his last one out, and while his shooting efficiency isn’t the best, the volume can’t be ignored.

Brandon Ingram, SF - @ CLE ($8,000)

We will stay in New Orleans as Ingram is another stud who should see an uptick in production without Lonzo Ball and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Against the 76ers the other night, the 23-year-old was the second-leading scorer on the team behind Zion Williamson. Make sure Ingram is in your lineup, as he should continue to get a bunch of looks at the rim against the Cavaliers.

Jaden McDaniels, PF - vs. CHI ($4,800)

With the Timberwolves down Malik Beasley and Jaylen Nowell, the team isn’t as deep as it could be. McDaniels is a guy who has benefitted and continues to see the floor consistently on a routine basis. Although he hasn’t scored more than 22.4 fantasy points in each of his last three games, the upside is there for sure in a fast-paced contest with Chicago on Sunday night.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Nikola Vucevic, C - @MIN ($9,600)

Vucevic is one of the best centers in the league and seems to have meshed just fine with his new teammates. He is averaging over 40 fantasy points per game in April and has historically play well against Minnesota throughout his career. If you are looking for a less costly option than the other alternatives, Vucevic is your guy.

Steven Adams, C - @ CLE ($5,400)

If you aren’t looking to spend Vucevic money at the center spot on Sunday, check out Adams at only $5,400. He doesn’t play a ton of minutes, but he will likely get some fantasy points in a short window, especially since the Cavs are without Larry Nance Jr. and Jarrett Allen on the defensive end.
