Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 5/2/16 Playoffs
Happy Monday, y'all! It's another small slate today, and, get used to it - that's going to be the case for basically the remainder of the postseason. Just 1.1 rounds into this year's playoffs, and it's already been the craziest I've seen in my daily fantasy basketball career. It looked like we were headed toward some sanity in round 2, only to have the Spurs blow the doors off the Thunder in game 1. What will game 2 hold? Let's hold our breath and venture an educated guess.

Oklahoma City Thunder at San Antonio Spurs
Well, game 1 didn't exactly go as many predicted it would. Instead of a hard-fought game where the Thunder couldn't quite get it done, the Spurs ran them off the court. In spite of Kevin Durant looking reasonable against Kawhi Leonard (the big question going into the series), the Thunder got destroyed on account of an awful night for Russell Westbrook and an historic night from Lamarcus Aldridge. So what to make of game 2?
Well, Vegas still only likes the Spurs as a 7.5 point favorite - the very same spread as the Cavs/Hawks game. So, if we're not going to modify the Cavs/Hawks projections for blowout possibilities (and we're not), this looks like a situation to keep a steady hand with our projections for opportunity in this series. We've made some modifications, of course - I can't imagine the Spurs are going to let OKC off the Aldridge hook without making them prove they can get a stop first - but otherwise these picks are going to basically be the same as when Doug wrote them up a few days ago, with a few modifications.
Top Value Plays
Russell Westbrook - FD 10600 DK 10700
Opponent - SAS
FD Proj. Pts - 54.71 DK Proj. Pts - 56.59
Kevin Durant - FD 10000 DK 9500
Opponent - SAS
FD Proj. Pts - 44.95 DK Proj. Pts - 48.04
To get the bad news out of the way to start - neither would have paid their gaudy price tags in game 1, even if you prorated out their performance to the minutes we anticipate they'll get in game 2. I'm actually a little bit concerned about Durant - he's had trouble with Kawhi all season, and while this should turn around to some degree, it's going to be pretty difficult for him to flex huge upside here. Westbrook, on the other hand, should be a different story. He's also had his difficulties against the Spurs this year, but with Durant being swarmed by the Sharktopus, he's really got to step it up here. He'll have a mix of willing defenders on him throughout the game, but this just has all the makings of a game where he decides that the team just isn't going to get blown out unless he goes balls to the wall. I'm a buyer.
LaMarcus Aldridge - FD 8100 DK 7900
Opponent - OKC
FD Proj. Pts - 38.46 DK Proj. Pts - 39.22
He completely embarrassed the Thunder bigs in game 1, putting up 38 points on just 23 shots in 30 minutes. The Spurs were relentless, dumping him the ball repeatedly, and the Thunder simply couldn't come up with an answer. A word of warning - he'll be something of a chalk play here, and he's now pretty expensive for what we came to expect from him during the regular season. Still, it's hard to imagine Pop not at least forcing the Thunder to answer the opening gambit of rolling Aldridge possession after possession before pivoting to something else. I like him, even at these prices.
Tony Parker - FD 4700 DK 4600
Opponent - OKC
FD Proj. Pts - 22.14 DK Proj. Pts - 22.75
In spite of the blowout, Parker played more minutes than we projected for him in game 1. Since it seems like Pop would be unlikely to play him extra minutes in a game that's out of hand, I think it's fair to speculate that Parker is in line for more minutes than most expect going forward. At this point this looks like a price and opportunity mismatch, and if the Spurs do pivot for game 2, I expect Parker to be heavily involved here. This play carries some risk, but it will likely be what amounts to an off-beat play in a 2 game slate.
Serge Ibaka - FD 5600 DK 5600
Opponent - SAS
FD Proj. Pts - 27.42 DK Proj. Pts - 28.97
In a similar vein to Parker, Ibaka might have played high 30s minutes had the game stayed close, and he was the Thunder's most effective offensive weapon. Ibaka seems to have run bad on the boards, here - he's put up big rebounding totals against the Spurs earlier this season - and a bounceback on the boards and similar offensive production could make him a phenomenal play today.
