Point Guard Reggie Jackson FD - $5500 DK - $5200Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 30.8 DK - 32.19 Get ready to see a lot of Clippers on this list for Friday. That’s just the way it is when they lose their best player and everyone else has to pick up the slack in the scoring department and the minutes as well. Jackson was third on the team last game with 15 shots in his 37 minutes. LAC just isn’t a high assist team with the way they run their offense, so you aren’t going to get that out of the PG slot here. But he’s just too cheap for the minutes they need him to play in this game. Jordan Clarkson FD - $5200 DK - $6200Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 31.86 DK - 33.6 Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley are both questionable for this game. There’s a world where neither plays, but even if just one sits then I do think Clarkson is still an option. It’s been a real struggle for Clarkson this series and he’s shooting just 38% from the field through the first five games. The volume is mostly there and he’s getting just about enough minutes off the bench. But the shot just isn’t going down. It’s kept the FanDuel price in check though and I think you can take a stab at him in cash. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $10600 DK - $10100Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 46.66 DK - 48.89 Playoff P definitely stepped up last game with Kawhi Leonard on the shelf and turned in a great game for the Clippers in a somewhat surprising win. George took a team-high 22 shots which wasn’t all that surprising. We all knew he was going to have the highest usage rate on the team when Kawhi was ruled out. He ended up putting in 37 points which started to pay the day. But the 16 rebounds was a surprise and he was able to really turn in a fantastic fantasy performance. George will be the highest-owned player on the slate in this one and it will be correct. Terance Mann FD - $4400 DK -...

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...

Pitchers Early Lucas Giolito FD - P 10000 DK - SP 9900 Opponent - TB (Ryan Yarbrough) Park - CHW FD - 38.24 DK - 20.68 The early slate gives us a choice between two ace pitchers in average-at-best matchups and while the system has Peralta slightly ahead I personally lean Giolito. There have been a few starts that have gotten away from him but he has been consistent lately with a 2.86 ERA/3.55 xFIP while striking out 31% of batters over eight starts since the start of May. While the overall matchups are almost identical, Giolito gets the edge as the Rays strike out 27% of the time overall(2nd most) and 26% vs. right-handed pitching(4th most). Fire up Gioito in all formats. Also Consider: Tyler Mahle(CIN) as a GPP pivot in a plus matchup against the Brewers who have a 83 wRC+ and 26% K rate vs. right-handed pitching Main Gerrit Cole FD - P 11000 DK - SP 10500 Opponent - TOR (Ross Stripling) Park - TOR FD - 46.14 DK - 26.36 The main slate also gives us a big choice to make at the top but I just can't fully trust deGrom will get his max innings after leaving early(80 pitches) in his last start. I also like the fact that Gerrit Cole has dropped below $11K on DraftKings for the first time in close to a month. While the K rate is down some(36.7%) it is still in elite territory and he has been consistent holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in 11 of 13 starts(1 or less in 7 starts) this season. He has also had the Jays number holding them to just three earned runs over two starts with 16 strikeouts. All things considered, he is my top pitcher in cash games and my exposure in GPP will come down to deGrom status throughout the day. Also Consider: Clayton Kershaw(LAD) as a -150 favorite in a low total(7.5) game facing a Phillies team that strikes out 27.6% vs. left-handed pitching Catcher/First Base Early Matt Olson FD - 1B 3700 DK - 1B 5700 Opponent - LAA (Griffin Canning) Park - OAK FD - 11.98 DK - 8.88 The price is pretty much at its peak on DraftKings but first is pretty thin on the early slate and Matt Olson is not only having a breakout season, but he also gets an elite...

Pitchers Yu Darvish FD - P 9000 DK - SP 9400 Opponent - COL (Chi Chi Gonzalez) Park - COL FD - 38.18 DK - 21.54 You know it's a weird night for pitching when our top pitcher gets a huge park downgrade heading into Coors Field. What stands out the most and reason for his lofty PTS/$ projection is the fact he is near season-low pricing on both sites sitting 3rd/4th in pricing on DraftKings and FanDuel. While the K upside has been up and down, Darvish has been consistent holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in 11 of 13 starts this season. If you can get past the ballpark the matchup is a plus one as the Rockies have scored a league-low 91 runs over the last month and have an ugly 67 wRC+ vs. right-handed pitching. Fire up Darvish in all formats. Trevor Rogers FD - P 10000 DK - RP 10000 Opponent - STL (Undecided) Park - STL FD - 34.96 DK - 18.8 The optimizer often pairs two top pitchers on DraftKings and that will most likely be the case tonight with a lack of pitching and Rogers/Darvish combined salary being under $20K. Rogers has also been terrific to start his second season averaging almost six innings per start and has held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in seven straight and 12 of his 13 starts(3 ER in the other). He has not only been consistent but provided but upside as well with a 30% K rate/15% swinging-strike rate and now faces a struggling Cardinals team that has posted a 80 wRC+ and 26% K rate over the last two weeks. I will have exposure in all formats. Also Consider: Casey Mize(DET) as value SP2 option who has posted a 2.45 ERA over his last seven starts Catcher/First Base Daniel Vogelbach FD - 1B 3000 DK - 1B 3800 Opponent - CIN (Luis Castillo) Park - MIL FD - 9.36 DK - 6.92 It another Coors night and I really like the matchup or the Padres which means we are going to need some value if we want to stack them. One team I have turned to quite a bit recently for value has been the Brewers and specifically the top of the lineup. While hitting just .221 on the season, Vogelbach has been consistent in the short term with hits 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...
