Welcome back to the Fantasy Alarm NBA DFS Value Vault! We have another four-game playoff slate for Sunday and what better way to continue the Memorial Day Weekend! Nothing better than playoff basketball! We have to find some value for today and I think I have located some good ones.
DRAFTKINGS
1.) Dennis Schroder PG (LAL) $5,900
Schroder has played really well over the last two games for the Lakers and has been quite a bit more aggressive in going to the basket. He has put up 32.8 and 34.8 DraftKings fantasy points while seeing at least 33 or 34 minutes in all three games of this series so far. He is also being aggressive on the defensive end as he has recorded a total of five steals as to boot in those three games! With Chris Paul hampering injury, this opens up quite a bit more for Schroder to be aggressive and it is paying off.
2.) Tim Hardaway Jr. SG/SF (DAL) $5,500
THJ is just a ticking time-bomb that could explode on any day, as we saw in game two where THJ blasted this Clippers team for 40.8 DraftKings fantasy points on 28 actual, a rebound, five assists, and a steal across 38 minutes of action. THJ has played 32, 38, and 40 minutes in the three game so far, and as long as he is playing 35+ minutes he has tremendous value at this price.
3.) Maxi Kleber PF/C (DAL) $4,100
Another Maverick’s value here in Kleber, who is probable to play today and could go over-looked with a q-tag. Kleber has seen 36, 34, and 35 minutes so far in the three games against the Clippers for the series and he has notched out 23.8, 23.5, and 20.3 DraftKings fantasy points as a result. He is a moderate source of points, boards, and assists, and does throw in the occasional block or steal. He makes his money from the three-point line mainly, and that Is good for his value on DraftKings as well.
FANDUEL
1.) Marcus Smart SG (BOS) $6,400
Not overly in love with Smart’s price here today but it is up there for a reason after his back-to-back 36.6 and 34.6 FanDuel performances over the last two games of this series. Smart has shot the ball extremely well scoring 19 and 23 actual in those two, while corralling at least three boards, dishing six dimes in both, and accruing three total steals. This should be another good game and Smart should see another heavy minute’s load.
2.) Tristan Thompson C (BOS) $5,900
Some things never die – like any Center against Brooklyn. Thompson has recorded back-to-back double-doubles over his last two games while seeing 24, 24, and 30 minutes against the Nets in the series. He has also grabbed double-digit rebounds in all three, while blocking two shots and accruing two steals. He has 27, 29.2, and 34.1 FanDuel fantasy points in those three games which presents us with a nice floor that keeps gradually moving up, with his minutes on the floor.
3.) De’Andre Hunter SF (ATL) $4,600
Hunter played 35 big minutes last time out and that’s very encouraging for a DFS player getting at guy at sub $4K price tag here in Hunter. He only managed 22 FanDuel fantasy points, but that was his second 22+ outing in as many games. He has scored at least 11+ acutal, grabbed 5+ boards, dished two dimes and added a block in 31 and 35 minutes of action in those two games as well. As long as he is seeing 30+ minutes, there is nice value here for Hunter.
