NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 4/26/21

I am back with another article after taking my routine Sunday break! In place of the article, the lineup I posted on Twitter yesterday was able to cash in all tournaments despite Russell Westbrook having his worst game from a fantasy standpoint in some time. For today, we have a huge eleven game slate with numerous different injury situations to monitor. Since the slate is so large, I will have four top plays at each position, and my pool size will be expanded. Since there is so much news injury news we are still waiting on, I fully expect my lineup to change as the night goes on. Some teams such as the Mavericks have more than five players listed as questionable, so be sure to stay on the lookout. As I say everyday, the top plays and my lineup core can change with injury or rest news, so make sure to stay up to date. Let's dive into the breakdown of the NBA main slate on Fanduel today!

Reminder: If you would like the lineup that I will be using, RT the article post on twitter for at @SportsVerseHQ, DM @Excyphir, and follow them both. Since my lineups usually change with injury news, be sure to check DMs before lock in case of a change. I usually send my lineups out around 30 minutes to an hour prior to lock, so as long as you have followed the steps and DMed me, you will receive it.

Top Play:

Jarrett Allen - $5,700:

Coming off of a 56 FD point game where he played 34 minutes, Jarrett Allen sees a price decrease all the way down to $5,700. I realize the prices for today were set prior to the games yesterday, but this is a perfect mispricing to take advantage of. The Cavaliers are without many of their players again such as Collin Sexton and Taurean Prince, and Larry Nance and Isaiah Hartenstein have been ruled out for tonight which makes Allen an even better play than yesterday. This was an extremely easy choice for me - Jarrett Allen is a 100% lock into my lineup.

Best Value:

Cedi Osman - $3,500:

Continuing on the same narrative, Cedi Osman is in a similar situation to that of his teammate Jarrett Allen. Last night, Osman drew the start and played 37 minutes which was good for 30 FD points. Since the price changes have yet to catch up to him, he is still at the minimum price tag of $3,500. Given the injuries to the team, there is simply no way to pass on Osman tonight unless you make 150 different lineups. His ownership is going to be ridiculous, but you need to play him.
