NBA DFS Pick'em: Top Plays & Strategies for Tonight's Slate
The NBA playoffs are heating up, and tonight's two-game slate presents both challenges and opportunities for Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) players. Fewer games mean tighter competition, but also more predictable lineups. This guide provides expert picks and strategies to help you dominate your NBA DFS Pick'em contests.
Core Plays: High-Upside Options
Stephen Curry (GSW): Despite facing triple-teams, Curry delivered a spectacular performance in his last game. While regression might be expected, his matchup against Houston doesn't seem to offer a solution. His high roster percentage is justified, making him a cornerstone for your lineups. (DraftKings: $9,500; FanDuel: $9,000)
Evan Mobley (CLE): Mobley's consistency is enticing. Two straight 30+ fantasy point outings make him a solid anchor. His projected minutes and usage rate suggest another strong performance. (DraftKings: $8,000; FanDuel: $8,000)
Cash Game Targets: Safe & Reliable Picks
Tyler Herro (MIA): Despite Miami's 3-0 deficit, Herro remains a high-usage player. Expect him to receive ample opportunities, particularly if Miami aims for a competitive Game 4. His home-court advantage further enhances his value. (DraftKings: $7,700; FanDuel: $8,200)
Brandin Podziemski (GSW): Podziemski's value hinges on Jimmy Butler's status. If Butler is out, Podziemski's minutes and potential output skyrocket. Even with Butler playing, his upside makes him a GPP consideration. (DraftKings: $5,500; FanDuel: $5,900)
Ty Jerome (CLE): Jerome's recent playoff performances (over 39 fantasy points in two games) make him a strong cash game option. While his price has increased, his consistent output makes him worth considering. (DraftKings: $5,000; FanDuel: $5,300)
GPP Targets: High-Risk, High-Reward Picks
Bam Adebayo (MIA): Adebayo offers leverage against popular picks like Jarrett Allen. Despite potentially lower roster percentages, he possesses the highest scoring potential among centers. (DraftKings: $8,700; FanDuel: $8,300)
Amen Thompson (HOU): Thompson's projected low roster percentage is surprising given his recent minutes and usage rate. Positive regression is likely. (DraftKings: $7,100; FanDuel: $7,600)
Value Plays: Budget-Friendly Options
Quinten Post (GSW): Post's value depends on Butler's status, but even with Butler playing, he could still start and offer solid value at his low price. (DraftKings: $4,000; FanDuel: $4,000)
Fred VanVleet (HOU): While not a pure value play, VanVleet's consistent minutes and shot attempts make him a solid option with upside. (DraftKings: $6,000; FanDuel: $6,200)
Remember to stay updated on late lineup changes and utilize your knowledge of team strategies to refine your picks. Good luck!
