NBA DFS Picks For DraftKings 4/22/21

After a short break, I am back with my NBA DK article for @SportsVerseHQ. We’re back for a modest six-game NBA slate, and as always, I’ll name my top values and studs for tonight’s NBA slate starting at 7pm EST. Let’s get right into it!

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:

Kemba Walker: $7,400

Kemba has a very nice salary tonight. Jaylen Brown is doubtful for the Boston Celtics tonight, and Walker's usage jumped by 5.4 percentage points with Brown off the court this season. I have Kemba outscoring the likes of Jrue Holiday, Chris Paul and Ben Simmons. The matchup with the Suns is a tough one, but we'll need to take some risks on a six-game slate.

Best Value:

Cameron Johnson: $3,500

The Phoenix Suns could be without three of their forwards. Jae Crowder, Dario Saric, and Abdel Nader are all questionable which could open up a lot of potential volume for Johnson. In three games Crowder missed in February, Johnson averaged 22.6 DK points. If Crowder is out, Johnson should see high 20’s minutes with the potential of low 30’s.
