DraftKings Lineups For April 27

With a total of three games on the slate we are going to give you our DraftKings lineups for April 27. DraftKings is quite a bit different from FanDuel, but of course operates on the same premise. Instead of picking 2 different players for the all positions except for center you pick all five positions and add in a G, F, and UTIL player. The UTIL player can be any of the five positions. Let us get started and roll out our DraftKings lineups for April 27.

Our starting PG for the night is going to be Jarrett Jack. With the news breaking about Deron Williams suffering from severe tendinitis in his knee, I am hoping that he will sit out and we will have a great value play in Jarrett Jack. Jack has been a decent play even with Williams in the lineup and is averaging around 24 fantasy points already with Deron Williams in the lineup.

Over at the off guard (SG) spot we are going to put O.J. Mayo on the floor. Mayo has been pretty solid as of late. In his last game Mayo had over 35 fantasy points and is another nice bargain play for us.

In DraftKings, Giannis Antetokounmpo has SF eligibility. So that is where we are going to roll with him. I am hoping to have the Greek Freak come up big for us tonight. The Freak has averaged around 28 fantasy points over his last ten games and should be worth the cost.

We are putting the big money in our PF position tonight at DraftKings land. Pau Gasol is a fantasy monster and is averaging 41.9 fantasy points for the Bulls. I am believing that he will be big for the Bulls and for our fantasy teams tonight. Gasol was a little bit off in the last game and should rebound nicely.

At Center we are going with Brook Lopez. I have usually avoided using Lopez in daily fantasy leagues because I have always thought he was a bit streaky. He has in fact been quite the opposite as of late and as long as he puts up his typical night of over 30 fantasy points we should be in good shape here.

For the guard position we are going to put Michael Carter-Williams in there. He has not had a very good playoff series thus far for fantasy purposes, but I am thinking he is due for a nice comeback game here.

    • At our forward spot we are going to use Mike Dunleavy. Dunleavy has been decent as of late and for the price he should be good for around 20-25 fantasy points. Dunleavy is getting over 30 minutes and should find the touches to get into the 30 point fantasy type of night. If he can do that we will be in great shape.

    Our UTIL player is going to be DeMarre Carroll. Carroll has been a quiet hero for the Hawks this year. He is averaging 25 fantasy points on the season and has been as consistent as the day is long. Carroll was over 30 fantasy points for the Hawks last game and if he gets there as well we should be golden and collecting some money for a nice night.
