FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-May 16 & 17
High Salary PF
Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (10,200): Green rolled his ankle at the end of Game 5 on Wednesday against Portland, but he has returned to practice and is almost certain to play in Game 1 against the Thunder. Green had a great matchup and an awesome series against the Blazers with over 59 fantasy points in three of the first four games of the series. He didn’t have quite as much success against OKC in the regular season averaging just 8.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 7.4 assists. While I love Draymond’s energy and his game, I think he’s a little over-priced based on his injury and matchup. ∗∗
Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (7,700): Love is a solid high-mid play in Game 1 as he faces the Raptors for the fourth time this season. In his three regular season games against Toronto, Love averaged 18.3 points, and 10.3 rebounds to go with three assists, a block, and a steal. Love has had a very strong postseason so far with a double-double in all eight of Cleveland’s postseason games and at least 30 fantasy points in each contest. He had over 40 fantasy points in both of the Cavs closeout wins in Atlanta with at least 21 points and 13 boards in each of those two contests. With the Raptors banged up in the front court, Love should be able to put together another nice series in the Conference Finals. ∗∗∗
