Point Guard:
Star – Kyle Lowry, $8,400: With Lowry being priced almost a full $1,000 dollars less then Stephen Curry, Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook he clearly makes the better dollar for dollar stud play at point guard. He flirted with a triple double game one with 22 points, seven rebounds and eight assists. Expect him to come out firing after the Raptors lost game one.
Scrub – Greivis Vasquez, $4,700: Value is not easy to come by during the NBA playoffs, so good thing Vasquez is still cheap. Game one he scored a whopping 33.8 fantasy points and although that total may be a bit less game two the 29 minutes he played game one shows he will be given plenty of opportunity to succeed.
Shooting Guard:
Star – Jimmy Butler $6,200: Butler’s insane minute totals continued as he logged 44 minutes a game one loss to the Wizards. Fellow shooting guard Klay Thompson of the Warriors carries a bit more upside then Butler for tournaments, but Butler’s multi stat category contributions make him the safer play in 50/50’s and H2H’s.
Scrub - Tony Allen, $3,700: Allen is one of the premier defenders in the NBA which is going to keep his minutes total quite high in an attempt to slow down the Thunder. He is only a few bucks over minimum price providing some fantastic salary cap relief tonight as the Grizzlies look to get even.
Small Forward:
Star – Paul George, $8,700: The only Pacer that seemed to alive on the basketball court in the Pacers ugly game one loss to the Hawks was Paul George. His 41 minutes on the floor was good for 53.5 fantasy points scored and you can expect him to play with a chip on his shoulder during game two.
Scrub - Paul Pierce, $5,400: Due to Pierce’s minutes restrictions and rest during the regular season his price still remains quite deflated for his potential during the playoffs on a consistent near 30 minutes a game. Take advantage while you still can.
Power Forward:
Star – Zach Randolph, $7,600: Randolph came out of game one with a nice 21 point and eleven rebound double double. The $7,600 price tag is a steal of a deal, it is not going to remain there for much longer.
Scrub - Taj Gibson, $5,500: It is irrelevant that Gibson does not start for the Bulls as he is going to see around 30 minutes a game. With that much playing time he will continue to provide some nice mid range value for your daily fantasy basketball lineups.
Center:
Star – DeAndre Jordan, $7,500: During game one Jordan logged a ridiculous 45 minutes. Although that total will decline slightly it is good to see Clippers coach Doc Rivers giving his talented big man plenty of run on the hardwood. With the Warriors being without Andrew Bogut the matchup is amazing and Jordan should have even more success then game one during game two, especially after the Clippers got embarrassed at home game one.
Scrub – Pero Antic $4,200: The Pacers look to be crumbling causing some serious confidence issues for Roy Hibbert, which is making the matchup for Antic quite a bit easier. Finding a way to pay for Jordan is the better way to go, but if you must have the salary cap relief at center Antic is going to play around 30 minutes a game.
Good luck tonight. Be sure to follow both @eDraftSports and me @Cui2iousGeoi2ge
