NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup for Sunday - April 2nd

The NBA regular season wraps up one week from Sunday, which means we have just a week left of games. As teams try to readjust what they’re doing as they either push towards the playoffs or a higher lottery spot, you need to adjust your NBA daily fantasy strategy similarly. Luckily, we’re here to help you sort through the big slate this Sunday.

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup for Sunday – April 2nd

PG – Donovan Mitchell – CLE – $9,100

If you’re looking for the most bang for your buck when picking out a high-salary play this Sunday, look no further than Mitchell. He’s coming off back-to-back 40+ point games and has seen an uptick in assists during that time. If you’re worried that he can’t keep that going – remember that he gets the Pacers tonight, who are 29th in opponents’ scoring and 28th in allowing fantasy points to guards.

SG – Jordan Poole – GSW – $6,500

The Warriors seem determined to let Jordan Poole shoot the rock lately. He’s averaging 16.75 shot attempts over his last four games (compared with 11.25 in the four prior), and the results are there. He’s gone for at least 21 points in all those games and as high as 33. His fantasy production hasn’t slipped below 34.8 in that span, which is a fine floor for this salary.

Jordan Poole during the homestand:

27.0 PPG
50.7% FG
44.7% 3PT
85.7% FT
68.5% TS
+33
Only 2 TOV/game

SF – Luguentz Dort – OKC – $5,800

Thanks to some good rebounding, Dort has been getting some high-end production for his salary range in the last few games. He snagged a double-double on Friday, which nabbed him his second straight 30 fantasy point performance in a row. He’ll face the Suns on Sunday, who are the worst in the league in opponents’ rebounds over the last three games.

PF – Paolo Banchero – ORL – $7,500

The Pistons aren’t good and are particularly bad on the boards. They rank 25th in opponents’ rebounding percentage and 27th in opponents’ scoring. Banchero is coming off of back-to-back double-doubles with 24 and 30 fantasy points, respectively. He seems destined for another one tonight, making him an easy choice for this NBA daily fantasy slate.

C – Zach Collins – SAS – $7,000

Zach Collins is the type of high-floor guy you want in your lineup. He hasn’t been below 12 points or 7 rebounds in any of his last five games. He’s also averaging over a block a game and a steal a game in that time. He’s probably one of the safer guys you’ll find, as he can go off and push 50 fantasy points.

G – Cory Joseph – DET – $5,100

Joseph has quietly carved out a nice slice of the Pistons’ offense over the past few weeks. However, he’s found his feet in the last two games. He’s gone for 3 three-pointers and 5 dimes in both of those contests. The Magic happen to rank in the bottom third of the league in allowing those two things.

F – Corey Kispert – WAS – $5,500

Jordan Poole during the homestand:

27.0 PPG
50.7% FG
44.7% 3PT
85.7% FT
68.5% TS
+33
Only 2 TOV/game

At this daily fantasy price, it’s really hard not to pull the trigger on a guy who just went 9-of-14 from 3-point last game. Whether or not Kispert can repeat Friday’s performance remains to be seen. However, I’ll take a fraction of that at this price.

UTIL – Josh Christopher – HOU – $3,300

When you go digging in the bargain bin for that last pick, you’re looking for someone who is going to get minutes. Christopher, at the least, is doing that. He’s logged at least double-digit minutes in six of his last seven games. He’s never failed to get double-digit fantasy points in those games, either. The upside is probably right around six buckets, but that’d be just fine for what we’re spending on his salary.
