Guard

breed

Cade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons against New York Knicks (9,700 US dollars): Cade ended with 45.5 FPTs in game 1 because he shot 38% out of the field and did not increase defensive statistics. Since then he has gone for at least 50 FPTs, fills the status sheet and is correct in game 4 a triple double. He is Alpha and Omega for the pistons and collects a rate of use over 30%. With an elimination game in front of a rough home group, another 50-burger is very likely, with the possibility of more. He has already gone over 60 FPTs twice in this series. The combination of floor/ceiling is the best in the position.

Other options: James Harden ($ 8,700)

Value

Christian Braun, Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Clippers ($ 5,300): My first thought was to go with Thj, who is much cheaper and returned to Detroit, where the shooting ice efficiency was much better. But he is so one-dimensional and if his shot is not falling, there is little hope of fantasy relevance. Braun has only tried two -digit shots in this series, but the appearance he gets is usually high quality, since they often run out and in the transition. It is also a good rebounder and sets up some defensive statistics. Braun has set up at least 20 FPTs with the two recent competitions over 35 FPTs in this series in all up to one game.

Other options: Norman Powell (5,500 USD), Tim Hardaway Jr. ($ 4,400)


Forward

breed

Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers against Denver Nuggets ($ 8,200): Beep. Boop. BOP. The Kawhibot 2025 worked in these playoffs like a well -oiled machine. The joints are well lubricated, while the guidelines work at a high level. The level of use is not high in view of its superstar status, but it is so efficient with its chances that it is not much important. Since the 35.5 FPTS excursion into game 1, Kawhi has set up at least 40 FPTs with two over 55 FPTs in every competition, including games 5, which miss a triple double from a dark rebound.

Other options: Josh Hart (7,000 US dollars), OG Anunoby ($ 6,400)

Value

Aaron Gordon, Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Clippers ($ 5,700): This season was really strange for Gordon. It is a career of 33% from the city center, but drilled 43% in the regular season. He is a career of 69% shooters from the free -wire line, but converted 81% in the regular season. In five games in the playoffs, he shoots 40% of beyond the arch and 85% from the line. Crazy. I think the regression monster is either in Cancun or Gordon. In the five games against the Clippers, Gordon set up at least 23 FPTs with three over 30 FPTs. He will continue to look good to play next to Jokic while doing decent work in the boards. Gordon does not pour many pennies and does not stop defensive statistics, but the points and rebounds have delivered a relatively high floor.

Other options: Tobias Harris (5,800 USD), Aaron Gordon (5,700 USD), Norman Powell (5,500 USD), Christian Braun (5,300 USD), Tim Hardaway Jr. ($ 4,400)


center

breed

Nikola Jokic, Denver nuggets in Los Angeles Clipper ($ 11,600): Jokic “only” lasted 53.5 FPTs in game 5. In view of the price, it was a disappointment. He only shot 4 out of 13 from the field. It happens, but he still made a triple double. Its floor is the ceiling for most, but the combination of floor/ceiling is the best in the game. In the first four games in the series, Jokic set up a total of over 60 FPTs with a high of 82.25 FPTs. He has a ceiling of 100 FPTs and it is a level that nobody else can match the slate. It depends on the roster building, but raw points are important on a two-game slate.

Other options: Karl-Anthony Towns ($ 8,500), Jalen Duren (6,500 USD)

Value

Mitchell Robinson, New York Knicks At Detroit Pistons ($ 3,800): Most of the time it will not be a pleasant experience to stroll the neighborhood of Mr. Robinson. The season will be low, while everything is dependent on blocks and boards. But who doesn't like a good block party? Robinson blocked two shots in two games, but made it available in the other three bagels. Nevertheless, he played 5 minutes in game 5 and scored 13 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks and two steals. The result of the results is wide, but if you want to live dangerously, stroll down a walk down Mr. Robinson's quarter.

Other options: Aaron Gordon ($ 5,700)