The cheap guys I'd play: Manu Ginobili, Enes Kanter, Dion Waiters.
Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers
Analysis
This game will be perceived by many as the safer of the two games today, but Vegas pegs them as dead even. I will say that, anecdotally, the Cavs seem a lot less equipped for big blowouts than the Spurs to. To that end, I don't blame you if you believe this game to be the safer of the two on the slate today.
So what do we do with it from a fantasy perspective? Well, the Cavs certainly seem to be the more predictable of the two teams. They rolled with their core group throughout the Detroit series, even in games that were decided by fairly large margins. The Hawks, on the other hand, were all over the damned place. They had some insane performances (Millsap) and some incredible duds (Millsap, and many others). The Hawks/Celtics series was a bizarre back and forth of haymakers and heartbreakers, and I think Cleveland's more deliberate style will let the Hawks settle into more of a groove here. Cleveland is also totally unlike the Celtics in that they don't have the depth to spice things up much. Or maybe I'm just talking myself into this one being safe and boring - I think game 1 will tell us a lot.
Top Value Plays
Every starter on the Cavs
Which is admittedly weird, since the Hawks have the 2nd highest defensive efficiency rating this season, and played essentially a league average pace.
So you know what the big driver is? Simply put: minutes. The Cavs have consolidated minutes toward their starting 5 in a way that no other team in the playoffs has done thus far, and it's turned each of them into a value. If I had to rank them, I'd do it thusly:
Kevin Love - FD 7500 DK 8000
Opponent - ATL
FD Proj. Pts - 38.77 DK Proj. Pts - 41.56
LeBron James - FD 10300 DK 10300
Opponent - ATL
FD Proj. Pts - 53.51 DK Proj. Pts - 55.67
Both have been solid if unspectacular on these prices so far in the playoffs, but both are playing huge minutes right now, and both are offensive weapons the Cavs won't be able to ignore if they want to hang with the NBA's second best defense. Vegas likes Cleveland in this game, and their scoring is going to have to come from somewhere - I say it's going to be Love and James.
Tristan Thompson - FD 4500 DK 4100
Opponent - ATL
FD Proj. Pts - 24.52 DK Proj. Pts - 25.05
You heard me! You're basically deciding between Thompson and Horford at the center position if you want anything resembling safety, and Thompson should be relied upon for huge minutes with the twin towers that the Hawks throw out there. He might out-minute Love in this game - how's that for a bold prediction? Now, his performance is so erratic that it's hard to trust him completely, but that's why he's cheap, and I really like to spend up elsewhere today. So, I probably will.
J.R. Smith - FD 4600 DK 5000
Opponent - ATL
FD Proj. Pts - 23.84 DK Proj. Pts - 26.95
Kyrie Irving - FD 7800 DK 8100
Opponent - ATL
FD Proj. Pts - 38.59 DK Proj. Pts - 40.75
Our lineup optimizer is a hair less bullish on the Cavs backcourt than their front-court, but let's be clear - it really loves both of these two as well. Smith was actually the Cavs most consistent fantasy player from a value perspective in round 1, and Kyrie bookended the Detroit series with 2 very solid fantasy performances. Both have nice match-ups in Teague/Schroder and Korver, and I wouldn't be disappointed to get either in there today.
Paul Millsap - FD 8600 DK 8700
Opponent - CLE
FD Proj. Pts - 42.07 DK Proj. Pts - 43.68
He draws the best defensive match-up of any Hawk in round one today - the defenseless Kevin Love. It's the really nice thing about the Hawks, actually - with Horford down there to keep defenses honest, Millsap will almost certainly have to draw Love, and the Hawks are well positioned to take advantage of this mismatch. Millsap does carry significant risk, though. In spite of various Hawks battling nagging injuries in round 1, he wedged in a handful of crappy performances around his game 4 monster. I'm prepared for any Millsap to show up in this game, but I'm betting that coach Bud starts this one out by attacking Love and trying to get him off the floor.
