Guard

breed

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder against Denver Nuggets, $ 9,600

With the thunder that wants to avoid a 0-2 deficit in this series compared to the nuggets, Gilgeous-Alexander is inevitable in this content of $ 10,000. The early price of MVP for Draftkings approached $ 12,000 this season. After unveiling Denver in game 1 for 65.5 FPTs, Gilgeous-Alexander achieved at least 58 FPTs in three of his five Matchups with the Nuggets this season.

Denver occupies the 22nd defensive value this season and Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the best fantasy assets in the NBA, whereby the guard collects 1.6 FPTS per minute with a usage rate of 34.5%. The Thunder is an 11-point home favorite for game 2 in Draftkings Sportswace. This season, Gilgeous-Aalexander creates 54.7 FPTS per game.

Other options: Jaylen Brown (7,100 US dollars), Jamal Murray (7,000 US dollars)

Value

Alex Caruso, Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Denver Nuggets, $ 4,300

Caruso is another must from this Thunder Club, which wants to bounce back on Monday after playing game 1. Despite the loss, Caruso was enormous in the start of the series compared to the Nuggets and spent 45.75 FPTs over 26 minutes in front of the bank. The veteran shot 5 out of 9 from beyond the arch and ended with rich seven defense statistics. Caruso has now delivered 33.3 FPTS per game in his last four years and has collected at least three defensive statistics in all of these games.

Caruso's skills at the defensive end gives him a big upward trend compared to his cheap salary and he is the best value for this two-game board.

Other options: Christian Braun (5,500 USD), JRUE Holiday (5,300 USD), Miles McBride (3,100 USD)

Forward

breed

Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics against New York Knicks, 9,200 US dollars

After the loss of game 1 on their home floor, the Celtics in game 2 should be extremely motivated to achieve this series with New York and Tatum another enormous performance. The striker delivers 61.6 FPTS per game in his last four starts and was brilliant against the Knicks this season this season.

Tatum leads the Celtics with a usage rate of 31.5% and 26.7% this season, which leads to 1.4 FPTS per minute for the Duke product. The loss of game 2 is not an option for the defending champion Celtics and Tatum is a castle for at least 50 FPTs in this situation.

Other options: Jalen Williams ($ 7,400)

Value

Aaron Gordon, Denver Nuggets at Oklahoma City Thunder, 5,800 US dollars

Gordon has strengthened his game for the Nuggets with Michael Porter Jr., who dealt with a nagging shoulder injury. Including the three pointer with playful three-time, the striker scored 43.5 FPTS in game 1 on Monday. Gordon collects 35.2 FPTs per game in his last five starts of these playoffs and during this time he collects 39 minutes per game and a rate of use of 18.5%.

The thunder is the best defense in the NBA and you will also concentrate on this series, but apart from a blowout, Gordon should approach 40 minutes and a strong destination with the strong volume. This season Gordon achieves 1.0 FPTS per minute.

Other options: Josh Hart ($ 6,700), Aaron Wiggins (3,200 US dollars)

center

breed

Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets at Oklahoma City Thunder, 11,000 US dollars

While thunder was the best defense in the league this season, they had big problems with the stop -jokic. The three-time MVP dominated Oklahoma City for a huge double double of 83.5 FPTs in game 1 and he has an average of 72.9 FPTS per game against thunder in five matchups this season.

Thanks to a usage rate of 29.4%, an aid process of 40% and a back -up rate of 19.4%, Jokic will achieve a league of 1.83 FPTs per minute this season. The center recorded for 1 43 minutes in game and if the Nuggets game 2 can keep playing competitive again, Jokic will be one of the main reasons why another monster shows.

Other options: Karl-Anthony cities ($ 7,600)

Value

Al Horford, Boston Celtics against New York Knicks, 5,000 US dollars

There are no appealing options in Center and the payment of Jokic is the best route in the position. However, if you are forced to pay, Horford is profitable at this price. The accomplished veteran produces 23 fps per game in this post -season, and Sam Hauser (ankle) is doubtful, and Kristaps Porzingis (probably), who deals with an illness, should lead to a few additional minutes for Horford.

Realistic expectation for the Florida product is over 30 minutes and he should have a strong performance at the Celtics, who also search for this best-of-Seven series. Horford provides 0.8 FPTs per minute this season and he has an average of 25.1 FPTs per game in the last five times when he was active for Boston.

Other options: Chet Holmgren ($ 6,800)
