DraftKings DFS Guards
Russell Westbrook – PG, vs HOU ($13,800)
Westbrook only scored 48.75 fantasy points in the first game of this series, but he has since scored 96.5 and 72.75 fantasy points in the next two games. He is averaging 35.7 points, 10.0 rebounds, 9.7 assists, and 2.3 steals per game against the Rockets this season, and Westbrook has triple double potential each night. He has as much upside as anyone on the slate, and he’s an elite option in all leagues.
Dwyane Wade – SG, vs BOS ($6,500)
Wade has seen his minutes increase in the playoffs, as he’s averaging 33 minutes per game against the Celtics. He’s also averaging 31.3 fantasy points per game against them in the playoffs. Wade is playing a big part in the Chicago offense, and he’s a player that can contribute in multiple categories. He’s reasonably priced tonight, and Wade makes a solid option on a slate without many great fantasy options at guard, especially for lower price tags.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
LeBron James – SF, at IND ($11,900)
James has looked unbelievable this postseason, and he’s averaging 32.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 10.7 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 2.7 steals per game in three games against the Pacers. He’s coming off a huge 87.25 fantasy point performance, and James will be looking to complete the sweep today. He’s finally appropriately priced, but he should still be able to exceed value. He’s a great alternative to Westbrook, and James can be used in all leagues.
Andre Roberson – SF, vs HOU ($5,400)
Roberson has come out of nowhere in the playoffs, and he has advanced his game for the Thunder. He’s averaging 14.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.7 blocks, and 2.0 steals per game against the Rockets this postseason. He has scored at least 30 fantasy points in each of those games. He has been a consistent player, and he’s locked into big minutes for the Thunder. He’s a great option in all leagues, as he comes with a fairly low price tag.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Clint Capela – C, at OKC ($5,000)
Capela has enjoyed a great season, and while he hasn’t been playing big minutes, he has consistently been exceeding value. He struggled in his last game, but he was able to score 29.0 and 31.75 fantasy points in the first two games of the series. He’s a double double threat, who comes with good versatility, and he’s entirely too cheap. He should be one of the first salary relief options locked into your lineups today, and he can be used in all leagues.