Kyle Korver - FD 4100 DK 4700
Opponent - CLE
FD Proj. Pts - 20.98 DK Proj. Pts - 24.35
Dennis Schroder - FD 3500 DK 3100
Opponent - CLE
FD Proj. Pts - 18.23 DK Proj. Pts - 19.13
The optimizer has a strong preference for a stars and scrubs approach on Monday, and these two are slotting into many lineups. Korver's case is easy to make - JR Smith is the 2nd weakest link in Cleveland's defensive chain, and the Hawks' sharpshooter was terrific in each of the last 5 games of the Boston series. Schroder's case is one born simply of upside. He wrested a lot of minutes from Teague during round 1, and put up 25 fantasy points in the decisive game 7 on a minimum salary. He's also very erratic. Not sure if you can trust him for double-ups, but it does seem like the Hawks would like to play him 20 minutes off the bench each game.

I never disagreed with the optimizer like I do for this one. Just for one player. I can’t do Tristan Thompson. Just can’t. Not with kanter looking so tasty for just 200$ more. I get all the reasoning. And hell, I’m the optimizer’s biggest fan. (And this is really the only pick I won’t follow). I looked at my 33 lineups for the 3$gpp and couldn’t stand seeing Thompson in 16 lineups on my quick player replace. So I swapped him for kanter in 11 of them. Now with kanter at 14 lineups and Thompson at 4 I feel much better. But that’s just me. And again. Rolling hard with dfsr these last couple months. 32nd out of 110,00 on Friday. Overall cashed 57/99 lineups this weekend. My fav (and riskiest) lineup is:
Irving
Parker
Korver
D green
James
Baze
Aldridge
Love
Horford
I say this is riskiest because I fade Westbrook durant and Leonard. And I essentially roll with james and millsap, a repeat Aldridge performance and guys with super high ceilings/ low floors. I only have a couple iterations of that lineup. The lineup below is more along the lines of what I am rolling with. Following advice from dfsr on Cleveland minus Tristan (though why bite the hand that feeds you, he’s still in 4 lineups). I think kanter will remain low owned and is always a few situations away from busting open a big stat line. I think okc knows it needs offense from people not named Russell or Kevin. If okc has a chance, one of the two goes off and then someone low owned will step up huge. So I stayed away from having too many Westbrook durant lineups. I think I have lebron love in 75% of my lineups and lebron love Irving in 50%. Loooove the insight from dfsr on tony Parker and loaded him about 65% of my lineups.
My fav kanter lineup:
Westbrook
Parker
Ginobli
D green
James
Baze
Millsap
Love
Kanter
See, I disagree.. DONT PUT KANTER ANYWHERE.. THAT’S A MESS. He’s young, inexperienced, and in game 1 he was an embarrassment.r
ge
I Rocked em’ yesterday with Dragic at my point, Deng, Whiteside, Paul George, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson— and a’few others.. finished 11th out of 3000(something or another)
The point is: I know my shit.
so here you go —-> tomorrow’s lineup:
Parker
Irving
Green
sorry, not enough room
Parker
Irving
Green
Manu
Baze
James
Love
Horford(Your best bet) —- $$$$$
I feel like Green is to big of a hit and miss, especially with
J.R guarding Krover, I see 3’s for days from Krover on a weak SG night. Schroeder, Krover, Base, Love, Horford, Irving, Aldridge, Parker.
For me Schroeder is huge. He takes Teagues minutes, ATL uses him as a 6 man and seem set playing him 20+.
Take the 6000-8000 guys and run
I just want to thanks you,ben knapple. Your Westbrook,Parker,Ginobli,D green,James,Baze,Millsap,Love,kanter line up helped me win a free ticket into a baseball tournament on fanduel. So again….Thank you very much!
Note to add: looking back, I have Aldridge in 8/33 lineups. So I’m somewhat fading him. For the very reasons listed above by james. I think Aldridge will have a ridiculous high ownership level, his price went up a bit, and I think the thunder know that pop will throw that right back in their face. Or hell pivot. Either way I think Aldridge is more likely contained and his value can be replaced elsewhere. For a gpp, I’m betting on base to come close and therefor allowing me to spend on millsap/Westbrook/love. I think the thunder manage to bring this closer to a 95-90 final.
sidenote:
Kyle Korver has been red hot lately. … and he’s very cheap($4100) ——- BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE MATCH-UP.
J.R. Smith on Korver as opposed to Evan Turner and the Celtics poor defense… NO Avery Bradley freed up Korver some productivity. J.R. Smith gets the best of him here. —- NOW GET OUT THERE AND WIN SOME MONEY!! =) $$$$$$$$$$
ben knapple. We should definitely start helping each other out everyday on here. (With picks and such.) 😉
I’ve been winning alot of money – and it be nice to have another viewpoint on dfs seections. —->
I just want to say that if OKC keeps this game within single digits, it will be on the back of big scoring nights from Westbrook and/or Durant. It most certainly won’t be because of defense. This is to say that a 95-90 final score seems unlikely to me. If OKC keeps it close, both teams are going over 100.
Clay, I think otherwise on Korver. In he previous series we had KCP who was solid throughout and Korver is an even better 3pt shooter. I don’t think smith is as good as a defender as you’re making out to be. He is lazy and doesn’t offer many other stats other that points. That’s just my two cents I’m rolling with green and Korver in my lineup.
Man thanks for advice yesterday I finally won. If I would have used derozen over wade I would have tied for first but I won $300 with my last $3 dollars. Thanks!!!!!
To Clay. What picks would you say for fanduel today?
Thanks to everyone for the insights. I’ve been on a losing streak lately and last night lost again :(.
Now, if I can play with the optimizer and listen to all of you commenting here maybe I can win something. I appreciate the insights from you guys above (Ben and Clay) to compliment original strategies from the DFSR crew. Keep the comments going and let’s all win something.
Yeah – JR doesn’t play D
Korver is close to a chalk for me
Yea- Keep in mind all my picks are for fanduel gpp’s. So I’m always putting guys with a tad bit more risk out there than the optimizer will.
No Leonard ?!! He will crush his price if he get his full
amount of minutes. I think the game stay close in
game 2. Sorry Lebron, I’m taking Leonard over you
today.
Taking leonard over lebron is asking for trouble. Just my .02 The okc/sa game is wildly too unpredictable.
Don’t get me wrong imma have a lineup with Lebron too
Lmao
Im a fan of Kanter but i do have to say what have you done for me lately?
Its not what have you done for me lately in ddfs however. Im playing him simply because when compared to the other centers, I dont see any upside outside of horford. And if Kanter drops 35, and Horford drops 32, it was well worth it for Kanter. and this is kinda what Im predicting.
I tend to agree with Ben. I believe Kanter has a bounce back game. If you look back at all his games against the Spurs this year, he was lights out. Game 1 was his only off game and in that game he played hurt. According to rotoworld, he’s healthy. Secondly, the optimizer has been off in the playoffs. It’s pretty much a hit or miss.
I meant *25 not 35
In tourney play you do have to find that one player no one likes, just wish he would play 25 minutes cuz he would get those 35 points. Another lose & I believe we will see more of him and less of Adams
Optimizer off for the playoffs is an understatement…I cant believe yesterdays lineup…i rolled with the late game players and cashed in
What do u think about deniss schroder?
I’m running a few lineups (fanduel gpp) that completely fade the high priced guards. Here’s my favorite:
Parker
Schroder
Korver
Waiters
James
Leonard
Milsap
Aldrich
Horford
I’m pretty confident that the points will be there but I’m not sure Schroder and Waiters will give me enough separation. Opinions?
