What’s up guys and gals? We have a three-game main slate on our hands for Friday’s DFS slate. Truthfully, most of my value options listed can be used on both platforms. I love using my DraftKings value on FanDuel, I just prefer the pricing of them on DK, that’s why they’re listed in that category.
DraftKings
The 32 minutes we saw Hunter play in Game 2 was the most he’s played since his injury. That’s a good sign. It’s a good sign because that means more minutes to come as there hasn’t been any reports of any type of fatigue or injury stemming from all those minutes. Despite 31 minutes, DK left him at $4K, which is CHEAP. He put up 26 DKP while scoring 18 actual points and grabbing six rebounds. Do I expect him to take 11 FT’s again? No, I don’t, but I also expect a positive regression in the shooting column, considering a 47% shooter shot 3-of-10 from the floor.
I mean, yeah, right? Jackson has been the Clippers point-guard that has seen the most run this postseason, which is what we all expected...RIGHT? Right….not. Either way, he’s been on the floor and has been productive while playing. He was aggressive offensively in Game 2, taking 12 shots, scoring 15 points and putting up 26.25 DKP. At just 3.9K it’s really, really hard not to take a long hard look at Jackson in all formats.
Yeah Kleber is listed as questionable, but he was listed questionable the first two games of the series as well and he played in both. He’s averaged 35 minutes and 23.5 DKP/game this series. He’s only $3.7K and is a cash game staple if in fact he does suit up. The Clippers have been the fourth worst rebounding team in the postseason, so Kleber has a nice opportunity to approach double-digit boards here.
FanDuel
After fouling out in just 25 minutes of action in Game 2, Morris is likely going to come out hungry in Game 3. He hasn’t shot the ball well either, going just 5-of-17 to start the series. With Serge Ibaka listed as questionable, we should see Morris’ minutes back up over 30 if Ibaka can’t suit up. He’s a GPP play because we know the offense starts and ends with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George , but if they get Morris more involved, he could be a deadly third option.
Look, this isn’t a guy that is close to the same as he once was at his peak, but Griffin can still contribute and he’s going to likely take on a bigger role than he has been with Jeff Green now out for a couple of weeks. He only had to play 20 minutes in Game 2 due to a blowout, but if he’s extended another five-to-seven minutes, it wouldn’t surprise me. In those 20 minutes, however, he was aggressive, taking six shots and getting to the foul line four times.
He’s not a very talented offensive player, but Finney-Smith is going to stay on the floor because of his defense. He’s played 36 minutes in each of the first two games and that won’t change unless he’s in foul trouble or gets hurt. He hasn’t exactly flashed a high ceiling, but before Game 2 he had scored 15+ actual points in three straight games, including 18 in Game 1. He’s very cheap on FD and is worth a look at a position that doesn’t have a lot of depth.
