We're entering the final weeks of the NBA season but that does not mean you have to quit fantasy basketball.
We have provided our daily picks throughout the year and we will continue to push hard during these last regular season games. Below are our favorite FanDuel DFS picks for Friday April 3rd, 2015.
Keep in mind, fantasy basketball is a fickle game when it comes to injured players, so be sure to check all lineups prior to tip-off. If you want to chat about your roster picks, check out the DFS chat room at the bottom of this post.

Worth The FanDuel Investment
Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - $8,400
For Lakers fans, the season cannot end soon enough. For DFS players that are targeting Los Angeles, the season needs to continue into summer. LA has a penchant for allowing big games to opposing point guards and Friday night should be no different. Lillard is top value.
Andrew Wiggins (MIN, SF) - $7,000
Wiggins has really turned the rookie-of-the-year race into a one man show. He has really come on as of the last month and will be without a doubt the number one scoring option Friday against Orlando. He is the number one SF option Friday night.
Tim Duncan (SA, PF) - $7,000
Be careful here. Duncan is clearly a top value choice considering the Nuggets porous interior defense, but the Mad Scientist Gregg Popovich has been known to drastically alter his pregame lineups when facing inferior opponents. Owners should aggressively check the pregame lineup.
Other PF to Consider: Ersan Ilyasova (MIL, $5,800)
Joakim Noah (CHI, C) - $6,400
Noah has been sluggish since returning from a one-game absence but Friday night’s game against Detroit offers an exploitable matchup. What Noah will lack in scoring he will more than make up for in blocks, rebounds and steals to give a nice return on investment for his owners.
Danny Green (SG, SA) - $5,100
Obviously Green is another guy where owners will need to be vigilant in checking San Antonio’s pregame lineup, but the upside he offers against a Denver team that has struggled all season against opposing two guards is mouthwatering. With a not-so-expensive price tag, Green is hard to pass up.
DFS Sleeper Picks
Greivis Vasquez (PG, TOR) - $4,100
Surprisingly, Vasquez’s price has remained stagnant around the $4,000 mark despite the fact that he will be filling in for injured starter Kyle Lowry for a couple more games. Though Brooklyn has a scary pace for any fantasy owner, it is near impossible to ignore the value Vasquez provides against a sub-par Nets squad.
Omri Casspi (SF, SAC) - $4,000
Another guy that will fill in for an injured starter, Casspi looks to have a solid matchup against New Orleans. With Rudy Gay out, Casspi has been named the starter and poses several matchup problems for Quincy Pondexter especially out on the perimeter. Casspi won’t score like Gay, but he will pose as a nice second scoring option when he is on the floor.
