Point Guard / Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11700 DK - $11400Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 59.5 DK - 65.6 Like Giannis yesterday, Luka is very expensive though it’s for a very good reason. Even in the loss against the Suns in the first game, Luka played 44 minutes and took 30 shots. He finished with a whopping 45 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists. And the Mavericks are going to need everything from Doncic and more to get through this series. The Suns are just such a tough out at this point. He should continue playing minutes in the mid-40s as long as the games stay close and that’s enough for him to make good on these salaries. He’s just that good. Tyler Herro FD - $6000 DK - $6800Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 30.88 DK - 35 Herro took the most shots on the team for Miami in Game 1 with 17 even though he only played 29 minutes in the affair. I’m a little concerned that 30 minutes might be around the max for Herro considering he actually closed this one out despite the score being a little out of hand by the end. Because he comes off the bench, in this way the run is a bit capped in a way we don’t see from starters. But his usage rate goes up with Lowry out of the mix and he’s asked to play on ball more as well. He ended up with 25 points and seven assists in that game and isn’t going all that expensive. He’s especially a bargain on FanDuel. Gabe Vincent FD - $4600 DK - $4700Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 24.04 DK - 26.9 Vincent should continue starting for the injured Kyle Lowry and he’s still coming cheap enough on both sites to warrant a play. In fact, his salary is what makes it a bit easier to pay up for guys like Luka and some others that we will get to shortly. Vincent took 12 shots in Game 1, the third-most on the team and finished with 10 points and three rebounds and assists each. It’s not an overwhelming line...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $8400 DK - $8300Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 46.27 DK - 46.88 The Bucks handled the Celtics with relative ease in the first game of the series, winning by 11 and not having to break all that big of a sweat. Holiday took the second-most shots on the team with 20 and finished with 25 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and three steals. It was a complete line and he easily paid these prices. I think he should be in store for that kind of production throughout the series and, if anything, the minutes could tick up as things move along. He should continue to be a popular play as long as Middleton is out of the lineup. Marcus Smart FD - $6300 DK - $6200Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 30.37 DK - 30.47 Smart only played 32 minutes in the first game, but much of that was due to heading to the locker room in the first half which, at the time, looked to be a pretty bad shoulder injury. But he returned and played through it, finishing with 10 points and six assists. He struggled some from the field, going 3-11 though the same can be said of pretty much every Celtic. I think the price is fine considering in a normal game he’s going to push towards 40 minutes. He picks up enough stats along the way to justify it.  Dillon Brooks FD - $5000 DK - $5500Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 32.08 DK - 34.07 Desmond Bane FD - $6400 DK - $6700Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 40.59 DK - 43.72 Both of these guys were bad in Game 1 though there is at least some context around that. Brooks was in foul trouble and had his minutes shaved because of it. And Bane struggled from the field with his shooting, going just 3-10. These two things combined with Jaren Jackson Jr. not getting into foul trouble and taking full run and usage off the table. I don’t think all of those things can combine once again. And also, Ja Morant took a whopping 31 shots,...

Guards James Harden FD - $9800 DK - $9800 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 57.4 DK - 62.78 Doncic may top the board in terms of overall projection but with the discount on both sites, James Harden is easily our #1 PTS/$ play on this two-game slate. The 76ers got it tough here with the loss of Joel Embiid for at least the first two games but for fantasy, it gives a huge boost to Harden who was up and down against Toronto but will be asked to carry the load here which gives him an extremely high floor and ceiling at these prices. Lock and load! Gabe Vincent FD - $4800 DK - $4400 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 24.04 DK - 26.9 To fit a couple of big names like Harden or Doncic in our lineups tonight, we are going to need some value and Vincent provides just that as he is expected to get the start for the third straight game with Kyle Lowry out. He played 27 and 30 minutes in games 5 & 6 against the Hawks taking 17 shots and dropping 24 fantasy points in each. At his price on both sites, I will take that if it means being able to free up some salary. I will have a ton of exposure in all formats. Chris Paul FD - $10100 DK - $9100 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 43.85 DK - 46.72 The system is overwhelmingly leaning on stars and scrubs tonight and paying up for Doncic and Harden but also like having some exposure to Chris Paul. Outside of game four with Devin Booker returning, he has been elite for fantasy averaging 54 DK points in the other five games. The usage is most definitely down with Booker back but he more than makes up for it with his elite distribution skills. If there is a chance he will be the 3rd of 4th highest owned guard tonight, I love going overweight in this spot and having more than the field. Small Forward Jimmy Butler FD - $10700 DK - $9200 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 45.34...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9500 DK - $8900Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 47.91 DK - 49.92 Curry is coming too cheap on DraftKings at sub-$9K and now that he’s fully back in the starting lineup, the minutes should press towards 40 as long as the game stays close. He took 22 and 23 shots in each of the last two games, putting up 30 and 33 points respectively. He was able to get after it on the defensive end with six steals total in that span and he’s likely to keep the assists in the 6-7 range at least. The Grizzlies are going to have their hands full with Curry in this series and the Warriors in general are looking like a very tough out. Jrue Holiday FD - $8100 DK - $8200Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 46.27 DK - 46.88 For the Bucks to be ultra-competitive in this series Jrue is going to need to be pretty amazing considering Milwaukee is still without Khris Middleton for the foreseeable future. It was hit or miss for him last series with the shooting not completely there on a consistent basis, and more of the playmaking duties fell onto Giannis’s shoulders as well. But Holiday still averaged 16 points, seven rebounds, and five rebounds over 36 minutes per. It stands to reason that the run increases with games staying closer here. He’s going to have Jayson Tatum duties on the defensive end which is a task in and of itself, but he’s still a good play here. Klay Thompson FD - $6500 DK - $7100Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 38.55 DK - 41.03 He’s got the minutes ramped up to 40 which he played in the closeout game against the Nuggets last time out. If that’s going to be the case then I think are still getting him as a solid value play on FanDuel. It’s a bit tougher on DraftKings where he’s gotten a bit too expensive. Sure, Curry joining the starting lineup doesn’t help the usage rate, but he averaged 17 shots per game over the Denver series and lit it up at 43% from...

Guards Luka Doncic FD - $11000 DK - $11000 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 58.11 DK - 63.73 The Mavs will be looking to close out the series on the road tonight and on this small slate, there is one superstar I am paying up for and that is Luka. He missed the first three games of the series but has been money since his return shooting 51% on 43 shots in two games and averaging around 55 fantasy points on both sites.  During the regular season on a larger slate I would likely have avoided this matchup but Dallas has had Utah's number outscoring them by over six points, the second-largest margin in the playoffs. It won't be easy building around an 11K player but worth it as he has an elite floor and upside. Chris Paul FD - $10200 DK - $9300 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 48.95 DK - 51.37 The Suns will be without Booker for a fourth straight game and that immediately puts Chris Paul on the fantasy radar. The price has risen but he has put the team on his back leading the Suns to a 3-2 series lead with a chance to close things out in New Orleans tonight. For the series, he has taken at least 16 shots in four of the five games while shooting 49% and averaging a double-double on 20.2 points and 12 assists per game. He has also hit value in four of five games and we have him projected to hit and exceed it once again putting him in play in all formats. Jordan Clarkson FD - $6300 DK - $5800 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 23.19 DK - 26.08 Value is tough to come by at the guard position tonight so I will dive into the Utah bench and roll with one of the best 6th men in the league. Clarkson got off to a slow start in the first three games of the series but has picked it up considerably over the last two and it starts with the volume as he has taken 31 shots while shooting a smooth 58% from...
