The top Yahoo daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for 4/25/17 by Justin Bales. Expert NBA DFS advice, sleepers & player recommendations for Yahoo.

Teams are beginning to get eliminated in the NBA playoffs, which means we only have a few more nights of NBA DFS elite. Make sure you get in the contests while you still can!

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 4/25/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo.

Yahoo DFS Guards

Russell Westbrook – PG, at HOU ($66) 

Westbrook struggled in the first game of this series, but he has been able to triple double in each of the last three games. He’s averaging 77.3 fantasy points per game over those three games, and he will be locked into big minutes for the Thunder tonight. The Thunder are in a win or go home situation, which means Westbrook could be looking to take over the game more than usual. He’s an elite option on this slate, and he’s nearly a must start with only three games.

Joe Ingles – SG, at LAC ($11)

Ingles is coming off a great game, and he’s averaging 25.5 fantasy points per game this series. Most importantly, he is averaging 34.3 minutes per game this series. He isn’t an elite scorer, but he can contribute in each of the five categories at some level, and he has displayed that against the Clippers in the playoffs. He’s as close to a must start on this slate as there is, and he makes an elite option in all leagues.

Yahoo DFS Forwards 

Andre Roberson – SF, at HOU ($17) 

Roberson has taken his game to the next level in the playoffs, although he generally does not get the recognition he deserves. He comes with an extremely low price tag, and he’s averaging 33.8 fantasy points per game in this series. He’s averaging 13.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 3.3 blocks, and 2.0 steals per game over that span. He gets a great matchup against the fast paced Rockets, and Roberson is an elite option tonight.

Marreese Speights – PF, vs UTA ($11)

Speights hasn’t found his footing in the playoffs yet, but he’s playing extended minutes with the most recent injury to Blake Griffin. He has played 19 and 21 minutes in his last two games, and he’s a player that can easily exceed value in that time. He’s averaging over one fantasy point per minute on the season, and he’s a high upside tournament option tonight.

Yahoo DFS Centers

Marc Gasol – C, at SA ($29)

Gasol has had his ups and downs this postseason, but he’s averaging 34.5 fantasy points per game this series. The Grizzlies have built up momentum against the Spurs, as they have won each of the last two games. Gasol has been a huge factor in that, as he has been one of their best scorers. He’s a versatile big man, who is fairly consistent with great upside. There aren’t many great centers on this slate, which means Gasol can be used in all leagues.
