Guards Ja Morant FD - $9900 DK - $9800 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 52.27 DK - 55.93 The Grizzlies evened up the series in a game two blowout win on the back of another impressive performance by MVP candidate Ja Morant. He dropped 8 of 16 shots and came just one rebound shy of a triple-double and has now dropped 50+ fantasy points in both games. With the price remaining under $10K on both sites for a player who is carrying his team on his back, I will have a ton of exposure in all formats tonight. Jalen Brunson FD - $8000 DK - $8000 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 41 DK - 44.06 We aren't going to know the status of Luka Doncic until closer to game-time and even if he plays there is a strong chance he won't get a full run coming off that calf injury. That means we are clear to fire up Jalen Brunson who has been terrific in Luka's absence playing 40+ minutes in both games and taking an insane 49 shots combined and shooting nearly 50% from the field. Shooting is not all we get with Brunson, either, as he has combined for 15 rebounds and 10 assists in the first two games of the series. Obviously, it will be a bit of a downgrade if Luka plays but Brunson is in play for me either way in game three. Will Barton FD - $6000 DK - $5800 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 31.64 DK - 34.92 The Nuggets have been manhandled in the first two games and now return home finding themselves in a 0-2 hole. MVP candidate, Nikola Jokic, provides a very solid fantasy floor but at his price it makes lineup construction nearly impossible on this small slate. With that, I turn to Will Barton who comes in the mid-range of pricing on both sites and has been very solid in both games. He has put 33 shots in the two games and also added a ton of secondary fantasy scoring with 16 rebounds and seven assists. He has been a 5x lock this series and...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $7400 DK - $7600Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 43.75 DK - 46.83 Zach LaVine FD - $7700 DK - $7200Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 40 DK - 42.05 This does feel like the game we want to have the biggest piece of on this slate considering the matchups, the total, and the fact that there are middle-tier guys who are set to run a ton of minutes. We have to make hard choices on these three-game playoff slates where the starters and superstars for every team are set to see the lion’s share of the minutes and the fantasy output. It’s just the way of things at this point and we can’t fit every big-money play into lineups. Holiday ran close to 40 minutes in the first game and that should be the case from here on out. He had a balanced line of 15 points, six rebounds, and six assists, taking the second-most shots on the team with 16. I don’t think he’s in the class of the Kyrie Irving’s or James Harden’s, but he’s priced so far below those guys that he makes for a better dollar-for-dollar play. And then there is Lavine who is coming even cheaper and should see minutes pushing up towards 40 minutes as well if the game can stay close. That latter part is the real question, but I think we can take the risk. He struggled some from the field in Game 1, going 6-19 and just 2-10 from three, finishing with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Again, like Holiday, that he is coming in the middle tier instead of the upper makes it easier to fit the salary and work in other plays who also have high floors. We can’t take a total stars and scrubs approach here considering there really isn’t much in the way of punt plays. Khris Middleton FD - $6800 DK - $7400Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 39.95 DK - 41.44 Middleton played 39 minutes in the first game of the series, finishing with 11 points, six assists, and five rebounds, an underwhelming stat line to say...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Trae Young FD - $9500 DK - $9300Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 50.87 DK - 55.41 He was completely terrible in the first game, I get it. Could Miami have his number throughout? Maybe. It’s certainly possible. But I also don’t want to completely overreact to one game either knowing what kind of dynamic offensive talent Trae is when things are all rolling. He shot 1-12 in that first game, an affair that turned into a blowout. I don’t think we can project that for every game, and there’s a world in which things stay close and he murders this number. I’m going back to the well on Trae here with the idea that we are getting him at something of a discount all things considered. Kyle Lowry FD - $7000 DK - $6300Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 34.54 DK - 36.09 He didn’t play a ton in the first game mostly because he didn’t have to. It turned into a blowout early and no one on the Heat side of things was taxed all that much. I don’t think Miami blows them out over the course of the whole series and I do think we can project Lowry in the upper-30s in terms of minutes which definitely makes him a value play. Even in just 29 minutes on Sunday this guy went for 10 points and nine assists with a couple of steals and four rebounds. He’s just coming too cheap on DraftKings especially. C.J. McCollum FD - $8400 DK - $8100Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 44.78 DK - 46.17 As long as the game stays even remotely close, we can bank on C.J. McCollum playing a million minutes. The Pelicans need every bit of the production and there’s a reason he ran 43 minutes out of the gate. Considering New Orleans needs his scoring in the worst way, as long as there’s a sliver of hope he has a super high floor at these prices. In the first game of the series, CJ played 43 minutes, took a team-high 25 shots, and finished with 25 points, eight rebounds, and six assists. It’s...

