The NBA Playoffs continue with two playoff games over Tuesday and Wednesday. Get your DFS fantasy basketball team in the game with FanSided’s DraftKings daily picks.
There are two games scheduled over the next two days. The Rockets are at the Spurs on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. ET, and the Celtics host the Wizards on Wednesday at the same time. Both series are tied 2-2 and both have been known to have offensive fireworks. However, the Celtics vs Wizards series has had both teams thrive in the two games in Boston, so Game 5 has some promise for big numbers. The Rockets have posted big numbers in their wins, but the Spurs’ defense and pace have dominated in their two victories, so predicting the fantasy outcome is a bit more difficult. There are lots of value plays in these two games, though, which could lead to some nice DFS scores despite the lack of game variety.
My favorite plays of the day can be found on the following slides in FanSided’s DraftKings daily picks. Each day in order to offer a variety of price points at each position, you can find two slides for each position: one for high-salary options and one for high-value options. Each pick is ranked on a scale of 1-5 stars to indicate the confidence in the pick. The final slide of this post has more detail on what each level means, but in short, more stars means more confidence in the selection on a points-per-dollar basis.
Important note: every day the goal of this post is not to give you a copy-and-paste lineup. Instead, each selection is given while highlighting the factors you need to consider when building a customized lineup for yourself. If you want to see an example lineup, you can find it on the final slide of the post, but I suggest you adjust your lineup to fit your personal taste.
To keep up with all of FanSided’s DFS NBA coverage head over to the fantasy basketball hub where each day you can find a post like this tailored for DraftKings as well as one specifically designed for usage on FanDuel. In this post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to DraftKings scoring system and salaries.
