Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook: Best FanDuel, DraftKings picks, advice for April 5 image

Welcome back to the daily fantasy basketball Playbook for Tuesday, featuring daily fantasy picks, strategy and advice from Sporting News partners FantasyAlarm.com. 

We're going back to DeMarcus Cousins, who hasn't played since March 30. The Blazers have actually been able to contain Boogie this season, but he is still the best option at the position on FanDuel. We also love Pau Gasol if Derrick Rose (elbow) is out.
