Daily Fantasy Week 28: It ain’t over!
The first round of the NBA playoffs are living up to the hype. Some series are taking unexpected turns, while some have concluded already.
Match 1: The Portland Trailblazers vs the San Antonio Spurs (April 29, Wednesday)
(San Antonio leads the series 3-1)
Wemby is back, and the Spurs have a chance to close out the series back at home. In both games 3 and 4, Portland was up by double digits at one point, only to lose the lead and suffer blowout losses. The Blazers have to work harder to play games consistently until the end.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Victor Wembanyama
Vice Captain: Deni Avdija
Key picks: De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Scoot Henderson, Devin Vassell, Dylan Harper
Match 2: The Orlando Magic vs the Detroit Pistons (April 30, Thursday)
(Orlando leads the series 3-1)
Unexpectedly, the Orlando Magic is u 3-1. Elimination is staring at the East’s number one seed, and it seems that they cannot find answers to how the Magic has been playing them. The stifling defense led to a lot of Detroit turnovers (turnovers). Too much reliance on Cade Cunningham’s one-on-one style scoring has been putting a lot of strain on the offense, in contrast to the Magic’s more balanced attacks. Can the Magic complete the first round upset?
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Paolo Banchero
Vice Captain: Cade Cunningham
Key picks: Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris, Desmond Bane
Match 3: The Houston Rockets vs the Los Angeles Lakers (April 30, Thursday)
(Los Angeles leads the series 3-1)
Kevin Durant is expected to miss another game for the Rockets, which puts a lot of doubt on the Rocket’s chances of overcoming the Lakers. Los Angeles can close out the series in the next game. Whatever the result of this series may be, the Oklahoma City Thunder are already waiting in the next round after sweeping the lowly Phoenix Suns.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: LeBron James
Vice Captain: Alperen Sengun
Key picks: Marcus Smart, Deandre Ayton, Amen Thompson, Tari Eason, Jabari Smith Jr.
Match 4: The Denver Nuggets vs the Minnesota Timberwolves (April 30, Thursday)
(Minnesota leads the series 3-2)
Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo are both out, and the Minnesota Timberwolves are not looking so mighty after all. Jokic had a triple double in the previous game, and the Nuggets have a chance to come back from a 3-1 hole and win (which they have done multiple times in the past). How will the Wolves adjust in the absence of both key players?
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Nikola Jokic
Vice Captain: Rudy Gobert
Key picks: Ayo Dosunmu, Naz Reid, Jaden McDaniels, Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray
