Point Guard / Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11600 DK - $11600Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 61.62 DK - 65.83 It’s all on the line in Phoenix on Sunday (as it is in Boston) and we are likely to see max minutes out of all the major players. Luka is sure tough to fade at this point considering he does literally everything for the Mavericks and has really all season long. For the series, Doncic is averaging 32 points, 10 assists, and 7.5 rebounds in about 37 minutes per game. The funny thing is that the overall minute total is low because so many of these games have been blowouts one way or the other. The reality (if things stay close) is that he’s playing 42+ minutes in this one and should be able to beat those averages. Jrue Holiday FD - $9000 DK - $8200Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 48.64 DK - 49.28 We could see Jrue play nearly the whole game here for the Bucks and considering how important he is for their chances to win, they will be hard-pressed to take him off the court at all. Holiday struggled in Game 6, going only 7-17 from the field while failing to get much going in terms of rebounds or assists either. But for the series, he’s still putting up a 21/6/6 line even with that relative stinker. The DraftKings price is still a place to go especially if you don’t think you can fit the two superstars in Luka and Giannis. Derrick White FD - $5000 DK - $4600Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 27.26 DK - 27.36 White offers one of the few ways to save on this slate even though he’s not strictly a punt play option. But sitting in the lower middle tier is a way to start saving some dollars and he’s been playing real minutes off the bench for the Celtics. White has played 30 or more minutes in each of the last three games, putting up 10 points, five rebounds, and four assists in that stretch. That’s good enough to play on these tight slates when you need to prioritize the...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $9000 DK - $7900Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 48.64 DK - 49.27 The DraftKings price is still kind of a joke. Following some of the best defensive plays you’ll ever see in sequence (go back and watch the last seven seconds of this game) one has to believe Jrue is ready to roll here once again. He’s averaging 22 points, seven rebounds, and six assists for this series with three steals + blocks to boot. He’s been amazing, no way around it. Though the FanDuel price has come up to meet this, the DK salary is too low. Tyus Jones FD - $7200 DK - $5700Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 36 DK - 36.38 The Grizzlies are a pretty crazy team. It shouldn’t make any sense for them to go into Game 5 of this series without Ja Morant and summarily go out and take down the Warriors by 39 (39!!!) points, winning 134-95 and sending this series back to Golden State. That kind of thing simply doesn’t happen within the context of a regular basketball playoff series. But here we are. Tyus Jones has seen the price increase on FanDuel for sure, but the DraftKings salary is still very much in the sweet spot here. And it’s clear that Memphis intends to play him a lot of minutes if the game is even remotely close. Dillon Brooks FD - $5800 DK - $6000Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 37.67 DK - 38.13 The price is still kind of. a joke if this game is close and the Grizzlies need everything they can get in order to hang with the Warriors on the road. Sure, Brooks had a disaster of a time out in Game 4, but he turned it around to some degree in Game 5 and scored 25 FanDuel points in just 24 minutes. With Ja off the court, his usage goes way up and the price isn’t anything close to matching the opportunity on a full minutes load. I think this is a pretty easy play. Small Forward Giannis Antetokounmpo FD - $12000 DK - $11900Opponent - BOSProj Pts...

Guards Luka Doncic FD - $11700 DK - $11500 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 61.03 DK - 67.25 One thing is clear on these small playoff slates and that is the importance of locking in and building around the consistent raw points plays. Tonight, that is Luka who enters game six averaging 32 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 7.4 assists in the series and has tallied at least 50 DK points in each game, and has a 70-point upside. There should easily be enough value to load up on Luka in all formats. Max Strus FD - $4600 DK - $5100 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 22.51 DK - 25.87 The mystery in Miami right now is the number of Heat players that continue to be listed on the injury report despite being healthy. Max Strus is one of them and of all the guards who have stepped in with Lowry out, he has seen the most time on the floor playing at least 27 minutes in all five games. Hitting value has been hard to come by but the good news is that he is coming off his best game in the playoffs and is better than his 39.5% shooting % this series(career 45% shooter). Small Forward Jimmy Butler FD - $10500 DK - $9800 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 49.02 DK - 51.15 The price has finally started to go up on Butler who is having a very solid playoff run for the Heat averaging 27 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 5.9 assists over nine games. That has translated to a very high floor for fantasy as he has topped 45 DK points in seven of those nine games and also flashed big upside topping 60 three times. Butler will look to lead the Heat to a series victory on the road tonight and he is easily one of our top plays in all formats. Power Forward/Center Jae Crowder FD - $5100 DK - $5400 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 26.6 DK - 28.46 There is a path to stacking Butler and Luka tonight but it is not for the faint of heart and includes...

