Milwaukee Bucks (-5.5) vs. Miami Heat

Game Total: 224.5

 

The Heat have been off for one week after sweeping the Pacers in the first round. The Bucks won their fourth straight against the Magic after dropping Game 1 to wrap up their series Sunday. The Heat won the season series by taking two of three.

Heat Players to Target

Goran Dragic, PG – Dragic was inserted into the starting lineup for the Pacers series and he delivered. The price hasn't increased too much. He played at least 32 minutes in each game, including 34 minutes in three. He scored at least 20 points in each game and averaged four three-pointers per game. He had at least 35.35 DK points in three of the four games. The Bucks rank first in defensive efficiency, but also play at a fast pace.

Jimmy Butler, SG – Butler was limited in the final game against the Pacers with a shoulder injury, but is good to go and had a week off. He played at least 37 minutes in the other three games. Butler had 48.75, 38.25 and 48.5 DK points in the three full games he played. He can fill up the stat sheet in a variety of ways.

Tyler Herro, SG – Herro played well against the Pacers and played at least 32 minutes in three of the four games. He averaged 12 shots per game and at least 26.25 DK points in each one. Herro had 20 points, five rebounds and four assists against the Bucks in the bubble.

Andre Iguodala, SG – Iguodala is a way to save money on DK at $3,500. He played at least 25 minutes in each of the games against the Pacers and this is the type of series he was acquired for. He had at least 17 DK points in two of the last three games.

Jae Crowder, SF – Crowder played at least 25 minutes in three of the four games against the Pacers. He could play a little more against the Bucks due to his versatility. He had at least 22.25 DK points in three of the four games and hit 27 DK points twice.

Bam Adebayo, PF – Power forward is extremely thin on FD. Adebayo is price $2,400 higher than the next player. He had three double-doubles in four games against the Pacers and had at least 39.7 FD points in three games. Even if he's not shooting well, he gets rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.

Bucks Players to Target

George Hill, PG – Eric Bledsoe is questionable with a strained hamstring. If Bledsoe is out, Hill could be in the starting lineup. Hill played 23 minutes in the last two games and had 24 and 17.5 DK points.

Khris Middleton, SG – Middleton struggled in the first three games against the Magic, but had 21 points and 10 rebounds in each of the final two games. He had at least 33.5 FD points in the final three games of the series. He shot 7-for-15 from three-point range in the last two games.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF – At least Giannis is PF on DK, which really helps at a weak position. Giannis had a double-double in each game against the Magic. He had at least 57.25 DK points in each game.

Brook Lopez, C – Lopez has been averaging more than a fantasy point per minute on DK in the bubble. He played at least 30 minutes in four of the five games against the Magic. He had at least 24.25 DK points in four games.

 

Houston Rockets (-5.5) at Oklahoma City Thunder

Game Total: 226.5

The Rockets took the first two games of the series before the Thunder won two straight, including one in overtime. The Rockets won easily in Game 5. Russell Westbrook returned from injury, but only played 24 minutes. The Thunder only scored 80 points and shot 31.5 percent from the field, including 15.2 percent from three-point range (7-for-46).

Rockets Players to Target

Russell Westbrook, PG – Westbrook only played 24 minutes in his return from the quad injury. The Rockets won easily, so he didn't need to be pushed. He had seven points, seven assists and six rebounds and shot 3-for-13 from the field. He could be low-owned because of that performance.

James Harden, SG – Harden is always in play because the floor is high and the ceiling is massive. Westbrook will take away some usage and Luguentz Dort has defended Harden well in the series. He has limited Harden to 32.5 percent shooting. Harden had 43.9 FD points in 28 minutes in the last game and at least 51.7 FD points in the other four.

Eric Gordon, SF – Even with Russell Westbrook back in Game 5, Gordon still took 17 shots from the field in 32 minutes and had a 24.3 percent usage rate. He has at least 28.6 FD points in each of the five games. It's unlikely he shoots 24 and 20 times like he did in Games 2 and 3, but he should be in the 15-18 range.

Jeff Green, PF – Green has a key contributor in this series. He has played at least 31 minutes in each of the five games and taken at least 11 shots from the field in every game. Green has at least 20.4 FD points in four of the five games. He is averaging 3.2 three-pointers per game in the series.

Robert Covington, PF – Covington got off to a slow start in the series. He has been better in the last two games with 26.7 and 42.9 FD points. He has been consistent most of the season.

Thunder Players to Target

Chris Paul, PG – Paul only played 29 minutes in the last game since it was a blowout. In an elimination game, he should play close to 40 minutes. He has at least 42.7 FD points in three of the five games. He is averaging 1.15 FD points per minute in the bubble.

Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, SG – Gilgeous-Alexander will play big minutes and be heavily involved. He is averaging 39.8 minutes per game in the playoffs. He only played 34 minutes in the last game due to the blowout. In the two prior games, he played 44 and 48 minutes in an overtime game. He has at least 44 DK points in three of the last four games and took at least 17 shots from the field in each of those games.

Dennis Schroeder, SG – The Thunder will need a big game from Schroeder to stay alive. He has played at least 31 minutes in four of the five games. In the two wins for the Thunder, he had 45.5 and 33.7 FD points and he is a good price on FD at $6,000.

Danilo Gallinari, SF – Gallinari has been terrible the last two games. In the blowout, he played 22 minutes and shot 0-for-5. He played 29 minutes in Game 4 and shot 3-for-10 from the field. The price has dropped to $5,500 on FD.

Steven Adams, C – Adams is tricky since he's producing, but not playing a lot of minutes. He is averaging 11 points and 11.6 rebounds against the undersized Rockets, but the Thunder are getting outscored when Adams is on the floor. He played 25 and 26 minutes the last two games.
