Be sure to have the two-time NBA MVP well represented on your rosters. Luka Doncic is the only player who has a median fantasy projection within 15 points of Antetokounmpo. Giannis Antetokounmpo has recorded at least 40 real points in three of the last four games while producing 59 or more fantasy points in all four tilts. Milwaukee and Boston are squaring off for the seventh time in the second round after the Bucks closed out Brooklyn in four during the opening series. The first game of Sunday’s slate seems to be the tightest contest. Giannis Antetokounmpo: Milwaukee Bucks at Boston CelticsĪwesemo’s Preliminary Point Projections: Yahoo and FanDuel: 63.86 | DraftKings: 66.34Īwesemo’s Preliminary Rostered Projections: Yahoo 40.4% | FanDuel 53.9% | DraftKings 36.0%ĭFS Salary: Yahoo $58 | FanDuel $12,000 | DraftKings $12,000 In this win-or-go-home matchup today, he should be on the court for at least 40 minutes.
In two of the last three games, Smart has tallied 35 or more fantasy points, and in the “worst” he still had 27, which makes him the best point-per-dollar option on Yahoo today. More Picks: PG Jordan Poole (Warriors), SG Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves), SF Bojan Bogdanovic (Jazz), PF Jaren Jackson Jr.It seems that Marcus Smart has recovered from his various dings and ailments while also embracing his role as the prime facilitator of the Boston offense, along with being his usual tenacious self on defense. If Denver wants any chance of getting back in the series, they are going to need everything Jokic has to offer. It sounds crazy to say, but with 25.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and five assists per game to begin the postseason, Jokic has been underwhelming. Warriors (Cash & GPP). And here is where we spend all that money we saved at other positions. We have become accustomed to much more than that from Green, and we even got it in his previous game, so I wouldn’t stray just yet. I’m not sure the forward makes four three-pointers again tonight, but the workload will be there once again.ĭraymond Green, PF, Warriors Nuggets (Cash & GPP). Green’s game is generally perfectly suited to the postseason, but that wasn’t necessarily the case on Monday when he scored just six points along with six assists and three rebounds. He scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds in 37 minutes of action of Monday. Mavericks (Cash & GPP). The shortened rotation for Utah works to O’Neale’s advantage. Bane has proven to be a very capable scorer, and while we aren’t really getting a bargain or a great deal of upside, he is a solid option if you need to plug a whole in your lineup. Bullock is the perfect type of player to find a role and success in the postseason.ĭesmond Bane, SG, Grizzlies Timberwolves (Cash). It was another solid game for Bane on Tuesday, as he scored 16 points to go along with four rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes. He has made three three-pointers in each game so far while averaging five rebounds and 2.5 assists. Reggie Bullock, SG, Mavericks Jazz (GPP). Bullock has been playing a ton for Dallas to begin the postseason, and even with the potential return of Luka Doncic (left calf), I think that will continue thanks to his defensive prowess.
As long as he makes a few more shots, we are looking at 5x value once again. Grizzlies (GPP). Beverley’s shot wasn’t falling on Tuesday, but he should play close to 30 minutes once again tonight while chipping in with some rebounds and assists. He made 12-of-17 shots from the field on Monday, which was good for 34 points. Although, if Curry can keep up the same pace that he had off the bench, then we will really be in good shape. Steph Curry, PG, Warriors at Nuggets (Cash & GPP). It’s unclear when Curry will enter the starting lineup, but after what we saw from him on Monday, he is ready from a performance perspective.
