We start theĀ triple-header today with a pair of games on ABC starting in South Beach whereĀ the Heat and Hornets face off in Game 7 of their first round series at 1:00 PM ET. Ā Following that game at 3:30, the Warriors host the Blazers as they start their second round series. We wrap up the night and the weekend with the final gameĀ of the first round as the Raptors and Pacers meet in their decisiveĀ Game 7 north of the border in Toronto.
To see who I think should be on your roster from those six teams, check out my DraftKingsĀ daily picks on the following slides. My goal each day is to give you the information you need to build your own lineup that can bring home a win for your team. In order to help you find the position and price-point that you need,Ā youāll find two slides per position in this postāone withĀ high-salary options and one withĀ high-value options. Each slide contains at least two optionsĀ with extras thrown in where possible. Ā I base each pickĀ on the currentĀ form of each player and the positional matchups each player will face in todayāsĀ game.
I rank my picks every dayĀ using stars after each selection to show the strength of the pick. For a full explanation of the rating system, check out the last slide of this post, but in short, more stars means more confidence (on a point-per-dollar basis). Also on the final slide of the post, you can see how Iām putting together the best of my picks into my lineup for todayāsĀ competition. I suggest you build your own customized team with the players you like the most, but youāre welcome to check outĀ my lineups and use them as a place to get started.
