NBA DFS picks September 4: Can the Rockets hang with the Lakers?

We have another two game NBA DFS slate from the bubble today. Game 1 of the West semis between the Rockets and Lakers is on here along with Game 3 of the Milwaukee-Miami series. We kind of know what to expect from that, but what about Lakers-Rockets? Before we get into that, let’s check injuries.

Out: Chris Silva (pelvis)

Questionable: Andre Iguodala (ankle), Kelly Olynyk (knee)

LeBron and The Brow have been questionable since stepping into the bubble. They’re playing. It’s just a formality by now. Neither are in danger of missing this game. That’s the whole reason they agreed to this thing in the first place. They want to put a ring on it. Want more proof of that? Rondo is expected to make his bubble debut tonight.

Iggy and Oly weren’t playing a whole lot anyway, but it could affect Miami’s depth, which has been a huge advantage in this series. If one or both sit it could open up a little more value. We have to keep an eye on that for value picks.

I had way to much exposure to lineup killer Serge Ibaka last night to make any money at all. The Raptors got the win, but the frontcourt was awful with the exception of Marc Gasol from a NBA DFS standpoint. I didn’t have nearly enough Lowry.
