Friday is finally here! The first day of April delivers 10 games as we head into the weekend. As I will continue stating through the close of the regular season, be sure to stay dialed in on the latest news as the day unfolds as rest becomes an issue down the stretch. Let’s take a look at a tournament lineup for DraftKings.

Point Guard
Reggie Jackson (DET): $5,800 vs. DAL
The Pistons will play host to the Mavericks tonight as they try to remain in the seventh seed of the Eastern Conference playoff race. Dallas is also trying to remain in the Western Conference playoff chase, so I expect a competitive game. Jackson draws a plus individual matchup and his price is down just a bit, making him a solid buy.
Shooting Guard
Courtney Lee (CHA): $4,000 vs. PHI
The Hornets are currently 15-point home favorites against the woeful Sixers, yet there are still some playoff seeding implications for Charlotte. Lee has averaged 36 minutes over the last two games while scoring 27.5 and 32.5 fantasy points in each contest respectively. He’s a decent source of three-pointers and in a prime matchup, Lee is worth rolling the dice on in tournaments.
Small Forward
Carmelo Anthony (NY): $8,500 vs. BKN
Anthony has been logging heavy minutes as the season winds down, and he finished the month of March with strong numbers. The Nets present a good matchup for Anthony, who has 50 fantasy point upside on any given night.
Power Forward
Jabari Parker (MIL): $5,700 vs. ORL
This is a plus individual matchup for Parker, who has played at least 35 minutes in eight out of the last 10 games. Over the last four games, Parker has averaged 31.1 fantasy points per contest, including 38.75 on Wednesday night. He has upside of seven times his current salary tonight and is a strong midrange play against the Magic.
Center
Andre Drummond (DET): $7,400 vs. DAL
The Mavericks rank 26th in team rebounding rate, which puts Drummond in position for a big game tonight. He has averaged 45.3 fantasy points per game over the last four contests, which leaves him very underpriced at this level. He is a virtual lock for a double-double every night and he should log another tonight.
Guard
Dwyane Wade (MIA): $7,200 @ SAC
The Heat receive a massive boost in pace tonight as they face the Kings, who are a poor defensive team. Wade has a strong individual matchup and he’s coming off two straight games of at least 49 fantasy points. Miami still has a chance to catch the Hawks for the division lead, so I expect a full allotment of minutes for Wade tonight.
Forward
Jae Crowder (BOS): $5,300 @ GS
Coach Brad Stevens has wasted no time in getting Crowder back into the rotation and while there is a bit of concern due to playing last night, I think it’s a risk worth taking. This contest has a projected total of 222 points as it features two of the top three teams in regards to pace. This is the type of scoring environment in which Crowder should thrive and he provides a modest boost in three-point scoring.
Utility
Shelvin Mack (UTA): $6,000 vs. MIN
Utah plays host to the defensively challenged Timberwolves in a crucial game for the Jazz’s playoff hopes. They are clinging to the eighth seed in the Western Conference and with a strong matchup on deck, Mack should provide a nice fantasy line tonight.
