NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel Basketball Advice for 4/25/16

 

There are three games tonight, so it'll be tough to find value.

Luckily, there are a few value plays in this article that will help out with lineup construction!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/25/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on FanDuel.

FanDuel DFS Guards

Russell Westbrook (vs DAL, $10,600)

Russell Westbrook makes for a great play tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks are one of the worst defensive teams still currently in the playoffs, especially without the Houston Rockets on tonight's slate. In his last game, Westbrook posted 25 points, 15 assists, and 55.5 fantasy points in 39 minutes on the court. He has been playing well this entire series, but that should come as no surprise, as he is one half of the face of the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has 15 assists and 25 or more points in two straight games now, so he is really starting to heat up. Wait until he starts rebounding the basketball as well. As a triple-double threat, he is worth the high price tag.

Wesley Matthews (at OKC, $4,900)

Wesley Matthews has played well in the playoffs so far, as he is playing 30 plus minutes every game for the Dallas Mavericks. In his last two games, he has 20.9 and 34 fantasy points. Matthews is mainly a scoring threat, but if he is also scoring points with rebounds and steals, he will definitely be hitting value. The Oklahoma City Thunder struggle against opposing shooting guards, and Matthews is rather cheap. It is tough to find value with only three games on the slate, so do not be too picky here.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Dirk Nowitzki (vs OKC, $7,000)

Dirk Nowitzki has been playing great of recent! He deserves that exclamation point as much as any player in the league. In his last two games, he has 39.6 and 36.7 fantasy points in 40 and 33 minutes of action. The aging veteran still has a ton of game left, and he is not going to go down without a fight. He has yet to double-double in the playoffs, as he has not been rebounding all that well, but he is scoring at a very efficient clip. He can be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments until he starts to cool off, which likely will not be until next season.

Enes Kanter (vs DAL, $3,800)

Okay, fine. Enes Kanter is actually a center, but it is extremely difficult to find value at either forward position. Kanter, on the other hand, provides a ton of upside for his price tag. In his last two games, he has 34.2 and 36.1 fantasy points in only 26 and 22 minutes on the court. He has a ton of upside, and he is showing why the Oklahoma City Thunder decided to pay up for him. He has a ridiculous ability to score down low, and there is no reason to avoid him right now. The Dallas Mavericks are not going to be able to stop him, and if he finds his way onto the court for over 30 minutes, he could be one of the highest scoring centers on the board. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments, but only if Mason Plumlee does not spark an interest.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Mason Plumlee (vs LAC, $5,900)

Speaking of cheap center options with huge upside, Mason Plumlee has been playing out of this world of recent. In his last two games, he has 44.7 and 45.5 fantasy points in 33 and 31 minutes on the court. He is playing semi-heavy minutes, and he should continue to shoot and rebound the ball at an efficient rate. On top of that, he has been assisting the ball great as well. He is seriously a triple-double contender tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers, and his price tag is lower than $6,000. Take advantage of that. It is not ideal that both Kanter and Plumlee do not fit into the same lineup.
