Welcome back readers of FantasyCPR, we have a one-game showdown slate on DraftKings tonight. DraftKings is offering a $20 entering paying out $100,000 to first place for this one-game slate between the Toronto Raptors and the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks are favored by 6.5-points and the over-under sits at 216 points.

I would bet the under and take would take Toronto winning Game 2. Let’s dive into the NBA DFS slate.

NBA DFS Captain:

Giannis Antetokounmpo ($17,700) / Kawhi Leonard ($16,800)

The clear best two captain plays on the one-game slate. Preferably I am leaning Kawhi Leonard, strictly due to the fact that the Raptors trail 1-0  and his price tag is down. Kawhi is in a position where his team needs him more desperately compared to Giannis Antetokounmpo. Kawhi has shot at least 20-times in 8 of his last 10-games. I looking to capitalize on his playoff usage rate.

Marc Gasol ($8,700) 

If I am going cheap, last game it was all about Brook Lopez, who’s price tag jumped up $2,400. Now, my head turns to Gasol as my cheap option. Gasol shot a brutal 2-11, don’t expect him to shoot that poorly again and despite the poor shooting, he still managed to produce 33 DraftKings points. Gasol is the cheapest play I would roll out at the captain position tonight.

Filling out the rest of the NBA DFS lineup:

Brook Lopez, ($6,600) 

Think a lot of people will go back here, I love Lopez but I am going to limit my exposure today. Lopez’s production took away shots from other Bucks shooters; such as Nikola Mirotic who is a great tourney option at just ($4,800). Got to have Brook if you’re making multiple lineups, probably a lock in single lineup builds. However, I do not expect anywhere near another 50- DraftKings points outing.

George Hill, ($3,400) 

Hill shot the ball extremely poorly, missed all 6 shots that he attempted in Game 1. However, still managed to produce 17 DraftKings points in 27 minutes of action. The minutes are absolutely not going away, and I can nearly guarantee that he is going to make a basket tonight.

Ersan Ilyasova, ($2,400) 

Ilyasova is the cheapest guy I would be able to roll out, Ilyasova is a spark guy off the bench, he doesn’t need many minutes to be able to produce a decent fantasy output. His 13.25 DraftKings points is his worst outing of the postseason, so I am expecting a better output tonight. I will have some of him tonight, although he will not be making my single lineup builds.
