The same slate as Tuesday night, with Golden State still entering as double digit favorites, but the Eastern Conference series shifts to Washington, and they now sit as the favorites.  Some changes occured since then, but can see the breakdown and OL’s hree:  http://www.fantasyalarm.com/articles/bscherr/40979/dfs-nba-optimal-lineups-may-2/


Washington @ Boston

This game doesn’t have to go into OT to provide the best fantasy opportunities of the two games.  John Wall continues to be the top priced option on both slates, He’s coming off a 40 point, 13 assist game, and will lead the way if the Wizards are going to make this a series.  Beal’s matchup continues to be tough, and worth a fade.  Morris looked to be healthy last game, but his tendency to get in quick foul trouble gives me a reason to be off him.  A player like Oubre Jr is the cheaper option off Morris.   Will also continue to target Gorat as long as he continues to post double doubles with solid court court. Finally, Porter was not on my radar on Tuesday, but prefer him tonight over Crowder.

Thomas did explode for 53 points last game, but would still rather go with the Wall, and then split exposure to Thomas and Curry. Horford has been contributing everywhere, but not sure if he will do that tonight in a must win for Washington.  Crowder, Bradley, and Smart continue to be solid players to fill out your roster with.  

Top Plays:  John Wall, Isaiah Thomas, Marcin Gortat

Secondary Targets:  Otto Porter, Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley, Bradley Beal, Al Horford, Jae Crowder, Kelly Oubre Jr, Markieff Morris

 

Utah @ Golden State

Utah will be without Hill tonight, which will make it even for tougher for them to hold on for as long as they did in game one.  They are just simply outmatched in my opinion.  Once again I’ll be staying away from Gobert and Hayward, and focusing on Hill’s replacement, Shelvin Mack.  He’s dirt cheap everywhere, and will be just as much used as a block play than anything else.  On the flip side, fading Mack for his backup, Dante Exum, could work huge for you if Mack struggles as a starter. Joe Johnson had a solid game and my favorite value option for the Jazz.  Hood, Favors, and Ingles are lower owned options that are in play on a two game slate.

Will play the blow out again on the Golden State side,  which focusing both on the stars and value options.  Stars, wise, I think Green, Curry, and Durant in that order. Like Beal, I’ll be fading Klay in most lineups. Players like West, Iguodala, and Livingston all played well off the bench, with Clark and McGee falling behind.  That could change tonight to make sure everyone stays ready.

Top Plays:  Draymond Green, Shelvin Mack, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant

Secondary Plays:  David West, Andre Iguodala, Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gobert, Joe Johnson, Rodney Hood, Ian Clark, Dante Exum, Shaun Livingston, Klay Thompson
