Unfortunately, the Clippers and Warriors are dealing with some serious injuries, but we can't let that take away from the outstanding play of some of the younger guys, such as Mason Plumlee. He has been unbelievable since Game One, and he'll look to keep that hot streak going tonight.

DraftKings DFS Guards

Shaun Livingston (vs HOU, $4,700)

Stephen Curry has been ruled out for the majority of the playoffs, which means Livingston is going to step into big minutes. He has played extremely well when given the minutes for most of the season, and that likely won’t change. He gets a great matchup against the Rockets, and as we have seen in the playoffs, this game is going to be extremely fast paced. Livingston is one of the best plays on the board tonight.

Austin Rivers (vs POR, $3,300)

As everyone knows, Chris Paul will miss the remainder of the postseason. That opens up minutes for Austin Rivers, who has actually played well when given big minutes for the Clippers. This game should be fairly fast paced, as the entire series has been, and Rivers will likely be relied on to bring a big of offense to the team, especially if Blake Griffin is also ruled out. Rivers can be used in all leagues.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Draymond Green (vs HOU, $9,700)

Green will likely be handling the ball more for the Warriors, as his usage rate always skyrockets when Curry is out. He is the true definition of a “do it all” player, as he can contribute in each of the five categories at an elite level. He gets a great matchup against the Rockets, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Green triple doubles tonight. With the amount of value at guard, I’ll be using Green is the majority of my teams.

Al-Farouq Aminu (at LAC, $5,600)

It’s impossible to trust Aminu, but he is coming off a tremendous game the other night. He became only the third player in the playoffs (Russell Westbrook, Paul Millsap) to score 30 points with 10 rebounds in a single game. He’s playing power forward for the Blazers, which gives him a few extra opportunities for rebounds, and Aminu is an elite GPP play on the small slate.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Mason Plumlee (at LAC, $6,200)

In case you haven’t been watching the playoffs, Mason Plumlee has been on fire for the Blazers. He’s coming off a double double, in which he only scored two points. That’s right. He double doubled with rebounds and assists! The Blazers offense is running more through Plumlee than it ever has, and he has displayed elite passing for a big man. I expect that to continue tonight, and he may be a sneaky option for a triple double.
