NBA DFS Picks For Fanduel 4/8/21

Last night was bitter sweet even though the lineup was fantastic with a top 5% finish that easily smoked the cash line in all contests. The original lineup I sent out before changes was near GPP takedown with a 368.5 point finish, which would have won us exponentially more money. I have given out the advice that any profit is good profit, which is something I need to follow myself with the lineup change error. Regardless, my lineups have been on fire in the last week or so, and I plan on continuing that on tonight's 7 game slate, even if it isn't the prettiest. 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:

Donovan Mitchell - $7,800:

With Jordan Clarkson doubtful to play, Donovan Mitchell should be in for an even larger than usual workload tonight. The Jazz currently have the highest projected total on the slate, creating more opportunity for Spida to eat against a poor defensive Blazers frontcourt. Last night, he was able to light up the Suns with a 41 point performance that was good for 54 FD points. I am not expecting that kind of production tonight, but it is well within his ceiling. Donovan Mitchell is a core play for my lineup.

Best Value:

Isaiah Stewart - $3,700:

I included Isaiah Stewart as my best value play on Monday, and he delivered with a 33 FD point game. Today, he is in a similar situation with Jerami Grant being ruled out with a knee injury. It doesn't take many minutes for Stewart to hit value at just $3,700, and he should be in line to smash that if he plays around 25 minutes as expected. Like Donovan Mitchell, Isaiah Stewart is a key part of my core for my lineup. I would recommend playing him and not thinking twice about it.
