NBA DFS picks September 2: Can the Butler do it again?

NBA DFS guard plays

Westbrook was better in Game 6, but still nowhere near hitting value. If you want a Rockets guard, it should again be James Harden. Russ may dish out some helpers, but Harden will decide whether the Rockets win this series or not.

It was Chris Paul who led the Thunder to force a Game 7. It highlighted how low the floor is for SGA. Paul and Dennis Schroder are safe options. SGA has the slate breaking upside, but if he falls flat, you have no chance.

For the price, Goran Dragic was once again the best guard on the slate. We shouldn’t be surprised. This has been the case for the entire playoffs. I’ll have Dragic in every lineup once again.

Eric Gordon continues to be a solid play and his price dipped a little bit on DraftKings. That makes him a very enticing option over Herro and Duncan Robinson, both of whom disappeared in Game 1. Gordon is going to be a big part of this game. He has good upside and a 5x floor.

Kendrick Nunn saw his first action of the playoffs in Game 1 and was a solid contributor in his 16 minutes. His price is low enough to take a flier on since he looked better than Robinson, but both Herro and Robinson have much more upside unless Nunn starts taking more minutes.

If you are deep diving for value, Wes Matthews is a solid option. He has very little upside, but he’ll play about half the game and is just a hair above minimum price.
