FanDuel Lineups For May 1-2

It is becoming a very exciting time for the actual NBA Playoffs. However, for us Fanduelers the single game nights are playing havoc on our ability to play the game we enjoy. For the next two days there is only one playoff game scheduled and as the first round teams are being eliminated that means there will be less and less games to choose from which is something I realize yo already know. It was always sad to see the regular NBA season come to an end for me as a fantasy NBA player, but now with the excitement of FanDuel and DraftKings and other daily sites we get to enjoy the fantasy game a little bit longer.

I have dug deep and am hoping to hit it big with these two guys at PG for us: Jeff Teague and Tony Parker. The spurs will be looking to Parker to come through as he has only right at 30 minutes a night. my hopes is that with the playoffs on the line in a game seven do or die scenario that Parker will see a full slate of 36 minutes or more. Teague is a GTD, but as long as he plays I am banking on him to roll in around 40 fantasy points as he has the past couple of games.

At the SG position I am rolling out with Joe Johnson and the sharpshooting Kyle Korver. Johnson has been solid for the Nets and should continue to plug right along. Korver has also been a cog for the Hawks and is putting out about 30 points per game. If this duo plays to their potential we should have at a minimum of 60 fantasy points for the SG spots.

Kawhi Leonard had a bit off an off-game on the 30th with only 19 fantasy points, but he should bounce back nicely with the series on the line. What we really need from him here is what the Spurs will need as well and that is for his offensive game to match his defensive game and ratchet us up to around 40 fantasy points. I am suspecting that Leonard is our pivotal player here as our lineup will likely live and die with him. At the other SF we will go with DeMarre Carroll who has been nothing short of spectacular for the Hawks during the playoffs. He has rolled off two near 40 points fantasy games in a row and should be good for another tonight.

    • Our PF starters will be Tim Duncan and Thaddeus Young. Duncan needs no explanation as a starter and will be relied upon heavily as will the Spurs other guys we started. Young has been a bit streaky so far in the playoffs, but he fits the bill nicely here and is due for a big game.

    At C we start one of my favorite big men Al Horford. Horford is coming off of a 50 point gem and is playing the lights out right now. I believe he is good for another. As always thanks for stopping by and good luck to you all FanDuelers!
