Point Guard Ben Simmons FD - $8500 DK - $7600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 43.88 DK - 43.53 We’ve seen that in close games, the plan is to play Simmons minutes close to the 40 mark and that’s almost too good to pass up at these price points. The DraftKings’ price is particularly attractive under $8K and he offers so many ways to put up fantasy points. The rebounds hadn’t really come in bunches until last game, but he did pull down 12 boards in that one. I think if the expectation is 38-39 mutes then you live with the weird usage and the struggles at the free-throw line. Jordan Clarkson FD - $5300 DK - $6300Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 34.06 DK - 35.92 I know he’s struggled in this series, but without Mike Conley again, it’s really tough to pass up on Clarkson on FanDuel where he’s coming just too cheap. He’s struggled the last two games from the field, going 8-28 combined. But the minutes are there and the Jazz still sorely need him to create something off the dribble to survive the scoring margin with Conley out. I still think we can play him here because of the pricing with the idea that the minutes are rather safe and he’s unlikely to keep shooting this poorly. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $9200 DK - $8600Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 48.94 DK - 51.27 Paul George has been excellent in the last two games, taking advantage of the the Jazz defense around the perimeter and putting in high-volume shooting performances that have helped the Clippers climb back into this series. He’s shot 50% from three over the last two and for the series is averaging 27 points, eight rebounds and four assists. He’s still just too cheap on DraftKings and should be in line to hit value considering the minutes they are going to run him again. Bogdan Bogdanovic FD - $6200 DK - $6500Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 40.18 DK - 41.9 Bogdanovic played a ton of minutes in the Game 4 win for the Hawks. And his usage was through the roof with 24 shots in...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. It's a weird night of NBA DFS, with both of these games coming off of a game three blowout. If Conley plays, there is a relative lack of value since most of these teams have been playing set rotations since the playoffs began. That said, let's do our best to find some value. Point Guard Reggie Jackson FD - $5500 DK - $5200 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 28.52 DK - 29.82 Reggie Jackson's role looked in doubt in game one, with the Clips opting to try and chase Mitchell around with Patrick Beverley. It sure seems like the offensive is more stagnant with Jackson off the floor, though, and he immediately took 19 shots in game two. He lost minutes in the game three blowout, but if he's on the court for his full run (about 36 minutes) he should be what passes for a value play on a two-game playoff slate. The rest of the position is all over the place. If Conley sits, Clarkson becomes playable, but not exciting. Trae Young has been on pace for decent games on his prices, but Atlanta has been unable to hang. With a gun to my head I'd prefer Clarkson, but Young is passable if you have the money left over. I think I'd rather spend up on other stars, though. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $9200 DK - $8600 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 48.94 DK - 51.27 George has come close to paying these prices in back to back games in spite of both being lopsided affairs, and Kawhi taking some of the defensive burden against Mitchell certainly helps matters. PG is looking confident for the first time this playoffs, to me, aggressively going into the paint but not forcing things just to keep his shot count up. If you can extrapolate last game's performance to 40+ minutes you have a solid value on your hands. Seth Curry FD - $5500 DK - $5100 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 24.59 DK - 25.58 Curry has really exploited Atlanta's defensive holes in a way the Knicks were never able to, draining jumper after...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $8500 DK - $7400Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 39.59 DK - 40.04 Paul remains just a bit too cheap for what he’s doing in this series and the Nuggets have just no answer for the veteran point guard. He’s looking fully healthy from the shoulder issue that cropped up in the first round and was second in the team in shots in Game 3. The Suns are going to look to close this thing out and Paul is coming off a full stat line game with 27 points, eight assists and six rebounds. He’s dominated this series and the Nuggets’ backcourt has no defensive answers for him so far. That’s unlikely to change in what could be the final game in the series. Mike James (FD $4300 DK $3900) is coming cheap and is still getting some minutes for the Nets. