4/25 NBA DFS Full Court Press
Welcome to another year of the DFS Army NBA Full Court Press! Members had a ton of success using the Full Court Press along with various articles and tools that DFS Army provides last season, so we are glad to be back with another year of the all-inclusive article. You have to start your research somewhere, and oftentimes going game by game and breaking down every matchup and its key players is the first step in our process. My name is Steve aka @Mutt18 on Twitter, make sure to give me a follow as I’ll occasionally make updates to the advice in the article. But, you’ll mostly find me in our VIP coaching forums where I provide detailed lineup maneuvers and answer all lineup questions. We also have NEW pricing options, where you can sign up for WEEKLY access as opposed to be committed for a full month, so you have no excuse to try us out! With that said, let’s get it started!

Boston Celtics @ Brooklyn Nets
Vegas Total: 220
Vegas Spread: Bkn -1
Celtics are looking to put the nail in the coffin here, as they are up 3-0 and look unstoppable. Jayson Tatum is having a huge series and should continue that tonight as the Nets have no answer for him. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart are also premier plays here tonight at their prices, and this game also has the highest total on the slate as well. Daniel Theis and Al Horford should also continue to start here, Theis is a decent value but I expect the C’s to be careful with Robert Williams back. Horford has been great this series as well and is still decently priced here. I won’t play anyone off the C’s bench though outside of Derrick White but he is an MME type play at best.
Now for the Nets, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant both need to have huge games here if they want to keep this series alive. Durant has looked lost this series so my preference will be Kyrie, but both are in play. Bruce Brown has been super productive at home, but he is priced up on both sites with that production. Seth Curry and Andre Drummond are both starting as well, I like Curry for some value as he had a bad game but should bounce back. Nic Claxton is eating into Drummond’s minutes, he’s a nice option here and I like him over Drummond as he’s been the better of the two in this series.
5-star play: Jayson Tatum, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant
4-star play: Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Al Horford, Bruce Brown
Deeper Value: Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, Nic Claxton, Daniel Theis, Al Horford
GPP Sleeper: Jaylen Brown, Derrick White

Toronto Raptors @ Philadelphia 76ers
Vegas Total: 209.5
Vegas Spread: Phi -7.5
Starting with the Raptors, they have Scottie Barnes back but lost Fred VanVleet to a hip injury. Malachi Flynn is the likely candidate to replace him here but we don’t know what Nick Nurse will do as they can start Gary Trent at the point and OG Anunoby at the 2 guard here so we’ll have to see who the starters are, but if Flynn starts he’ll for sure be a core play. Pascal Siakam also took over last game and I’d expect him to do that again here so he’s a premier play on this slate as well. Chris Boucher is gonna be a nice play here as well, he should see 20+ off the bench and may even start here which be awesome at his price on FanDuel. If you’re looking for other value, Precious Achiuwa and Khem Birch will be the guys you look for but you want the one who starts.
Now for the 76ers, the Raptors are going to make life tough for Joel Embiid here, but he is always in play here as well even at this price. James Harden is gonna be the guy you want here at under 10K, love him in all formats here. Tyrese Maxey is also a guy I want shares of here tonight as he plays much better at home as we saw in the first two games, he may be a core play for me tonight as well. Tobias Harris is also having a great series but his price has come up as well across the board. Matisse Thybulle will also be back here, between him and Danny Green one of them will be in play here depending on who starts for value. That is about all that I want to touch here from this Sixers team though.
5-star play: Pascal Siakam, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey
4-star play: Gary Trent, Scottie Barnes, Chris Boucher, Tobias Harris, Joel Embiid, OG Anunoby
Deeper Value: Matisse Thybulle, Chris Boucher, Precious Achiuwa
GPP Sleeper: Matisse Thybulle, Chris Boucher
Utah Jazz @ Dallas Mavericks
Vegas Total: 213
Vegas Spread: Dal -3
Starting with the Jazz, this is almost a do or die game for them here as they need this win here to get back home with a series lead. Donovan Mitchell is gonna be the best option here, I think he has a big game here and will be underowned. Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic are also solid mid-range plays, both have some decent upside at their prices. Rudy Gobert is likely gonna be a fade for me here, as he does not matchup well against these Mavericks bigs. Jordan Clarkson is also a solid GPP option here tonight as he is scoring dependent but could go crazy in this matchup. If you want some value, Royce O’Neale is decent but he is very hit or miss as well.
Now for the Mavericks, Luka Doncic is the obvious top option here, especially given how big this game is for Dallas, love him in all formats and I doubt he’ll be limited at all. Jalen Brunson is also a top play here, his price has come down but his usage does come down with Luka back but that’ll keep ownership off of him. Dwight Powell is a solid value option here as well, he’s pretty solid along with Maxi Kleber who is a nice option for value here, especially as he plays better at home as well. Spencer Dinwiddie is also a solid option at his price and he’ll be low owned as well.
5-star play: Donovan Mitchell, Luka Doncic
4-star play: Mike Conley, Bojan Bogdanovic, Jalen Brunson, Spencer Dinwiddie
Deeper Value: Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber, Jordan Clarkson, Royce O’Neale
GPP Sleeper: Royce O’Neale, Maxi Kleber
