NBA DFS picks September 5: Aim high with Kawhi

We have another two game NBA DFS slate from the bubble. Tonight we have Game 4 of the Boston-Toronto series and Game two of the Clippers-Nuggets tilt. We learned a lot more about how this is going to go on Thursday. First we have to check on the injuries again. There aren’t as many to worry about now, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Out: Gordon Hayward (ankle), Will Barton (knee)

Questionable: Tremont Waters (knee)

It’s likely that Barton is done for the year. As for Hayward, it will depend on if Boston advances or not. At any rate, we wont have to worry about them affecting rotations for the next week at the least. By then one or both of these series will be over.

The Derrick jones punt sank a lineup. A pedestrian performance by LeBron didn’t help either. Overall, the three lineups that cashed won me a couple of bucks so I can’t complain. Going heavy and BroLo and A.D. along with solid games from Middleton, Dragic, and Crowder helped the bottom line.
