Set your Draftkings Fantasy basketball position here: NBA $ 400K shootaround [$100K to 1st]

SF/PF, Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics against New York Knicks, 9,000 US dollars

After Tatum dominated the second round of the first round of the first round against magic with a bone blue in his wrist in the next three games and scored 55.75, 67 and 64.5 FPTs in this order. Tatum will now compete in the second round and has not played since last Tuesday. In addition, the superstar's content has dropped by 500 US dollars since its last start, and his price tag of 9,000 US dollars for Monday is the cheapest thing he was on Draftkings this season.

Tatum is not only in an incredible form in game 1 and rests well, but his résumé against the Knicks this season is outstanding. Tatum achieved an average of 57.6 FPTS per game in four matchups with the Divisions rival, and he did not achieve less than 53 fts in any of these tendencies. Tatum leads the Celtics with a usage rate of 31.5%, an aid process of 26.6% and 1.4 FPTS per minute this season. It is a must at only $ 9,000.

C, Kristaps Porzingis, Boston Celtics against New York Knicks, $ 6,300

Porzingis fought against the magic in the first round and only achieved 25.9 FPTS per game, but this was the result of Orlando, which was a brutal matchup for the center. This season, the Magic gives second place in the defensive rating and give up the second -nourished points in color. Porzingis is in the second round in the second round against his former team in the Knicks, with New York occupying 11th place in the defensive rating and the ninth points allowed in color. Porzingis stood twice with the Knicks in the regular season and scored 35.25 and 50.5 FPTs in these two matchups.

The big man generates 1.24 FPTS per minute with a usage rate of 25.7% this season. Just like Tatum, Porzingis' $ 6,300 content for game 1 is a low season. The veteran should effortlessly exceed the fifties and is an excellent goal for all formats.

PG/SG, Alex Caruso, Oklahoma City Thunder against Denver Nuggets, 4,000 US dollars

The thunder last summer exchanged against Caruso in the hope that the veteran delivered a huge spark for the Come Playoffs team, and the guard did just that in Oklahoma City's first round over the grizzlies. After a quiet game 1, which was mainly a product of the Thunder who won this competition with a whopping 51 points, Caruso delivered 32, 31.5 and 23.75 FPTS in the last three games. During this three-game route, the security guard registered 23.6 minutes per game and recorded at least three defensive statistics in each competition.

As you can see, Caruso is an elite defender, and it is a perfect place for the veteran to thrive on this side of the ball. This season, Denver allows the most blocks per game and the fiftheste steals per game. In addition, the nuggets show the 21st place in the defensive evaluation. Caruso has 30 FPTs on his head in this great matchup and is inevitable for this two-game slate with only $ 4,000.
