NBA DFS picks September 6: Can Giannis stave off elimination?

We have another two game NBA DFS slate from the bubble today. We have the Heat trying to sweep the Bucks out of the bubble in the matinee game and the Rockets trying to go up 2-0 on the LakeShow in the nightcap.

This should be another interesting slate. Let’s check some injuries because I think I want Giannis with his back to the wall. We need some value!

Out: Chris Silva (pelvis)

Questionable: Giannis Antetokounmpo (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.

Facing elimination, I’d have to say Giannis plays too. He wasn’t that good in Game 3 as the ankle was clearly an issue. Hopefully a day off helped him out a little.

If there’s any question about Olynyk, I’d say the Heat keep him out. I’m not saying that they’ll get complacent, but they do have the luxury of waiting until Olynyk is completely healthy before putting him back on the court. I’ll approach this as if Olynyk will be out.

I hit with Raptors last night and whiffed with nearly every Clipper that I used and I had very little Denver. It was another dry NBA night. Let’s hope for better tonight.
