FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-May 5
By Jacob Yturri
With the NBA playoffs being in full swing, FanDuel players now compete over two days instead of just one.
Due to the NBA playoffs, FanDuel has structured its competitions in two day swings. FanDulers entering in a game today will be able to assemble a roster from three games worth of players.
The first game being the Miami Heat at the Atlanta Hawks which is taking place tonight. The next two games will occur tomorrow night, and the first will be the Cleveland Cavaliers taking on the Atlanta Hawks. The second game will be the San Antonio Spurs against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The goal of this post is to give you the information that you need in order to create a dominate roster. Each position will receive a total of four picks- two high priced players, and two value players. The players will be ranked by number of stars next to their names. The greater number of stars they have, the more I believe they will have a monster game.
I will award stars based off of different factors such as: past game performance, series performance, whether they are a streaky or consistent player, and other criteria that I deem worthy of analysis. As always, projections are easy to make, but hard to make come true. My predictions are a solid place to start off when building a roster, but are no means the end all be all to winning your tournament.
Also, the number of stars a player receives will be listed by his name, and should be used for reference. Additionally, stars next to a player’s name does not represent value. The stars are simply a way to quickly see how I view a player. A player with more stars than another is more likely to continue a hot streak, or have a breakout game.
Without further ado, let’s get started!
