FanDuel DFS Guards
Jamal Murray - PG, vs. POR ($8,500)
Murray produced a double-double in Game 6, finishing with 24 points and 10 boards to go along with five assists and a steal. He has finished with less than 40 fantasy points only once in this series, so the odds are in your favor that he is in store for another solid outing on Sunday evening.
C.J. McCollum - SG, @ DEN ($7,600)
McCollum produced 30 points on 12-24 shooting from the field during the Game 6 win over the Nuggets. While he has had a few duds in this series, notably in Games 1 and 5 where he combined for just 28 points, the ceiling is high enough for you to get a significant return on your investment while having some additional wiggle room to roster an extra stud.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Kawhi Leonard - SF, vs. PHI ($10,400)
Leonard has been red-hot throughout this entire series. In Games 1 through 6, the 27-year-old is averaging 33.7 points and 10.2 boards while shooting 56.8 percent from the field and sporting a plus/minus of +6. He will remain the focal point of the offense for Game 7 and is a must-own with no questions asked.
Zach Collins - PF, @ DEN ($5,300)
Collins, alongside Rodney Hood, has been an integral part to Portland's bench attack over the last few games. He looked impressive in game five, finishing it up with 14 points, three boards, and a block. Not to be outdone, Collins followed that up by scoring 14 points in Game 6 while also adding in five rebounds.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Marc Gasol - C, vs. PHI ($5,400)
While we all wish that we could easily include Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid in our lineup, their hefty price tags provide little flexibility throughout the remainder of the roster. Combine that with Enes Kanter's significant reduction in production over the last three games, and it leaves us with Gasol. While he isn't going to blow anyone away with an excellent fantasy performance, you can at least bank on him to hit his value on Sunday in the series finale.
