Fantasy Basketball Value Picks: Top DraftKings NBA DFS Bargain Plays for Monday 4/20/26

DraftKings Fantasy Advice DFS NBA Rail

The NBA Playoffs continue Monday with a three-game slate. DraftKings continues to offer huge contests for DFS players, and below, I dive into two of my favorite bargain plays for this slate.

Set your DraftKings fantasy basketball lineups here: NBA $350K Shootaround [$100K to 1st]

SF/PF, Cameron Johnson, Denver Nuggets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, $4,700

This is a great time to buy low on Johnson. The wing finished with just 14 FPTS in Saturday’s Game 1 vs. the Timberwolves. As a result, Johnson should come with depressed ownership tonight and his salary has dropped to $4,700, which is the cheapest he has been on DraftKings since November. While Saturday’s performance was a letdown, Johnson still logged 33 minutes and prior to this, the veteran was on a roll, scoring 44.25, 36.75, 34.5 and 27.75 in his previous four.

Johnson is shooting 56% from the field in his last five and Peyton Watson (hamstring) will miss his seventh straight tonight, guaranteeing Johnson another large role in the 30-35-minute range. Johnson is producing 0.8 FPTS per minute with Watson off the floor this season and the former should bounce back tonight with at least 25 FPTS.

PF/C, Collin Murray-Boyles, Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers, $3,900

Murray-Boyles had a strong playoff debut in Saturday’s Game 1 vs. the Cavaliers, posting 24.5 FPTS in 20 minutes off the bench. The rookie handled a 20% usage rate and shot a stellar 7-of-8 from the field. This was a continuation of some impressive play by the rookie to close out the regular season. Including Game 1, Murray-Boyles has scored at least 23 FPTS in seven of his last eight, including two outings north of 30 FPTS.

Murray-Boyles has been much more effective than starting center Jakob Poeltl as of late and the Raptors giving Murray-Boyles a few extra minutes in Game 2 wouldn’t be surprising. Nevertheless, the versatile big man should see around 20 minutes tonight and is one of the top punt plays this short slate has to offer. Since the All-Star break, Murray-Boyles is supplying 1.1 FPTS per minute with a 17% usage rate.
