Demetri Raftopoulos highlights the top daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for 5/8/16. These are the top value and sleeper plays for your DraftKings NBA DFS lineups.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs are both in favorable positions heading into Sunday. The Cavaliers will look to sweep the Atlanta Hawks, and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Spurs will try and avoid giving a dangerous Thunder team any life.

With only two games on the card, it's wise to spend up, and break the bank on two-three guys, while searching for a ton of other value options to help round out your lineup.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 5/8/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays on DraftKings.

DraftKings DFS Guards

Tony Parker (at OKC, $5,000)

Parker is coming off his best performance of the playoffs so far; 19 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and three from downtown. His 35 minutes were his most since the end of the regular season. Parker will likely see around 30 again as the San Antonio Spurs look to take a commanding 3-1 lead against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It also doesn't look like Patty Mills will vie for too many of Parker's minutes.  Parker is affordable and a solid tournament option.

Russell Westbrook (vs SA, $11,000)

The man on the other side of the court from Tony Parker; Russell Westbrook. While Parker will do all he can to help the Spurs go up 3-1 in the series, Westbrook will likely go all out to avoid that, and even up the best of seven. Westbrook has been beastin' it of late, flirting with a triple-double in his last two, and three of four. Westbrook was one rebound and two assists shy in his last contest, complimenting his 31 points. He is expensive but worth breaking the bank on, especially when only two games are being played. Use Westbrook in all formats.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

LeBron James (at ATL, $11,100)

Alongside Westbrook, LeBron James is the top Daily Fantasy option on Sunday. He is also very expensive, but rightfully so. The King is continuing his playoff dominance, following up a 2015 postseason where he was simply a man on a mission. He's on that same path this year, also flirting with triple-doubles almost every game. LeBron has scored 20 or more in every playoff game this season and will look to close out Cleveland's second straight series in just four games. With Atlanta's best chance to gain any momentum in the series slipping through their fingers in game three, look for LeBron to finish the Hawks off in dominant fashion.

Channing Frye (at ATL, $2,700)

Frye is an extremely affordable option at power forward who exceeded well past projection in his last game. In his most minutes since game one of the first round versus the Detroit Pistons, Frye dropped 27 points and grabbed seven rebounds in 28 minutes. It was his second straight game scoring in double-digits, while he went an impressive 7-9 from behind the arc in game three.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Al Horford (vs CLE, $7,200)

Horford is also coming off an impressive performance, scoring 24 points in 31 minutes. The Hawks will rely heavily on their center for points and rebounds if they want to stay alive against the Cavaliers. Horford is the top center on Sunday and is worth spending up for. It's wiser to spend down at other positions as the rest of the options at center are not as safe.
