Get hot from the field and smoke your FanDuel daily fantasy basketball competition on April 15, 2018 with these high salary and value players

Four more series begin on Sunday. Here’s the schedule:

*1 p.m. ET: The Bucks take on the Celtics
*3:30 p.m. ET: The Pacers look to hand LeBron and the Cavaliers a Game One loss
*6:30 p.m. ET: The Jazz duke it out with the Thunder
*9 p.m. ET: The Timberwolves duel with the Rockets

Remember that in the playoffs, starters play more minutes and role players typically play better at home. When it comes to Game One, it’s better to go with reliable guys over taking many risks.

Since there are only a handful of games each day, I’ve mixed up the format a bit. The format for DraftKings and FanDuel is different as my goal is to not be repetitive while also experimenting with what works best.

Let me know what you think of the new format on Twitter or in the comments section.

Important note, every day the goal of this post is not to give you a copy-and-paste lineup. Instead, each selection is given while highlighting the factors you need to consider when building a customized lineup for yourself. If you want to see an example lineup, you can find it on the final slide of the post, but I suggest you adjust your lineup to fit your personal taste.

To keep up with all of FanSided’s DFS NBA coverage head over to the  fantasy basketball hub where each day you can find a post like this tailored for DraftKings as well as one specifically designed for usage on FanDuel. In this post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to DraftKings scoring system and salaries. If you have any additional questions or thoughts or are looking for updates as we approach tipoff, follow @FanSidedFantasy on Twitter or you can follow my account @jeremylambert88.
