FanDuel Lineup For May 21-22

We could not ask for a better or more exciting set of conference finals. It has been a thrill to watch all these great teams go at it each night and rack up the highlight plays. Part of this FanDuel game for these limited amount of players and playoff games are to catch the inexpensive guys while they are getting hot and ride their coattails until they let us down and then hope we get lucky on a different cheap guy we have picked. Our lineup for game one didn’t go over so well as most of our Hawks players were pretty low. Hopefully they will pick it up for game two and be a little better.

For our starting PGs we are going with Stephen Curry and Dennis Schroder. I had a bit of a hard time rolling with Schroder again, but I am trusting him to bounce back as he still saw enough minutes to have a fantasy impact for us and basically just had a terrible shooting night. Curry was worth every penny as usual and gave us over 50 fantasy points and then had his daughter steal the show at the podium after the game.

For our starting SGs we will roll with the beard James Harden and J.R. Smith. Smith caught fire in game one and wound up over 28 points, six rebounds and three assists (as of the publishing of this article). Smith is one that can really throw it down and sometimes when he gets he hot like this he will stay hot. Let’s hope that he stays hot because he comes at a decent price for us for game two. Harden has been every bit what we expect and has dropped over 50 fantasy points in his last two games. We can ride him hopefully into the money.

Our starting SFs find us rolling with Andre Iguodala and Trevor Ariza. Iguodala has been decent and has been scoring around 25 fantasy points over his last few games which makes his highly inexpensive price tag make sense to give him a go. Ariza continue to shoot the three ball well and thus makes him a worthy play and still a decent bargain type of player as well.

Our starting PFs are of the lesser salaried variety, but still decent upside players of Tristan Thompson and Josh Smith. Smith scored over 35 fantasy points in game one and should continue to be a threat for the Rockets. Thompson had a pretty solid game one with a 14 point 10 rebound double-double. Both players come to us at a great price and should help us to get to our goals here.

    • Our starting C is Al Horford. Horford is one of those Hawks who had a decent game one, but that I think should bounce back with a much better effort for game two. Horford is capable of putting up huge numbers and the Hawks will need him to have a big game if they want to win. As always we thank you for stopping by and wish you FanDuelers the best of luck!