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 / Shooting Guard Tyus Jones FD - $5700 DK - $4900Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 36 DK - 36.38 The Grizzlies were able to hang in the game last time out even without Ja Morant thanks to some increased defensive pressure and the Warriors also just missing a ton of shots. Now they are on the brink of elimination and will be without Ja for this game and going forward. Tyus Jones played 41 minutes in Game 4 finishing with 19 points, six rebounds, and five assists. It’s hard to imagine he gets the same run this time out, but you also are still getting him at a relative bargain considering the upgrade he gets with Morant out. I think this is still a pretty easy play. Marcus Smart FD - $6300 DK - $5900Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 34.99 DK - 35.11 He ramped up the minutes to more than 40 last game and that should be the case moving forward for the rest of the series. He *only* took 13 shots in that run but finished with 18 points and eight assists. He only had two defensive stats, but for a player like Smart, that’s at the low end of the expectation if this is how long he’s going to be on the court. I really like the DraftKings price in the middle tier and think he helps ease some salary concerns while also providing safety with the minutes. Strongly consider Klay Thompson (FD 6200 DK 7400) Small Forward Giannis Antetokounmpo FD - $11500 DK - $11600Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 68.99 DK - 70.8 If Giannis is going to play 40+ minutes a game then we aren’t at a breaking point with his price yet. Sure, the Celtics' defense is a tough out, but we are talking about a guy who can literally do it all from a fantasy standpoint. And now he’s playing max minutes. That’s just too good to pass up and the Memphis guys allow for the savings. For the series, he’s averaging 32 points, 13 rebounds, eight assists, and more than two blocks+steals. He’s just a superstar’s superstar and really none...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11200 DK - $11400Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 60.08 DK - 64.22 Jalen Brunson FD - $6700 DK - $6400Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 35.03 DK - 36.07 We said it before, but for the Mavericks to win these two will have to, in many ways, share the load on offense in such a way that the Suns can’t totally shut Luka down. That’s basically what’s happened over the last two games, both wins for Dallas. Brunson has averaged 23 points, four assists, and four rebounds in that stretch and it’s been critical for keeping the Suns on their toes. I suspect the usage sticks in this range going forward. And of course, there’s Luka who we already know is among the best ever to do it on the fantasy end. He’s averaging a sick 33 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists for this series and has been every bit the superstar. There aren’t many more cases to be made for this guy that hasn’t already happened. It’s pretty easy to play this guy and just sacrifice salary on the other end of the spectrum. It’s the nature of these playoff slates. Max Strus FD - $4100 DK - $5000Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 24.49 DK - 26.83M Look, with these playoff slates we need to just try to roster minutes on the cheaper side and not worry all that much about the results. The latter part is because the whole point is getting the superstars. That’s the whole point. Strus and his 30+ minutes for the Heat are the reason for that and we are basically just needing him to knock down the three-point looks that he’s going to get in this offense. The FanDuel price is a pretty easy play at this point all things considered. Small Forward Jimmy Butler FD - $10800 DK - $9500Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 46.68 DK - 48.76 He’s had a solid series and the minutes are likely to stick in the 40s from here on out considering he’s Miami’s most important player. He’s coming off scoring 40 points in Game 4...
