Warriors-Rockets (Series Tied 3-3)

With only one game on the schedule, your top option is FanDuel’s Single Game Boost. In single game leagues, you select five players (one from each team). The MVP (scores a 2x multiplier), the Star (scores a 1.5x multiplier), the Pro (scores a 1.2x a multiplier) and two positionless players.

In a one game league, you have to identify players who are going to play. That means any starter is a good bet.

If Chris Paul ($14,000) doesn’t play, James Harden ($16,500) will need another monster game. He showed in Game 6 that he has it in him and it still resulted in him being on the wrong side of a blowout. Harden is a good bet to deliver if Paul doesn’t play and should have a good outing even if Paul can go.

But there might be more value in Steph Curry ($15,000). He’s going to get his points and he contributes in other ways. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant ($15,500) has been limited to just a scorer. Draymond Green ($13,000) should be in for another big night given that he puts up numbers in all categories.

Clint Capela ($12,500) not being a factor in Game 6 without Paul has me worried about his value in Game 7. He’ll be better at home, but his ceiling is pretty limited due to his offensive role. If Paul doesn’t play, he should be more involved in the offense.

Klay Thompson ($11,000) was on fire in Game 6. He’ll always get his shots and is never a bad option, despite how inconsistent he’s been in the series. Eric Gordon’s ($10,000) value really depends on on Paul’s status. He’s been good at home and will see more opportunities as the starter, but also more defensive pressure.

P.J. Tucker ($8,000) has been better than Trevor Ariza ($8,500) all series. But Ariza is more trusted in the offense if Paul doesn’t end up playing. Instead of being equal options with Paul, Ariza finds himself getting more looks without Paul.

Kevon Looney ($7,500) and Andre Iguodala ($7,000) are both game-time decisions. If Iguodala plays, he’s worth adding. Looney will offer some value if he plays and Iguodala doesn’t. If neither can play, Jordan Bell ($6,500) should get minutes.

Gerald Green ($7,000) will always get some shots up, if nothing else.
