NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 4/5/21

The lineups are starting to catch fire! For the third consecutive slate, I was easily able to cash in all contest formats, even with the early Nickeil Alexander-Walker injury last night. There are 7 games on the main slate today. Let's push to make it four straight days of cash! 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:

Russell Westbrook - $11,000:

With many of the top plays on this slate being on the cheaper side, Russell Westbrook is an easy target to pay up for. His production has slightly leveled off after some monster games, but he is still the most reliable option to me today. James Harden and Luka Doncic are in tougher defensive games against the Knicks and the Jazz, and Karl Anthony-Towns hasn't been as consistent. Russ isn't a must, but I love the play.

Best Value:

Isaiah Stewart - $3,700:

Mason Plumlee will not play tonight against the Thunder, which means that Isaiah Stewart should be in for longer run. When given minutes, Stewart has been productive in terms of fantasy return, so he should be able to smash value at just $3,700. There are many other strong options under $5,000 such as Jordan McLaughlin, Kenrich Williams, Taurean Prince, Kevin Love, and others. Isaiah Stewart is a core play for my lineup today.