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $7900 DK - $8100Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 47.51 DK - 49.7 It’s probably a little too much to pay for Booker on this slate, but the shooting guard position on this slate is very thin to begin with. His usage rate hasn’t been all that great this series though he did dial it up some in Game 3 scoring 28 on 11-23 shooting. Again, I’m not in love with this play, but the position is a moderate problem on FanDuel. You are overpaying some, but you might have to based on the player pool.  Bruce Brown FD - $5600 DK - $4700Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 29.84 DK - 29.44 Bruce Brown was amazing in Game 3 until the very end when he missed the Nets' last two shots and they went home with the loss. But from a fantasy perspective, it was everything you could ask for. He hit floater after floater and finished with 16 points on 8-17 shooting and added team-high 11 rebounds as well. He’s likely to be a popular option on this slate considering the mid-tier pricing. Small Forward Khris Middleton FD - $8200 DK - $7600Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 41.68 DK - 43.43 Middleton broke out of it in a big...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 6/11/21 The last few days of the NBA Playoffs have been bizarre. Wednesday night was blowout city with Phoenix destroying Denver, and then Thursday's games were all over the place. We should have some competitive games here, though, with both matchups having 1.5-point spreads. That means it's essentially a coin flip, and I honestly don't really have an opinion on who will win those games. I do have some opinions on who I like for DFS, though, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $9700 DK - $9300 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 49.21 DK - 53.74 Atlanta has been one of the biggest surprises in this postseason, and Trae is a major reason why. This young point guard has taken his game to another level, scoring at least 41 DraftKings points in all seven postseason games he's played. That has given him a 46-point average in these playoffs, some of the best fantasy production from any player in the league. That has earned him this $9,500 price tag, and there are only a couple of guys who have the same 40-point floor as Young. Facing Philly sounds tough, but Young averages 46.2 fantasy points per game in his four meetings this season. Chris Paul FD - $8200 DK - $7100 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 32.66 DK - 33.03 We were pretty concerned about Paul's health this time last week, but the Game 2 gem that CP3 posted put all of that doubt in the garbage. The future Hall-of-Famer collected 17 points, five rebounds, and 15 assists in that spectacular performance and did not commit a turnover. That's an amazing line, and it makes it hard to understand why he's only $7,100 0n DraftKings. It was actually his second-straight game in this series with at least 49 fantasy points, and he should have no problem duplicating that against this dismantled Denver defense. If he does reach that total, CP3 will be in every winning lineup out there. Facundo Campazzo has been sneaky good for Denver throughout the postseason and shouldn't be forgotten. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $8200 DK -...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. The big question for tonight surround's Mike Conley's status. We're going to proceed with this article as though he's out, but if he winds up playing that throws a significant monkey wrench into things. Point Guard Kyrie Irving FD - $9700 DK - $9700 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 57.12 DK - 58.23 Jrue Holiday FD - $8200 DK - $7600 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 41.81 DK - 42.17 Point guard is really hard tonight. Kyrie and Jrue are really the only safe options (unless Conley sits, more on that in a second), but neither is a classic value on these prices. The expensive price tags only complicate things, as you're playing sub-optimal plays for high price tags. Still, it's not all a disaster. Kyrie has been absolutely up to the task of going up against Holiday, and Holiday himself has a very nice match-up with Brooklyn. We can't expect the Bucks to be this bad (or the Nets to be this good) forever, so I think you just plug these guys in and try to find savings elsewhere. You'll have to make your own mind up about the Clippers point guards. I'd like to trust Reggie Jackson, but it's terrifying that he saw just 17 minutes in a close game 1. If Conley is out, Jordan Clarkson is close to a must play if he's going to play 28 minutes and take 18 shots off the bench. Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell FD - $9500 DK - $8900 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 45.24 DK - 47.51 With Conley out, Mitchell launched 30 shots into the air en route to 47 points from the field. It's clear that the Jazz think this is the main vector they can attack the Clippers' defense on, and if Beverley is only going to play 6 minutes per game the Clippers clearly don't have anyone to keep him in check. It's tough to spend up everywhere, but Mitchell looks like a must-play. Bruce Brown FD - $5900 DK - $4200 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 24.78 DK - 24.42 Brown was terrific in game two, compiling...