I wouldnt say that completely fades the high priced guys. You still have James, leonard and millsap. But still a great gpp lineup if it hits. Chances of schroder waiters, korver and aldrich all hitting are pretty slim, but so are chances of winning a gpp.
Thanks Ben! I meant to say “high priced GUARDS” . This one is going in a single entry $1 gpp. So if it doesn’t hit it’s no big deal, but if it does……
Fanduel won’t allow me to play anymore. Says due to location. I live in Texas. Anyone else have this problem. I play there everyday. Never been a problem before.
DK’s advice anyone?
Irving
Green
James
Milsap
Kanter
Ginobli
Love
Shroder
Kanter is hurt they talked about it all game on the okc broadcast, do not play him . And come on dfsr guys Leonard didn’t guard durant he guarded Wes that’s why Russ was shut down .
Any link that Kanter’s injury is affecting today’s game?
Ok. I can’t play fanduel anymore because I live in Texas but I can play Draftkings. Doesn’t make sense to me because they are the same thing. I was doing really well using the optimizer in fanduel Especially with baseball. Is the optimizer just as good for draftkings ? Anyone who plays both I would appreciate your input.
We’re in the same boat and I had to open a DK account over the weekend and still trying to navigate around in it. Funny thing about yesterday is I was cashing huge early, but that late game brought me way back down to earth. Thought I had the right guys for the late show, but I got trounced.
Thanks Nicholas
I will probably play Adams instead.
Nahh you should play Kanter, he said he was fine. He will
play better today
Make a lineup with both of these guys to play it safe
I kind of like Kanter if he’s not hurt of course. I appreciate the feedback. Thoughts on Westbrook, Love, Horford?
I like love for cash games better. I think Horford could
be the highest scorer on that position but I think he
will come up short because of his price. The Westbrook
one is tough, if you think he’s going to bounce
back in a big way, then go ahead nd put him in.
I think he comes around value but not enough
upside, with Leonard nd Spurs D all over him
Anyone trusting Danny Green tonight? SG position is a hit or miss tonight
Thinking about fading Westbrook for Irving tonight. Does anyone think that’s a good idea? I’m also fading Durant as well.
I’m leaning towards Kanter at center or Adams. And Westbrook will be tough like to said because of San Antonio’s swarming D on him but that’s when big players adjust and show up. Might have him in one or two lineups.
I am going with this today
Parker
Westbrook
Smith
Korver
Bazemore
Leonard
Millsap
Love
Thompson
Decided to leave out James and Durant, plugged into my Optimizer only really a difference of 10 points, but went with my gut with Leonard.
To the person who can’t play in Texas, today was the day they cancelled allowing us to play paid contests. After dealing with whoever was on their case about it being “gambling” fan duel didn’t want to go into a lawsuit. However draft kings hasn’t pulled out and from what I’ve read they may try and get a lawsuit. I think it’s crazy cause I thought fan duel was created in Austin.
It’s a shame that the people of each state cannot vote to decide to keep fantasy sports, but is left up to some crooked politician to determine what is legal or not.
Anyone think most people will fade Westbrook for the likes of saving money with guards like Irving, Parker, and Teague in order to pay up elsewhere?
This is my lineup. My last paid contest being in Texas so just trying to hit something I can cash out.
Westbrook
Schroeder
Korver
Green
Leonard
James
Ibaka
Love
Thompson.
I think the serge pick is wrong, and when you say when he starts rebounding again, it’s not going to happen if anyone has watched a okc game this playoffs it’s clear they are rolling him out with the sit in the corner and watch us shoot approach or we will kick it out to you. Hard to get any rebounds out there. And I think you guys are right on on the Thompson pick he did not match up well with Drummond last series but this one is completely different, might to ride him tonight before his price shoots up
When will Texas kick Fanduel, I also live in Texas just wondering. It’s funny how Politicians think they can control all aspects of our lives including Fantasy Sports. I am done voting as of today.
