DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup-May 21 & 22
High Value PF
Serge Ibaka-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,600): Ibaka still played 30 minutes in Game 2 but struggled badly with just three points to go with eight rebounds and three steals on his way to 19.5 fantasy points. He should bounce back, though, as the Thunder return home in Game 3. He had a double-double in Game 1 on his way to 29.75 fantasy points and he should be able to be around 25 fantasy points again in his next contest making him a solid investment at just 5K. ∗∗∗
Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (4,800): Thompson had a strong Game 2 with 12 boards and nine points in his 30 minutes while adding a block as well to get to 26 fantasy points. He has at least 23 fantasy points in three of his last four games and is a solid value play at under 5K at PF.∗∗∗
Patrick Patterson-Toronto Raptors (4,500): Patterson had eight points and four assists to go with a pair of boards in Game 1 producing 16.5 fantasy points in just 28 minutes. He played 29 minutes in Game 2 finishing with six points and 15.75 fantasy points. He’s a solid source of low-level production in his expanded minutes, and he’ll keep getting plenty of run for as long as Jonas Valanciunas is out and the Raptors are scrambling to fill the front court. ∗∗
Channing Frye-Cleveland Cavaliers (3,700): Frye continues to provide a offensive burst off the bench and had ten points and four boards in just 15 minutes in Game 2. He had eight points in his 13 minutes in Game 1 totaling 14.25 fantasy points. He has become an important part of the Cavs second unit in their last five playoff games and can help you at PF despite his very affordable sub-4K salary. ∗∗
