NBA DFS Picks For DraftKings 4/12/21

I am really excited for this slate. There is so much value out there today, so I am gonna go right into my top players for tonight's 9 game slate starting at 7:30pm EST.

Reminder: If you have any lineup questions prior to lock, I will be happy to answer any of them if you comment and tag in under the article or DM me @rogersaj07. Also, if you retweet the article and DM me I will send you my player core that I will be locking into all of my lineups.

Top Play:

Donovan Mitchell: $9,200

In my last article, Spida was my top play of the day. He was $8,600 then and is now $9,200. Even with a $600 increase, he is still my top play. This guy has been absolutely ridiculous recently, and he should go nuts here with no Mike Conley. Mitchell has placed himself in the MVP conversation, leading the Utah Jazz to the top seed in the West. Donovan Mithcell has scored at least 49 DK pts 9 times over the last few weeks. He also has an excellent matchup vs Washington.

Best Value(s):

Naji Marshall: $3,400

Marshall has stepped up and offered more-than-adequate production, putting up 25-plus DK points in four of his last six games. With the Kings giving up the sixth-most fantasy points to the position per 48 minutes, Marshall is a great play.

1) De’Aaron Fox: $9,300

Core/Lineup:

My core 3 for tonight is Donovan Mitchell: $9,200,De’Aaron Fox: $9,300 and Ja Morant: $6,800.PG is loaded tonight led by Wesbrook, Curry and Luka all over $10,000. Hopefully this will take ownership off of Fox, who has a similar ceiling at $1k cheaper. Ja is poised for a breakout game tonight. SF is a relatively weak position night so I will target value there.
