FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (4/30/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Jake Finnen highlights the top FanDuel NBA DFS lineup picks for 4/30/17, as well as a couple of sleepers to keep in mind while building your roster.

We have a Game 7 between Los Angeles and Utah, and a Game 1 between Boston and Washington. Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan are the obvious plays for the Clippers, while Gordon Hayward is still going to be a strong play, as he hopes to close out his first playoff series victory. A two game slate means we have limited options. We need to be make sure we are getting as much production as possible.

In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/30/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays.

Feel free to ask me questions on Twitter @HalfCourtJester, let's get rolling.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Brandon Jennings - PG, @ BOS ($2,600)

Chances are you are eyeing either Chris Paul or John Wall. Well, Brandon Jennings is one of the few backup point guards that have been able to prove themselves in the playoffs. Albeit minimal production, something is better than nothing and his price is extremely low. By rostering Jennings, it frees up space to roster Wall or Paul, while potentially opening up room for another superstar.

Also Consider: John Wall - PG, @ BOS ($10,400) 

 

 Gerald Green - SG, vs WAS ($2,100)

While it is a new series, the Gerald Green experiment has worked. The Wizards might be a bigger team than the Celtics, but this may give Brad Stevens a chance to let his team run against a slower team. If Gerald Green can hit his first couple shots, expect Washington to do some chasing while the Celtics pour it on. Even if the Wizards start to dominate down low, Green will get serious minutes as a source of offense. Either way, his production relies on whether or not his shot is falling. Annoying, but also rewarding when utilized in the right circumstances.

Also Consider: Rodney Hood - SG, @ UTA ($3,900)

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Joe Ingles - SF, @ LAC ($4,900)

While you might want to go with the other Joe (Johnson), it is likely Joe Ingles has another one of his incredible, across-the-board contributor, type of nights. It is Game 7, meaning anything can happen. This is where names are really made. If Ingles wants to prove that he is a legitimate force in this league, his series finale will need to incorporate some fireworks. This is a matchup he has been feasting on, it should be no different the seventh time around.

Also Consider: Bojan Bogdanovic - SF, @ BOS ($4,000)

 

 Markieff Morris - PF, @ BOS ($5,900)

This is going to be THE matchup all series long. Markieff Morris is a source of offense and defense, while his rebounding is going to be showcased this series. The Celtics struggle on the boards and Morris is going to exploit them. If Al Horford has his hands full with Marcin Gortat, the Celtics will need to stick someone on Morris or he will go off for 20 points and 10 rebounds without batting an eye.

Also Consider: Marreese Speights - PF, vs UTA ($4,000)

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

 Al Horford - C, vs WAS ($8,300)

The frontcourt battle between Washington and Boston is where this series is going to be won. Al Horford is a versatile center that Marcin Gortat will struggle to guard, while Gortat is a traditional center that Horford is not built to defend. All in all, matchup nightmares for both on defense, but both could not ask for a better situation on offense. It is going to be picturesque mayhem that leads to DFS nirvana.

Also Consider: Marcin Gortat - C, @ BOS ($6,000)
