DraftKings DFS Guards

Tony Parker – PG, vs MEM ($4,500)

If you are trying to fit a player like Westbrook into your lineups, you are going to need to find some savings, and Parker is a good place to look. We all know he is getting old, and isn’t the same player he once was, but he has played well in three of his four games this series. Game 3 was a bit weird since the Spurs removed their starters early in the second half. But in the other three games, Parker is averaging almost one fantasy point per minute, and has scored 22 or more points in all three. Strong numbers from the veteran, and he needs to be a solid secondary scorer if the Spurs are going to win Game 5.

Joe Jonhson – SG, @ LAC ($5,500)

Another veteran who doesn’t seem to be slowing down too much. Joe Jesus had a huge Game 4, and is putting together a nice series for himself. He has scored 19 or more points in three of four games this series, and has taken at least 13 shot attempts in all four games. A bit of a surprise performance, since his regular season wasn’t anything to write home about. Should be good for cash games or GPPs.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Kawhi Leonard – SF, vs MEM ($9,600)

I can see why people were making the case for Kawhi to be MVP. Holy hell did he put on a performance in Game 4. Finishing with a total of 71 DraftKings points, he looked basically unstoppable, but the Spurs still came up short. He is averaging well over one fantasy point per minute this series, and has scored 46 points or more in three of four games. It make take some roster magic, but try to fit Kawhi and Westbrook in the same lineup.

Marreese Speights – PF, vs UTA ($4,100)

With Blake Griffin going out for the rest of the post season with an injury, Speights has stepped into the starting role. He isn’t going to explode for 30 real points, but he is going to give you a relatively safe option who is also cheap. If he can get you around 18 DraftKings points, he will be worth it, but the upside really comes from the salary savings.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Steve Adams – C, @ HOU ($4,900)

Adams is coming off of his best game in this first round match up. He finished with 18 PTS, 7 REB, and 3 BLKS for a total of 36 DraftKings points. We know that the Thunder are the Russell Westbrook show, but it’s clear he needs some help on the offensive end to get some wins. Adams has to be more than a big body down low, and continue to contribute offensively. He had a slow start to this season, but he had a productive game, and needs another big one to extend this series.

Also consider: DeAndre Jordan – C, vs UTA ($7,800)
