There are nine games to choose from tonight. The San Antonio Spurs ruined the slate, as Pau Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, and Manu Ginobili are all out. This should be interesting.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for Yahoo on 4/7/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays on Yahoo.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @thedominatordfs.
Yahoo DFS Guards
Devin Booker - SG, vs OKC ($30)
Devin Booker has taken over the Phoenix Suns team over the last few games. He is consistently posting over 40 fantasy points per game, and he gets a good matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Russell Westbrook. Booker will look to outperform Westbrook, but that is not going to happen. Regardless, this should be a fun game, as Westbrook looks to, yet again, break the single-season triple-doubles record. Booker, on the other hand, will look to repeat his 70 point performance against the Boston Celtics.
Patty Mills - PG, at DAL ($12)
The San Antonio Spurs are ruining daily fantasy basketball tonight for fantasy owners. It will be impossible to ignore the resting situation. Manu Ginobili, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, and Pau Gasol are all out. That opens up plenty of court time for various backups. Patty Mills is going to take over the offense at the point guard position. He should easily hit value, especially against the injury-ridden Dallas Mavericks. This game could easily turn into a snooze fest, but fantasy owners are going to have to watch it!
Also Consider: Tony Allen - SG, vs NYK ($10)
Yahoo DFS Forwards
LeBron James - SF, vs ATL ($57)
LeBron James, on a normal night, would be a horrendous play on Yahoo. His price tag is ridiculously high. Fortunately for fantasy owners that love playing King James, this is not a normal night. With all the value available due to the San Antonio Spurs injury report, James will be easy to insert into most lineups. His high price tag will help to get rid of some excess salary cap. In fact, he can be rostered with Russell Westbrook. James has over 50 fantasy points in four of his last five games, and against the Indiana Pacers, he posted over 80 fantasy points. The upside and consistency are there.
Kyle Anderson - SF, at DAL ($10)
In his last game, Kyle Anderson posted over 23 fantasy points in 28 minutes against the Los Angeles Lakers. He gets a good matchup against the Dallas Mavericks tonight, and he should see around 30-35 minutes on the court. He will also be a much larger part of the San Antonio Spurs' offense, as only backups are going to be on the court. That means Anderson will see more shot opportunities. He has great upside, and he should easily hit value. Roster him, as a salary relief option, in all leagues.
Also Consider: Davis Bertans - PF, at DAL ($10)
Yahoo DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert - C, vs MIN ($39)
Rudy Gobert is consistently posting huge fantasy numbers. He has over 45 fantasy points in three of his last five games. Against the San Antonio Spurs, he posted just under 55 fantasy points. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team that loves to push the pace of games. The added shots will mean added rebound opportunities for Gobert. He has double-double rebounds in 10 consecutive games. In his last 15 games, he has 210 rebounds. Gobert can be rostered in all leagues, but Dewayne Dedmon is the real star at the center position. Also consider him.
Also Consider: Dewayne Dedmon - C, at DAL ($10)