Guards Jalen Brunson FD - $7300 DK - $7200 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 40.24 DK - 43.26 Donovan Mitchell FD - $8600 DK - $8300 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 44.01 DK - 48.52 There are a ton of guards on this small slate and James Harden almost took the top spot but a more balanced approach is probably the key once again, so let's start with game two between the Jazz and Mavericks. First things first, Luka is doubtful and is likely to miss a second straight game and that should lead to another heavy workload for Jalen Brunson. With Luka off the floor this season, Brinson seen around a 5% boost up to 29% usage and that carried over in game one as he had a team-high 24 shots and ended with 39.8 DK/38 FD points. The price remains the same so let's lock in that PTS/$ value in all formats. On the other side of that game one was Donovan Mitchell who led all players with 29 shot attempts finishing the game with 32 points and 12 rebounds+assists for 50+ fantasy points. It was a similar performance(fantasy points wise) to James harden but Mitchell comes at a discount of over $1,000 on both sites. This has him slightly ahead on my priority list tonight and safe in all formats. Will Barton FD - $5700 DK - $5500 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 31.64 DK - 34.92 We have joked about Barton all season as the system always loves him but I truly agree here as he is sub $6K on both sites on a small slate loaded with top plays. He is also coming off one of his best games of the season in game one where he made 10 of 18 shots putting up 24-6-5 for 40.5 DK/38.7 FD points. This is still a tough matchup against the Warriors so I am not expecting a similar performance in game two but at these prices, at least in cash games, we don't need that ceiling game anyway. Also Consider: James Harden(PHI) who dropped 50+ fantasy points in game one, has 14+ assists in...

Point Guard / Shooting Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $6700 DK - $6000Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 34.54 DK - 36.09 This is an interesting series in that, like Boston vs. Brooklyn, it feels like we are getting a much better of 1 vs. 8 than one would usually think possible. That’s because the Hawks just seem like a better version of a bottom feeder than we are used to, and that’s correct. They are going to be a tougher out for Miami than they likely envisioned from working their asses off to get into the one seed. But with this comes the prospect of a lot of minutes from the Heat starters and that should mean a ton of production from Lowry. Over the last nine games of the season, Lowry averaged 18 points, six rebounds, and three rebounds per game, though was able to dial up the dimes later in the season when the Heat got healthier. He’s coming too cheap on both sites and is likely to play a ton of minutes in a close game. Jrue Holiday FD - $7800 DK - $7900Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 42.84 DK - 43.33 Look, I get that the Bucks are full strength in this which cuts into the fantasy production for all of their big three. But they also get the best matchup against the Bulls which should lead to two of them, at the least, paying value on this slate. Holiday has shown a balanced line throughout the course of the season with 18 points, seven assists, and almost five rebounds per game. One would think, in a close game that we are looking a high-30s in terms of minutes and that should be more than enough to hit value at these prices. Again, I think stacking Bucks is mostly the play here meaning we are going to need a couple of them at least on this slate. Alex Caruso FD - $4200 DK - $4200Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 26.82 DK - 25.84 I get that it’s weird to play a guy in cash games who ran 22 minutes per game over the last couple...
