Jazz-Rockets (Rockets Lead 3-1)

The Jazz are shorthanded on Tuesday. Royce O’Neale is a guy I didn’t mention in the previous slides, but someone who will get extended playing time due to injuries. I’m not real comfortable with anyone on Utah outside of Mitchell, Crowder, and Gobert. It could get ugly in a hurry for them.

P.J. Tucker has been a solid contributor all series and Trevor Ariza remains an option. But this feels like a monster closeout game from Harden with everyone else falling in line.

Pelicans-Warriors (Warriors Lead 3-1)

I’m pegging Anthony Davis as having a monster game, but Rajon Rondo and Jrue Holiday should be good enough to at least hit value. I’m still hesitant on Nikola Mirotic, even if he’s been solid this series. There’s not much to like on the Pelicans bench.

Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are always options to go off, but I’ve loved Durant all series and he’s performed over value in three of the four games. You can save at PG with Rondo over Curry and get Durant at SF. There’s some good guaranteed value on the Warriors as well.
