Here are the best high salary and value picks for DraftKings fantasy basketball on Saturday, April 1.

Prior to last night’s action, Aaron Gordon was listed as questionable with some shoulder soreness. That news backed a lot of people off of Gordon. But he ended up playing and putting up his best game of the season with 32 points and 16 rebounds for a total of 62.5 FP. DFS is indeed new every day. Tonight we get just four games on the main slate, although there aren’t many games there are definitely some tasty matchups. Vegas has the Suns/Blazers as the high scoring game of the night with a 221.5 total and Magic/Nets right behind at 221. There aren’t many playoff implications in these four games, although Portland and Atlanta need wins. Portland has won five in a row and they are definitely rolling. Atlanta has won two straight and they are creeping on Milwaukee for the fifth seed. The Bulls need to win as they are currently a half-game out of the playoffs. Let’s dig in and see what are best DFS NBA lineups are for tonight.
