Nuggets vs Thunder NBA DFS Showdown Picks: MVP & Captain 

Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets - $20,700 DK, $25,800 FD

The best player in the world in a Game 7. There's nothing better than that. It's obviously hard to get a LOT of what you want if you use Jokic at captain, but he has the highest ceiling.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder - $18,300 DK, $21,000 FD

To nobody's surprise, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the team with a 31% USG and averages 1.36 FP/min this postseason. Game 7 at home. It's a great spot for SGA to will his team to the Conference Finals.

Chet Holmgren, Oklahoma City Thunder - $13,200 DK, $12,900 FD

It's been an interesting series for Chet Holmgren as he's flashed a 40+ ceiling three times, twice in the 30's, and once in the 20's. Holmgren has a fantastic Game 6 and has been great in the double-double department. This postseason overall, he has a 21% USG and is averaging 1.2 FP/mn, which is second on the team.

 

 

 

UTIL NBA DFS Showdown Plays For Sunday

Jalen Williams, Oklahoma City Thunder - $9,600 DK, $9,400 FD

After a brutal Game 6, Jalen Williams goes back to Oklahoma City for a chance to clinch a spot in the conference finals. The playmaking has been great out of Williams, he just needs to make shots, and he was a 47% shooter during the regular season.

Jamal Murray, Denver Nuggets - $9,000 DK, $9,200 FD

Murray played an amazing Game 6 and has been quite good in most of this series. With Aaron Gordon all but out of Game 7, they're going to need even more from Murray in Game 7. He is seemingly passed the illness he was suffering through in Game 6.

Christian Braun, Denver Nuggets - $7,000 DK, $6,600 FD

Realistically, the Game 6 MVP was Christian Braun for the Denver Nuggets as he was fantastic and he'll be needed even more without Aaron Gordon in Game 7. If you think Denver can win, there's an outside chance at using Braun at captain.
