Daily Fantasy Basketball: FanDuel Lineup For May 25-26

FanDuel Lineup For May 25-26
The NBA Playoffs seem to be coming to a close all too soon for those of us who love the game of basketball. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching two of the best in the game right now battling night in and night out in James Harden and Stephen Curry. We will continue to roll both of these guys out there in our daily lineups as long as we can. We have had some injuries so as usual with that I like to gamble on the inexpensive replacement players and allow us some room to maybe use another stud player who we may nt have been able to afford before. With that said let’s jump right into our FanDuel lineup for May 25-26.

For the PG positions as stated before we will roll with Steph Curry and Matthew Dellavedova. Curry is just all-world right now in my humble opinion and doesn’t seem to have the ability to miss. For this writer, I am enjoying watching Curry play almost as much as I enjoyed watching Jordan play way back in the day. He is pretty much a lock for over 40 fantasy points and more likely to give us 50 plus. Dellavedova is subbing in for the injured Kyrie Irving and doing a pretty decent job. As of the posting of this article game three isn’t even over, but I can’t imagine the Cavaliers would rush Irving back even if the Cavs lose game three. I think they would much rather allow him to heal completely and have him available for the Finals or if the Conference Finals were to be on the line.
Over at the SG positions we employ a similar strategy and start James Harden and Kent Bazemore. With Kyle Korver out for the remainder of the playoffs Bazemore should be a lock for 30 minutes or more and with that should come some decent production at a pretty cheap price tag. Harden has been all-world as well with the exception of game three as he only scored 25 fantasy points. I expect him to bounce back in a big way and try to avoid being swept by the Warriors.
For our SF starters we continue to draft a stud and a cheap player with LeBron James and Andre Iguodala. What more can we say about James other than he has been pretty phenomenal. He is trying to prove his critics and haters wrong this year and is showing up with strong stats at every game in the playoffs. Iggy has been rolling the clock back a bit himself with some vintage AI2 kind of dunks and play. He is a nice cheap option for us in this lineup.
Our PF starters should both be good to line us up with over 25 fantasy points a piece. We are rolling with Tristan Thompson and Josh Smith. Smith has played pretty well the past three games logging over 25 fantasy points in two of the three with a dud in between. Thompson is producing at a solid clip and could very easily give us a 30 plus point fantasy night.

At the C spot we roll out with the big man Andrew Bogut. Bogut is playing great basketball even logging nearly 30 fantasy points in game three with only 20 minutes of court time. I am pretty happy with this lineup as we stand a sad chance of this being the last FanDuel lineup of the NBA season if both the Warriors and the Cavs manage to sweep their series. As always we here at Fantasy CPR thank you for stopping by and wish you FanDuelers the best of luck.
