Today's free NBA DFS picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (April 10, 2026). Max's daily fantasy basketball lineups, values, stacks, pivots, sleepers for NBA DFS.
RotoBallers, tonight, we have a full, fifteen-game NBA slate with all 30 teams in the Association in action. Note that neither site includes Warriors at Kings, Clippers at Blazers, and Suns at Lakers, while DraftKings is also excluding the Thunder at Nuggets, Grizzlies at Jazz, and Timberwolves at Rockets games. For this article, I will only feature players in games on both sites. Whichever site you're playing on, there are plenty of good DFS fantasy basketball options to consider. These articles focus on the best overall plays, which are typically more suited to cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size of the slate.
We've officially reached that time of year, RotoBallers. Tanking teams are getting even tankier, so be sure to use extra caution when choosing your lineups. As always, watching the injury report updates will be critical to finalizing your strategy. Some big names, such as Joel Embiid, Donovan Mitchell, and Jayson Tatum, are already confirmed out. There are many more players out, and there will undoubtedly be players who pop up on the injury report tomorrow, or even get ruled out, so keep a close eye on the NBA injury news and make adjustments as needed.
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 4/10/26.

NBA DFS Core Picks
Victor Wembanyama, C on DK, PF/C on FD
- DraftKings: $11,500
- FanDuel: $12,500
This deep into the season, we want to focus on the teams and players who are still playing with a purpose. Although the Spurs are locked into the #2 seed, Wemby is at 63 regular-season games played, and is also credited for a game for playing in the NBA Cup Final, leaving him one game short of the 65-game minimum to be eligible for NBA awards.
If he were to only play in one of the Spurs' two remaining games, it would make more sense for him to play tonight and then have extended rest going into the playoffs. From a DFS perspective, he's in a tier of his own in terms of floor/ceiling combo on this slate. He has more games scoring 60+ fantasy points (8), than scoring 55 or fewer fantasy points (7). If he is ruled out, De'Aaron Fox looks to be the best play on the Spurs tonight.
James Harden, CLE - PG on DK, PG/SG on FD
- DraftKings: $8,600
- FanDuel: $9,100
Since Harden arrived in Cleveland at the trade deadline, his on-court impact has been undeniable. The Cavs are 20-8 since acquiring the former MVP, and head coach Kenny Atkinson has consistently praised his poise and calmness when closing out games.
As we know, real-life production doesn't always equate to fantasy points. For as good as Harden's been in Cleveland, he has the same number of 50+ fantasy point performances as he does sub-30 point games (4). With Donovan Mitchell resting tonight, Harden will be much more involved offensively than usual. With Cleveland still fighting for the #3 seed, and the Hawks in the thick of the crowded 5-9 seeds in the East, both teams will be playing hard, which should lead to another close game like the one they played on Wednesday.
