DraftKings NBA Picks April 25
We have three games tonight since the Cavs swept the Pacers. That is one way to get rest without the fans or the league getting on you! The Westbrook and Harden show heads back to Houston. Will Westbrook struggle like he did in Game 1? Will the series get back to Oklahoma? The return of Rudy Gobert is here as well. Should we play him? Let’s build a winning DraftKings lineup!

The money line was all the way up to 269.25. I just missed out, and it was all because of McCaw. He was on the court pretty much by himself the last four minutes and only garnered one assist! So it goes….
The winning lineup was actually down a bit to 352.25. Three people tied with the same lineup. They capitalized on huge games from Curry and Giannis while hitting value with Norman Powell and Bazemore.

PG: Russell Westbrook ($14,200): You know, when the Rockets win this series, they are taking the best DFS player off the board. That will leave a lot more interesting lineups out there. Right now, not taking Westbrook is a hard thing to do. The winners in the past two days of Westbrook have been able to fade him successfully, but I don’t have the bankroll to play 100 different lineups. I will play my one with Westbrook and cash out.
SG: Jamal Crawford ($4,000): Crawford took full advantage of the extra scoring opportunities lying around with Blake Griffin out. He racked up 25 points (32.75 DraftKings points) on 9-13 from the floor. He likely wont see that kind of percentage every night, but Crawford has shot well against the Jazz this year. He is shooting 48% against them in eight games.
G: Chris Paul ($10,300): Paul has carried the load without Blake Griffin He has 121.25 DraftKings points over the last two games. I would rather make room for him on the roster over James Harden. I will play harden plenty in round two, but I expect Westbrook and Paul to both outscore him tonight.
UTIL: Danny Green ($3,800): Green is 0-10 from downtown in the last two games. The Spurs need him to come up big back at home. He has 38.25 DraftKings points in the two games in San Antonio. I’m banking on a return to the AT&T Center to have a positive effect on the veteran.
SF: Andre Roberson ($5,700): Roberson has had at least 30 DraftKings points in every game this series. He is a constant source of 30-38 DraftKings points. I like him in all formats right now. You can get away with one bad pick most nights during the playoffs, but you need a solid guy or two like Roberson.
PF: JaMychal Green ($3,300): Green played a total of 50 minutes in the two games in Memphis after playing just 30 combined minutes in San Antonio. The Grizzlies won both games at home, and it seems as though they will continue to give Green about half the game so long as he is productive. The team was better with him playing more, so don’t expect them to switch it up too much.
C: Nene Hilario ($4,400): Nene has outplayed Clint Capela for most of the series, but none more than Game 4. He made all 12 of his shots from the floor and racked up 45 DraftKings points. His playing time will likely be directly affected by the performance of Capela early on. There is a chance that this pick flops, but Nene has come close to value even in the games where he doesn’t get a ton of minutes.
F: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute ($4,000): Mbah a Moute has played well with Blake Griffin out, but don’t expect a big game form him. I’m just here for the 20 DraftKings points. He is one of my sure-fire guys like Roberson.
