Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight.

What We Know Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala will sit for rest purposes Matt Barnes is really the only guy I see getting a big bump here. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson will both pick up a few more shots and have increased usage. Kevin Looney and David West may get some minutes, but I have not interest. Tristan Thompson will sit out against the Celtics with a sprained thumb With Thompson out, I expect Love to play the 5 here. The Celtics don't have a crazy interior presence and he should be able to handle Horford pretty well. Lary Sander and Channing Frye could also see a few minutes at the 5, but are unnecessary. What We're Waiting to Know Jae Crowder is a GTD against the Cavs Crowder is a big part of this offense and he will do his absolute best to make sure he plays. Even if he plays, I don't think he will be 100%. If he's out, you have to like Isaiah Thomas and Jaylen Brown. Both will get bumps and Avery Bradley could also see some time at the 3. Dirk Nowitzki, Harrison Barnes, Seth Curry, Devin Harris, and J.J. Barea are all questionable Ummmm.... who knows. These guys have no incentive to play and I wouldn't be surprised to see any of them sit. No matter what, I don't think anyone on this team sees crazy minutes tonight. Nerlens Noel is really good and makes sense in tournaments. He could see 40 fantasy points in only 30 minutes. Kyle Lowry is questionable to return tonight against the Pistons If Lowry returns, I will stay away from the Raptors. The Pistons play slow and don't give up too much to guards. If Lowry remains out, DeRozan is a good tournament option. With that being said, I like the Rockets SG's a lot, so I doubt I will have too much exposure. The "Every Lineup" Guys Lou Williams Sweet...

He did start to figure things out, but was yanked due to pitch count and fear of the big inning. The Padres remain horrible and Rich Hill will be the guy who takes advantage tonight. Hill was dominant against both righties and lefties in 2016, sporting a sub .244 wOBA against both sides. The Padres are worse against lefties, as guys like Schimpf and Solarte have more power against right-handers. Hill is expensive and rightfully so. He has ELITE numbers and gets an ideal match-up here with a Padres team that throws out by far the worst lineup in baseball. Wil Myers is the only real issue and Hill should be able to rack up the strikeouts outside of him. Hill just isn't a guy I think we look to have the same hiccups as most. In 2016, Hill only gave up 4 home runs in over 100 innings of work. Hill has ace stuff and can put it to the test at any point. The Dodgers are the biggest favorite on this slate and the Padres are slated to only score 2.59 runs. Hill is the easy cash game choice and has more than enough upside in tournaments. Michael Pineda FD 8200 DK 8400 Opponent - TB (Cobb) Park - @TB FD - 34.85 DK - 22.96 After Rich Hill, I have no cash game comfort in anyone. There are a few more pitchers with tournament appeal, but none of them even compare to the cash game play Rich Hill is. Looking a bit more towards tournaments, Michael Pineda should be able to have success against this Rays team. They strikeout a ton and Pineda has the stuff to give them huge problems. Pineda has the tools to be a top 10 starter. With a snapping fastball and 2 other ++ pitches, Pineda has the upside to strikeout 10 batters at any time. Unfortunately, he can't locate pitches all too well, told too well by his 2.72 BB/9 in 2016. Pineda will look to contain...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/5/17 This is a very weird day in the NBA. There are a couple of higher leverage games that have playoff implications. But mostly it's good teams with nothing to play for facing bad teams with nothing to play for. That could make for some rough sledding. Let's get into the picks.

Point Guards Isaiah Thomas FD - $8500 DK - $8500Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 43.58 DK - 46.14 With the Cavs win over the Magic last night, the race for the top slot in the East is now a dead heat. Both Cleveland and Boston are 50-27 heading down the home stretch and you can be damn sure both teams want to secure home court throughout the playoffs. Thomas should see a lot of Kyrie’s soft defense in this one and 35-37 minutes is completely on the table for Thomas who has seen a workload increase over the short term. Before last game’s blowout of the Knicks he had scored 30 or more points in four consecutive games. He’s priced fairly at this point, but we want to target games tonight that mean something and this is one of them. Ish Smith FD - $5500 DK - $5900Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 29.21 DK - 30.8 Reggie Jackson will sit out again and that should leave around 32 minutes of point guard duties to Ish. In the last four games since taking over the starting PG duties, Ish is averaging an 18/6/5 line which is enough to get the job done at these prices (especially on FanDuel). I like Ish as a mid tier option for cash games who has a solid floor against a Toronto team which has sacrificed some defense against the one since Lowry went down with injury. Ish doesn’t have tons of upside because his minutes are somewhat capped, but I think he has a solid floor. Tyler Ulis FD - $6200 DK - $7600Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 34.62 DK - 36.78 Are they going to get completely blitzed by the Warriors in this game? Of course. Does that matter for Ulis’ minutes? Of course not. The Suns have been happy to run him close to 40 minutes per no matter the game script and I don’t know...

What We Know Jusuf Nurkic remains out for the rest of the regular season with a tibia fracture Nurkic has been out for a couple games, but we still don't really know what to look for. Sure, Noah Vonleh and Meyers Leonard will see most of the minutes. They are both interesting plays, but not so much against Rudy Gobert and the Jazz interior. Lillard and McCollum also see a few more shots and are excellent plays tonight in tournaments. Dirk Nowitzki, Seth Curry and Wes Matthews will not play against the Kings Dirk has no reason to suit up and he'll likely sit out for the rest of the year. Nerlens Noel becomes one of the top plays on the slate and I love him against the Kings. Dwight Powell also has upside, but we have seen him disappoint plenty of times in spots just as good. With Barnes also questionable, the wings could be pretty bad. Manny Harris and Dorian Finney-Smith should both get substantial minutes if Barnes is ruled out. Still out - Derrick Rose, Robert Covington, George Hill, Will Barton, Malcolm Brogdon What We're Waiting to Know Marc Gasol, Jamychal Green, and Tony Allen are all questionable against the Spurs Gasol and Green have been out for a few games, so we know what happens if they miss. Zach Randolph and Brandan Wright are both interesting plays in cash and tournaments. If Allen is out, I think Vince Carter and James Ennis see secured minutes. I'm willing to play either in the right tournament. Harrison Barnes is questionable to play for rest purposes The Mavs have no incentive to win, so it makes sense giving Barnes a game off if he's tired. With Seth Curry and Wes Matthews already ruled out, we may see Manny Harris and Dorian Finney-Smith get big minutes. They are both interesting plays against a Kings team who doesn't play much defense. The "Every Lineup" Guys LeBron...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 4/4/17 It’s a packed Tuesday pod with the NBA returning from their relative one-day hiatus. It’s late in the season but a lot of the teams going tonight actually have things to play for. The guys talk about some of the bigger money plays like Lebron, Jimmy Butler, Giannis and what to make of New Orleans tonight with some injury stuff hanging out there.
