Only a two game slate tonight, but that didn't stop the sites from holding 500K gpp's. Below is a breakdown and a look at some lineup combo's for tonight's gpp's. Good luck!
Toronto @ Cleveland
This game features a Raptors team that is 1-11 all time in game 1’s facing a Cleveland team that is 15-1 at home in Eastern conference playoff games since 2015. LeBron lead the Cavs sweep of the Pacers in the first round by becoming the first player to average at least 30 points, nine boards, nine assists, three steals, and two blocks for a playoff series. He averaged a little over 27 points, 9.5 assists, and 8 boards in three regular season games vs Toronto. His all-star teammates fared well too, with Love averaging a little over 21 and 12, and Irving with over 21 points, 5.5 assists, and 4 boards. Role players like Smith, Korver, and Frye are the cheaper Cavs to take an extended look at, with Thompson being a safe bet for his typical 20 something fantasy points.
DeMar DeRozan averaged 23.5 points in the first round, but that included an 8 point outing. He averaged 29.7 points in three games vs the Cavs, and showing the ability to contribute boards and assists when needed lately. Lowry hasn’t shown me anything so far in the playoffs that earns him the fifth highest price tag on both sites tonight, but on a two game slate, there aren’t many other ways to go tonight. Look for Tucker and Carroll to possibly play an extended role if needed on the court for their defense.
Top Plays: LeBron James, Kevin Love, DeMar DeRozan, Kyrie Irving
Secondary Plays: Kyle Lowry, Tristan Thompson, Serge Ibaka, P.J. Tucker, Kyle Korver, Norman Powell.
Houston @ San Antonio
Three out of the four games these two played in the regular season were decided by just two points, compared the the Cavs winning by an average of 15.5 points vs the Raptors in last year’s playoff matchup. It should be interesting to see the pace of this game as Vegas has set the total at 213 points, five higher than the other game. Leonard led the Spurs through the first round by averaging 31 points, and averaged 28.5 actual and 45.5 DK points in four games vs the Rockets during the regular season. Outside of Leonard, the other Spurs to consider are Aldridge, Lee, Gasol, and Green. Parker had a great last couple of games vs Memphis, but Beverley will cause him more trouble. Really like the discount with Lee over Aldridge tonight.
The Rockets of course are led by Harden, and is coming off a series where he went to the line 73 times. He went to the line 36 times in their four regular season games, averaging a board shy of a triple double at 29.8 points, 11.8 assists, and 9 boards. Beverley, Gordon, Ariza, and Capela all averaged DK points in the 20’s vs the Spurs, while Anderson and Lou also are capable of big games.
Top Targets: Kawhi Leonard, James Harden
Secondary Targets: LaMarcus Aldridge, Patrick Beverley, Eric Gordon, David Lee, Danny Green, Pau Gasol, Trevor Ariza
