NBA DFS Picks For DraftKings 4/8/21

On Tuesday, my lineup was able to cash highlighted by Trae Young and Paul George who combined for over 100 DK pts. My top value play, Malachi Flynn almost eclipse 10x value. I rolled with Myles Turner at center and his exit mid-game stunted what could have been an even bigger night. Tonight consists of a 7 game slate starting at 7:30. I am ready to keep the streak going.

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: $8,600

The Jazz are hosting the Trail Blazers Thursday, and the two teams have the highest over/under (231.0) of all the games on the slate. Mitchell erupted for 41 points in his previous game, and he plays the Trail Blazers, who rank 22nd against opposing shooting guards. This one shouldn't be a blowout, so Mitchell should thrive once again in a high-scoring affair against the Trail Blazers.

Best Value(s):

Killian Hayes: $3,200

Hayes returned to action on April 3rd after missing 41 games due to a hip injury. Hayes is coming off his best performance on Monday, where he scored 34.1 DK points and played 25 minutes. Hayes should see 20-plus minutes and is in a great spot against the Kings. The Pistons’ rookie PG is one of the best values on the slate.

Core/Lineup:

My core 3 for tonight is Donovan Mitchell: $8,600, Jrue Holiday: $8,100 and Luka Doncic: $10,900. SF and PF are relatively weak positions tonight so I will target value there. Gobert and Vuc are the two big guys at Center tonight. I will play one of them, and I have Gobert ahead in my rankings. Best of luck and let’s keep the streak going!
