In terms of noteworthy injuries, Immanuel Quickley (thigh) won’t play for the Raptors. Players listed as questionable include Kyrie Irving (thumb), Trae Young (concussion), and Clint Capela (calf).

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 1/26/24. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool as the slate can completely change before lineups lock at 7:00 pm EST. Good luck RotoBallers!

Today's DraftKings, FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Devin Booker, PHX at IND – PG/SG ($9,300 DK; $9,700 FD)

The Pacers one of the better teams to attack in DFS because they have played at the second-fastest pace and have the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league. Booker comes into this matchup hot, averaging 31.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.3 assists over the last seven games. That included a game against the Pacers in which he produced 26 points, six rebounds, eight assists, and two steals over 36 minutes.

Grayson Allen, PHX at IND – SG/SF ($5,700 DK; $6,100 FD)

Allen has emerged as a key supporting player for the Suns’ big three. He is averaging career-highs across the board, including 13.7 points and 2.8 three-pointers per game. With defenses focusing their efforts on slowing own the Suns’ stars, Allen has received a lot of quality looks, which has helped him shoot 51.0 percent from the field.

Dennis Schroder, TOR vs. LAC – PG ($5,200 DK; $5,900 FD)

The acquisition of Quickley meant that the Raptors moved Schroder to the bench. Across 13 games as a member of the second unit this season, Schroder has averaged 11.3 points and 5.2 assists. As a starter, he has averaged 15.0 points and 6.7 assists. Given his cheap salaries on both sites, he has the potential to provide value.

ALSO CONSIDER: LaMelo Ball, CHA vs. HOU - PG ($9,800 DK; $9,900 FD), Fred VanVleet, HOU at CHA – PG ($7,700 DK; $8,500 FD)

Today's DraftKings, FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs. CLE– PF/C ($11,000 DK; $12,200 FD)

Giannis has three triple-doubles over his last four games. He missed having one in four straight by just one assist. The Cavaliers blew out the Bucks the last time these two teams met, but Giannis did not play in that matchup. When he faced them in December, he recorded 34 points, 16 rebounds, five assists, and one steal over 37 minutes. His floor is as high as any player in this, regardless of position.

RJ Barrett, TOR vs. LAC – SF/SG ($7,100 DK; $7,400 FD)

The trade from the Knicks to the Raptors has proven to be beneficial for Barrett. After averaging 18.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game with the Knicks, he has averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists over 12 games with the Raptors. With even more shot attempts possibly coming his way with Quickley out, he has the potential to provide yet another juicy stat line.

Brandon Miller, CHA vs. HOU – SF/SG ($6,300 DK; $7,000 FD)

Miller recently missed two games with a back injury. He has looked like a different player since returning from the ailment, averaging 24.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over four games. The Hornets want to build around him and LaMelo Ball, which is part of the reason why they just traded Terry Rozier to the Heat. With plenty of minutes and a higher usage rate coming his way, Miller is a great option to target.

ALSO CONSIDER: Kevin Durant, PHX at IND – SF/PF ($9,200 DK; $9,800 FD), Tim Hardaway Jr., DAL at ATL – SF/SG ($5,700 DK; $6,200 FD)

 

Today's DraftKings, FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Alperen Sengun, HOU at CHA – C ($8,600 DK; $9,800 FD)

It’s not difficult to make an argument to roll with Sengun in DFS whenever the Rockets are in action. He has been full unleashed this season, logging a career-high 33 minutes per game. That has enabled him to showcase his versatile skillset and average 22.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.2 steals. Look for him to feast against a Hornets team that is still without Mark Williams (back).

Nick Richards, CHA vs. HOU – C ($5,200 DK; $6,100 FD)

Williams being out has enabled Richards to move into the starting lineup for the Hornets. While he hasn’t produced gaudy numbers, he has averaged 9.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks over 20 games in that role. At such cheap salaries on both sites, he’s someone to consider for those looking to save some of their budget at the center spot.

Dereck Lively II, DAL at ATL – C ($5,000 DK; $6,000 FD)

Lively has shown a lot of promise in his rookie season. He seems to be a perfect match with Luka Doncic, given his ability to catch lobs on pick-and-rolls. His average of just 25 minutes per game does leave him with inconsistent production, but this matchup might make him worth taking a chance on in tournament play. The Hawks have the fifth-worst defensive rating and have given up the eighth-most rebounds per game in the league.

ALSO CONSIDER: Jarrett Allen, CLE at MIL – C ($7,800 DK; $8,300 FD), Jonas Valanciunas, NO vs. OKC – C ($6,700 DK; $7,100 FD)
