Get into playoff mode and rout your DraftKings daily fantasy basketball competition on April 15, 2018 with these high salary and value players
It’s day two of the NBA Playoffs. Here’s what’s on tap for Sunday:
*1 p.m. ET: The Bucks meet the banged up Celtics
*3:30 p.m. ET: The Pacers try to stop LeBron and the Cavaliers
*6:30 p.m. ET: The Jazz battle the Thunder
*9 p.m. ET: The Timberwolves look to slowdown the Rockets
When it comes to playoff matchups, it’s best to stick with what you know in Game One. 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.
