DraftKings NBA Picks April 24

There are four games today, with two of them being Game 4’s. The Cavs have a chance to sweep the Pacers. LeBron and PG were huge on Friday. Can they do it again?

More from DFS

The money line was down a bit to 253.25. I snuck in above the line despite a terrible game from Paul ZIpser and a disappointing one from Taj Gibson.

The winning lineup was also down a shade to 358 DraftKings points. He survived a below average game from Raymond Felton by getting huge games from Russell Westbrook and Nene Hilario.

PG: John Wall ($10,200): Wall is the only player priced in five digits, and likely the only one that is worth it. Wall has 116.25 DraftKings points in the first three games of the series. That has him comfortably above 5x value.

SG: Evan Turner ($5,500): Turner has 93.75 DraftKings points in the first three games of the series. The absence of Kevin Durant has likely helped since Turner plays more at the 3 than the 2, but it doesn’t really matter. The Warriors have dominated this series.

G: Patrick McCaw ($3,700): McCaw has filled in nicely for Kevin Durant in this series, which is the opposite of what happened in the regular season. Andre Iguodala has seen a significant uptick in playing time as well, but McCaw is more bang for the buck. The Warriors are up 3-0 in the series. I really doubt they play Durant since they will need him more in the second round. I would guess that even if Durant can play, he plays less than 20 minutes. I made move off of McCaw if Durant suits up.

SF: Norman Powell ($3,800): After a terrible Game 3, the Raptors shook up the lineup for Game 4, and it worked like a charm. Considering that was the case, expect Powell to play more than 30 minutes again in this one. If it is announced that Powell wont start, I may move off of this as well. If that does happen, I will likely have to retool the whole lineup. Stay tuned to Twitter for any changes.

PF: Draymond Green ($8,400): If Durant starts, I’m off of Green. How good is Draymond Green? He didn’t have double digits in any statistical category in Game 3, yet he still amassed 44.25 DraftKings points. He is about as well rounded as you can possibly be.

C: Greg Monroe ($5,700): Once again, Monroe put up his solid line of 30-some DraftKings points while playing about half the game. This kind of consistency is something I want in my playoff lineups. As you saw yesterday, bench guys can really hurt your lineup. However, if you choose right with starters, you can still find yourself in the money.

F: Paul Millsap ($8,000): Millsap has been a terror on the interior over the last two games. He has 111.5 DraftKings points in the last two games. With Dwight Howard largely a non-factor in the series, Millsap has stepped up in a big way. Expect him to do so again.

UTIL: Al-Farouq Aminu ($4,600): I played Aminu in Game 1, and he was atrocious. He has been a respectable play over the last two games. Portland came close to victory in Game 3, and Aminu had his best game and most minutes of the series. Expect the Blazers to use him more in this one as well.
