Three NBA playoff games over the next two nights give us our rosters for today’s DraftKings daily picks. 

With the NBA playoffs in full swing, DraftKings players will compete over the next two days. The three games from which DraftKings players may assemble a roster are the Miami Heat at the Toronto Raptors, the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Atlanta Hawks, and the San Antonio Spurs at the Oklahoma City Thunder. The goal of this post is to give you the information you need in order to create a dominant 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. The way stars are awarded is based off of prior game and series performance, their matchup, and if I like their hair or not. 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. Additionally, next to each players’ name will be their DraftKings salary. Use this as a quick way to reference the amount of ‘points’ you’d have to pay a player to get him on your roster. Good luck to all the teams playing on Thursday and Friday night. Let’s get started!
