Favorite Players to Use for NBA DFS Lineups

Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic did everything he could in the last matchup to close out the series, it just was not enough. He played 39 minutes and finished with 43 points 11 rebounds and six assists for 71 fantasy points and carrying your DFS lineups to the cash line. I do not want to be caught off him again tonight like I was on Sunday. He needs to be played tonight in a closeout game at home.

Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics

Tatum has been very solid through first four games of this series scoring over 25 points in each game. However, he has not blown up in any game yet only scoring over 30 game points once. Tonight could be the night he explodes in a close-out game, and Atlanta is down one of their best defenders in Dejounte Murray. I look for Tatum to exploit that tonight, and have a huge game.

Russell Westbrook, Los Angeles Clippers

With the absence of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard for the last two games Russell Westbrook has really done everything he can to keep them in this series. He has played 40 minutes in both games and scored 30 and 37 points in those games. He really is looking like the Oklahoma City Russell Westbrook with him taking around 25 shots a night. He is also playing harder than everyone else on the court. Westbrook has also put up 54 and 66 fantasy points over the last two and I intend on riding the hot hand. I will be pairing him and Tatum or Jokic.

Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks are going to need a big game from Trae Young tonight if they are going to force a Game 6. The Hawks are down Dejounte Murray due to a suspension he is serving after his antics in the last game. Young has been huge over his past two games scoring 58 and 68 fantasy points. He will have the ball in his hands all night tonight, let's just hope his shot falls tonight.

Derrick White, Boston Celtics

Derrick White is a huge part of this Celtics rotation and we could start seeing him close games for the Celtics down the stretch. He is playing 30 minutes at least a night anyway and will be relied on being Trae Young's primary defender tonight. White has also been producing on the offensive end scoring at least 18 points in three games of this series. The Celtics are also back at TC Garden tonight Where White shot 6-13 from downtown in games one and two.
