Welcome back to the Playoffs edition of the Fantasy Alarm NBA DFS Value Vault!
DRAFTKINGS
Ivica Zubac ($4,100) - Zubac will still start and get his normal 20-22 minutes today, but in the event Harrell is not ready for game one today, he could see a few extra minutes. We have seen Zubac put up really nice number in only 20ish minutes pertaining to fantasy out-put, so this price seems quite a bit on the low side on DK
Alec Burks ($3,900) - There was a reason Burks was held out for most of the 2nd half of the Sixer’s final game of the seeding games, and that’s because he is a big part of this rotation with Simmons out. I fully expect him to see around 24-26 minutes today, and we have seen him ball out since getting extended run with the Simmon’s injury.
Jordan Clarkson ($3,800) - Pretty sure this is a no-brainer with Clarkson today with Conley out of the bubble for the birth of his child. We have seen huge spikes of usage with Clarkson in these instances, and he’s carrying a 27.3% overall usage without Conley on the floor. Easy play today, but will be chalky.
FANDUEL
Joe Ingles ($5,000) - Ingles doesn’t exactly get a huge usage bump, but he does see an average of +1.3% without Conley. Ingles will be one of the main ball-handlers along side Don Mitchell, and he sees quite a spike in assists in doing along without Conley. He is in play on both sites today.
Jerami Grant ($4,800) - Let’s face it, Millsap can’t exactly play 30 minutes a game anymore, and Grant usually gets to play more minutes in the rotation when he is playing well off the bench with Paul starting. Really like the defensive upside that Grant brings to boost his FanDuel value.
Dorian Finney-Smith $(4,100) - A guy rarely talked about, but plays huge mins and typically has a decent floor is DFS for the Mavs. We have seen him play over 30 mins in 5 of his last 6, while also topping 23 fantasy points in that same span. He could be a very low-owned value play today, even against the Clippers.
