The best high salary and value picks for DraftKings fantasy basketball on Saturday, April 14.
Welcome to the Playoffs, NBA fans. Here’s what’s on tap for Saturday:
*3 p.m. ET: The Spurs take on the Warriors.
*5:30 p.m. ET: The Wizards try to pin another Game One loss on the Raptors
*8 p.m. ET: The Heat try to halt the momentum of the Sixers
*10:30 p.m. ET: The Pelicans battle the Trail Blazers
When it comes to playoff matchups, it’s best to stick with what you know in Game 1. Starters are going to play more minutes than in the regular season and role players can’t be relied on. Typically, role players play better at home, so keep that in mind.
Since there are only a handful of games each day, I’ve mixed up the format a bit. Instead of listing my favorite high salary and high value players, I’m looking at each individual game and giving notes on the majority of players. Players are separated into different categories and ranked by how strongly I feel about them.
Let me know what you think of the new format on Twitter or in the comments section.