Rather than quit voting why not join me and others to vote those out who are behind this. The Governor and Atty General mainly.
Kyle rusher I agree with you. He should go back to that mid range close to the basket game he’s basically another spot up shooter now. I’m hoping he can just get some value off of his points and some defensive rebounds. Not my top choice for PF but he made it work! Just hoping he does me good.
Imo majority are picking smith/korver at sg and bron/baze/Leonard at sf. Am i crazy for doing a lineup fading majority of those guys? Maybe go waiters/manu and spend up at pf/c. Would appreciate it if someone else agreed with me. Better for my ego. 😉
You guys should fade both Kanter and Adams. Any one that is 6ft 10 and above off the street can dominate the Dallas front court. You can’t do that against the Spurs in the playoffs. Go with the security and plug in Horford. ATL has always played CLE well. Big AL will be ready for CLE. He can shoot the ball from mid-range where Drummond couldn’t. He adds a different dimension. He’s like a poor man’s Pau Gasol.
Does anyone else like delevandova on DK? His floor is relatively solid for his price. I think the optimizer is off on him.
I like Delly. But you have to look at his minutes. He hasn’t played much in the playoffs compared to other guards in the same price range. I would go with Schroeder if it were me. He offers more upside plus he can shoot and assist probably better than Teague, the guy in front of him. Delly is too much of a risk.
Kelly, I agree with what you are saying. I am extremely laughing right now entered a tournament this morning, but 10 minutes ago tried to enter a daily free roll and it wouldn’t let me because of my location meaning TX. At least I got one in brother.
Thompson gets 30 plus Fdp tonight
Rolling with this fd gpp lineup
teague
schoder
smith
korver
lebron
leonard
milsap
aldridge
thompson
I feel like the schoder/teague combo could hit major points along with the lebron/leonard milsap/aldridge combo. Thoughts?
I live in TX and I have been entering contests practically all day. Thats weird, I have got the account restricted error one Time before and all I did was close and open app and worked like a charm.
It’s funny how all these states are dropping like flies yet there is no overlay? Someone really needs to investigate robo lineups being inserted by these companies
green or manu? Its a mess trying to figure out their minutes
I have both spread out
I live in Texas as well, and have been getting those messages for a while now on both DK and FD… I know that FD is supposed to be going away for TX , but each time I get these messages I just close the app and re open it… let’s me continue
Thompson has always played good against Atlanta. Last 2 games he had 30+fdp against them. They are actually a poor rebounding team.
Both Millsap and Horford are both perimeter big men, so Cavs will look great on the glass today
I get that about Shroeder, but if you take out game one for Delly his minutes and points are only a little less than Shroeder and I think he could provide the same for less ownership.
On DK it’s possible to get Leonard, Millsap, Aldridge, Love and Horford but the issue is I have to roster Roberson with Delly and Green.
Roberson has seen an average floor over the course of the playoffs except for game one. My thinking is if those three guards hit 17-25 a piece, I could hit pretty big. Any thoughts?
Roberson got me .8 points game one of DK. That floor can ruin your night like it did mine
Well I just took all $42 out of my fan duel account.. I guess today really is the last day.
See ya’ll on draft kings!
I live in Texas and that happens to me a lot. Close out everything then reset your phone go back in and your lineup will be there and you can enter. I do it weekly

Draftkings just shut down a number of states, Idaho (mine), included. Did not see this coming. Thought there would at least be a, “starting in May…” type of heads up. Nothing. Any draftkings players run into this today? Any way to work around this? I’d assume not… Looks like i’m going to have to follow the Walrus to fantasy aces.
Who to play? manu, waiters, or green?
I want to give shout to thewalrus82 and fantasyaces!! Good stuff. I have been a solid winner on there. If you want to try something other then DK and FD, FA is awesome. Go check it out!!!!
Agreed! Walrus is great. Sad about this DK situation but grateful to have fantacy aces and advice from The Walrus so i can keep in on the action through the playoffs.
