DraftKings DFS Guards
Patty Mills - PG, vs HOU ($5,300)
With Parker goin out with an injury, Mills is set to see more minutes. A report came out saying that he would be staying with the second unit off the bench and that Murray would be starting for the Spurs. But Mills is the better player with more experience, so he is where you should look. Mills had 27 DraftKings points in his last game, and we should be expecting much of the same in Game 5. Good in all types of contests.
Eric Gordon - SG, @ SA ($4,900)
Even though the Spurs are one of the best defensive teams in the league, this series has been high scoring and Gordon is playing well. He has put up 22 points or more in all three games so far. The upside with him comes from the the three pointers. He has made three, three pointers in two of the three games this series, and getting the extra points on DraftKings is always nice. He isn't too expensive, and will allow you to get some of the big name players in your lineup.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Gordon Hayward - SF, GS ($8,000)
The Jazz are down three to zero in this series, and if they want any chance at keeping their dignity, they need to win this game. They aren't going to comeback and win this series, but they can take away one game. If they want a win, that starts with their star play Hayward. He has to step up and carry this team to a victory. He has scored 40 points or more in the last two games, and the fast paced play of the Warriors should help him put up the points.
Draymond Green - PF, @ UTA ($7,800)
Draymond had his worst game of this playoffs last game....he still had 33 fantasy points. Up until that game, he 42 DraftKings points or more in every single playoff game this year. The man is simply getting it done in all aspects of the game. Filling the stat sheet in almost every category, he has legit triple double potential every night. Also seems his price is a bit too low, and the perfect time to roster him.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Clint Capela - C, @ SA ($5,500)
Who said the Spurs would good at defense? If they are, they certainly aren't showing it this series. Capela has 42 DraftKings points or more in two of the first three games this series, and he has tallied two double doubles. Really like Capela in this spot, he is very under priced, and has shown he has the upside you need to take down a GPP. I consider him an auto lock for this slate.
