Happy Friday RotoBallers! Welcome to a playoff showdown edition of the Friday night top plays. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with rotations getting shortened and the slate being so small, there probably isn't going to be a ton of leverage to be found, so consider these suggestions GPP viable as well (some exceptions may apply).
This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 6/10/22. Remember to monitor NBA injury news and our awesome new NBA injuries report tool as the slate can completely change before lineups lock.

DraftKings and FanDuel Captains/MVP - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Jayson Tatum - SF/PF, BOS ($16,800 DK, $15,500 FD)
Tatum remains the ultimate double-edged sword in terms of fantasy; extremely high usage with extremely low efficiency. He's scored more fantasy points in each successive Finals game, and with the Celtics at home once again it feels like tonight could be the long-awaited explosion game.
Stephen Curry - PG, GS ($16,500 DK, $16,000 FD)
Some people may be spooked off by Curry's mild foot injury he picked up in Game 3, but I am not some people. Obviously it's not an ideal circumstance, but Curry can still drop 30 points with purely his shooting capabilities. Curry has unequivocally been the Warriors' best player this series and is the series' top fantasy scorer through 3 games.
Others to consider: Jaylen Brown ($14,700 DK, $14,000 FD),

DraftKings and FanDuel Utility Plays - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Marcus Smart -PG, BOS ($7,800 DK, $10,500 FD)
Smart is clearly the Celtics' third option on offense at this point, as shown by him scoring 36+ fantasy points in 2 of 3 Finals games so far. Smart can be prone to clunkers, but hopefully, that's out of his system after his Game 2 performance. If Stephen Curry is hampered in any way, the Warriors' offense could struggle on the perimeter, which is where Smart earned his newly minted DPOY award.
Andrew Wiggins - SF/PF, GS ($7,400 DK, $12,000 FD)
Something I never thought I'd type: Andrew Wiggins has been the absolute model of consistency in these playoffs. In his last 15 games Wiggins has scored under 10 points once but conversely has only scored over 20 points once. Wiggins is thriving in his role, and I favor him over Klay Thompson tonight due to Wiggins's superior ability to create for himself.
Others to consider: Derrick White ($6,000 DK, $9,000 FD)
DraftKings and FanDuel Value Plays - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Grant Williams - SF/PF, BOS ($4,400 DK, $8,000 FD)
Gary Payton II - SG , MIA ($3,000 DK, $7,500 FD)
Punt plays are usually straightforward in a series this late into the season, and tonight is no exception. These two guys are the cheapest players for each respective team that we can expect to contribute (in lieu of a blowout for either side).