Thanks for the shout out, guys! Good luck tonight. Need to lick my wounds after my bank roll got beat worse than __(insert favorite punching bag here)__.
good bye from texas :[ fanduel is now banned from the state.. good luck you guys!
Does fantasy aces have an app?
JRite…no app…but their mobile website is super-b. It’s very easy to use.
Don’t sleep on tim Hardaway Jr tonight.
Guys, you didn’t know the FanDuel ban for Texas was in place for like, more than a month?? They announced it… And other states are coming. Some won’t – some legalize it and regulate it. So it’s going to be like weed, abortion, everything else in life… Although I don’t understand where it will land safe and where it wont. Cause New York is liberal and it’s banned, California wants to regulate it, Tennessee legalized it while Nevada banned it… Look up your states. In some states, DraftKings fights harder than FanDuel. FanDuel doesn’t want to repay customer losses in states that threaten it. Follow on YouTube if you want, fantasy forecast I talk about stuff like this. Texas, you guys are DK only now and that’s just what it is… And either FanDuel will be back there, or both will be not allowed at some point.
I’ve never played a 2 game slate before…this should be interesting
To those asking, it is possible to play DFS from a prohibited state, I’ve been doing it since my state banned it last year. I use my brother’s address in Boston and a VPN to spoof my location. It’s a lot of trouble, but I’m addicted
Hey guys!!!! Anybody think Mozgov sees the court against the Hawks??? I’m thinking he could be that guy tonight…. Thoughts????
Nobody thinks David West can have a good game? If the thunder gets blowed out again he plays a majority of the 3rd and 4th qt.
it’s been real rough boys………………………….and I mean ROUGH……………….only 33 cents left in my account so I am having to enter contests using my Fan Duel Points……….one $1 contest per night………………….somethings gotta give……………and I mean QUICK

Wow…..Horford owned only 24% in my tourney on FD, Thompson comes in at 27%, Kanter at 13%. Somebody is NOT going to be happy tonight.
BTW, I’m on Horford.
I didn’t roster Bazemore 🙁
horford a bum
Congrats on those who went TT. He is out playing horford smh.
im going to save my comments until the particular player is finished playing……………..but I must warn you……………..I am on the verge of getting a tad bit pissed
I will say this however………………….I hope horford and milsap don’t think scott and bazemore are gonna be able to lead the hawks to even one victory in this series…………….those two must step up or it will be a clean SWEEP
it would appeareth that korver sucketh balls
Korver………36 minutes……..3 points……………5 rebounds……………0 blocks……….0 steals…………………0 assists……………1 shot attempt………………….3 points on 3 free throws………………….PIECE OF SHIT….PIECE OF SHIT…PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
korver…………..9 fantasy points………………….worthless…………..inexcusable……………..only when I finally select him……………….WTH???
I second that Jim…SG that plays 38 minutes and scores 3 points..POS
clay good call on manu man that boy is balling
I used 3rd optimal tonight and while Korver sucked, schroder,Thompson and smith more than made up for it.
no more Korver for me scrub smh
Still no thoughts on David West?
I tried to tell people about Tristan Thompson. All season he’s been a charm on Atlanta. I bet next game they STILL can’t plan against him… Atlanta is one of the worst rebounding teams all season but it’s playoff basketball! It’s 0-0…
2nd half the spurs are gonna be on all cylinders… watch a blowout…
fuck it
Lol… tonight was a waste of money
If Donovan refuses to double team Aldridge the way he has refused to the two games, he should be fired!!! Make someone else beat you! He did it first game and is doing it this game. Run someone at him and make him give up the ball or take an tough shot! This is like watching a chimp handle a loaded gun the way Donovan is coaching ghis game
I’d fire Donovan in the locker room TONIGHT!! He’s a joke!!
Well that’s a first… made money on DK with only 6 guys.
300 pts from 6 guys and 0 pts from the other 2 guys.
Never picking parker or korver again! (This season)
how y’all feel about Adams
