NBA DFS Playoffs Edition – Sunday, April 21 – Cookin with Curry!

NBA DFS Playoffs Edition – Sunday, April 21

Welcome back readers of FantasyCPR, today we are working on a condensed NBA DFS article for you guys as we have a 1pm Eastern start time. I will be providing my core plays for the four-game slate –  best of luck to you guys tonight!

Team Totals: 

1.) Golden State Warriors – 122 Points

2.) Oklahoma City Thunder – 114.75 Points

3.) Los Angeles Clippers – 113.5 Points

4.) Portland Trail Blazers – 108.75 Points

5.) Toronto Raptors – 106.25 Points

6.) Boston Celtics – 103.25 Points

7.) Orlando Magic – 100.75 Points

8.) Indiana Pacers – 100.75 Points

Core Plays:

Stephen Curry, @ LAC ($8,800) 

It is tough to build around the Warriors because it’s difficult to pinpoint where the offensive production is coming. However, I want to start my teams around Curry today. Without DeMarcus Cousins, Curry is a 1.45 Fantasy Points per minute beast. Curry’s down game last time out will have people off of him, however, Curry wasn’t horrible –  he managed to score 29 fantasy points in 20 minutes of game action. Warriors just simply ran away with the game and didn’t need Curry.

Curry is cheaper than Wesbrook, Lillard, Irving and he is just as good as any of those guys. On DraftKings Curry also is the only one of those guys that has multi-positional eligibility. Lock and load Stephen Curry into your lineup!

Andre Iguodala, @ LAC ($4,600) 

Iguodala’s upside is somewhat capped at this price, but he’s been over 20-plus DraftKings points in back-to-back games and with DeMarcus Cousins now out of the rotation, the Warriors are going to be going to the death lineup more often which will have Iguodala playing over 25 minutes a game. Iguodala is a lock and he also has multi-positional eligibility.

Thaddeus Young, v. BOS ($5,900) 

Young won’t be popular, simply never is. However, every single game of this series he’s been over 5x. Young works hard, he is a guy that is really good at getting steals + blocks and is a near double-double threat every game out. Young is the type of guy that I will always roster in NBA Playoff DFS. Take his 30-plus DraftKings points and move on.

Paul George, v. POR ($8,900) 

I’ve been waiting for the Paul George eruption game and we simply haven’t got it yet. If the Thunder are going tie the series up, it is going to have to be on the back of Paul George. Paul George has played 40-plus minutes in every game of the playoffs so far and it’s been poor shooting that has buried him. In the playoffs, George has shot 22- 60 from the field and 8- 29 from the 3-point line. George is going to have a monster game incoming and I do not want to miss it.

Best of luck to those of you playing tonight, try to take down a tournament!
