FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (4/22/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

For those who celebrate, I hope everyone had a pleasant Easter. After an exciting four games on Sunday, the association features only two to kick off the week. Without any significant injuries to note, things can get quickly frustrating from a monetary standpoint, especially if you plan to have either Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden, as you build your lineup. In terms of Vegas, these two matchups feature a projected overall score of 218 points or less.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/22/19. 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 today's DraftKings lineup picks as well as NBA starting lineups.

Also, feel free to give me a follow on Twitter @Den_Clausen.  Good luck.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Donovan Mitchell - SG, vs. HOU ($9,200)

After a rough start to the series that saw Mitchell combine for only 29 points in the first two games, he bounced back in Game 3 by producing 34 points despite some rough shooting patches. Although he missed a shot from deep that would have sent this game into overtime, the team vowed that they would continue to support the 22-year-old as this game heads toward the potential final game in the series. Look for Mitchell to be heavily involved and the focal point of the offense as the Jazz look to steal a game before potentially heading back to Houston for Game 5.

George Hill - PG, vs. MIL ($4,900)

Hill has been a steady source of production off of the bench for the Bucks in this series, averaging 10 points and four assists throughout 24 minutes per game. In a game that could be a blowout, look for Hill to see even more minutes for Milwaukee as the team will look to rest the starting five heading into round 2.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Blake Griffin - PF, vs. MIL ($9,100)

After missing the first two games of the series due to a knee issue, Griffin returned for Game 3 wearing a knee brace. He was efficient for a guy who was supposed to miss the entire series by scoring a game-high 27 points while adding in seven boards, six assists, and two steals. Though Griffin is listed on the team's injury report, he will likely play in Game 4 with the only downside coming from another setback while on the floor, or if this game gets out of hand, meaning he will probably head to the bench early.

P.J. Tucker - PF, @ UTA ($5,700)

Tucker has been a pleasant surprise in the series with the Jazz, averaging nearly 27 fantasy points in the first three contests. In a night where it will be hard to squeeze some names into a lineup, Tucker can provide some production while likely hitting his value in the process.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Clint Capela - C, @ UTA ($8,100)

Capela has played well despite being matched up against the defensively-sound Rudy Gobert in this series. In the first three games, the 24-year-old is averaging a double-double by way of 12 boards and 11.3 points in addition to two blocks. He, along with the rest of the Rockets' starters, will continue to log heavy minutes in a game that should run tight up until the final buzzer.
