NBA DFS picks September 7: Chase the upside of Kawhi

We have another two game NBA DFS slate from the bubble. Tonight we have Game 5 of the Boston-Toronto series and Game 3 of the Clippers-Nuggets tilt. We learned a lot more about how this is going to go on Saturday. 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: Nikola Jokic (wrist)

It is unclear when Jokic picked up the wrist injury. He was a beast in Game 2, propelling a Denver win. If I had to guess, I would say that Jokic plays. Denver needs him if they have any chance in this series.

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.

Stacking the duo of the Lakers with Rondo last night paid off, but the scores were nuts. 300 was only good for minimum cash!
