Sean Barnard provides his thoughts and insights into the DFS options for today's NBA playoff games at Draftkings.

The NBA playoffs are continued with two actions in today's Mother's Day Slate. From 3:30 p.m. ET, the Denver Nuggets will align the Oklahoma City Thunder with the NBA master 2023, which has a 2-1 lead. Then at 8:00 p.m. ET, the Cleveland Cavaliers will try to improve their series against the Indiana Pacers after dropping the first two matchups in front of their home. Today's game is played in Indiana, with Cleveland returning to full strength after some remarkable injuries in the previous game.

While the number of games decreases, there is still a lot of action on the table and many different ways to deal with Draftking's Sportsbook and Daily Fantasy Sports. In this article, the top -dfs -value games in front of the playoff matchups are examined.

While these are not names that probably lead your squad in DFS production, look for this name to exceed your price and offer a certain flexibility to bring more stars into your line -up.


Set your Draftkings Fantasy basketball position here: NBA $ 300,000 Shootaround [$100K to 1st]!


SF Michael Porter JR, Denver Nuggets against Oklahoma City Thunder, 4,500 US dollars

$ 4,500 on the higher side are what I usually goals in the value of the value, but this is a direct bargain for the production of Michael Porter JR .. Players like Andrew Nembhard (5,900 US dollars), Aaron Nesmith (5,400 US dollar), Christian Braun (5,300 US dollar), Max Strus dollar), TY Jerome) (5,000 US dollars) and Alex Caruso ($ 4,600) are one price higher.

While the 26-year-old is fighting a remarkable shoulder injury, he is not in his shoulder and continues to find ways to overcome it. Porter Jr. He achieved 34.5 fantasy points based on Draftkings after achieving an average of 31.5 fantasy points per game in the season.

He will only be the 100% version of itself after the low season, but there are still many options for the Missouri product. In five of the post -season, he scored more than 15 points and tried more than 10 FGA and 6+ 3PA in three of the last four games. Porter Jr. is an effective option for catch-and-shoot options, and Nikola Jokic makes life easier for him. Exciting you to find his places and benefit from Jokic's high -ranking games. Porter Jr. also shot the ball better this season and connected 40.3% of his three -point in Denver, compared to 38.6% on the street.

Count on the striker of the nuggets to build his strong performance in the previous matchup and to take on his necessary role in this nuggets team. Denver has the chance to take control of the series by taking over a 3: 1 series lead and needs the production of Porter JR for this. I like his chances of surpassing its price of $ 4,500 and continues to leave myself as an important part of the attack of the Nugget this evening.


SG/SF Bennedict Mathurin, Indiana Pacers against Cleveland Cavaliers, $ 4,100

Tyrese Haliburton (8,800 US dollars) Will continue to have its ups and downs and have a four-point, five-assist and 12.0 fantasy point stinker in game 3. Mathurin achieves an average of 26.7 fantasy points based on Draftking's -DFS hits in the season and produces 24.0 points per game in the last 10 days.

While Indiana should feel solid in terms of her 2-1 lead, Cleveland has in play in game 3 and looked much more dangerous in game 3, with Darius Garland and Evan Mabley returning to the ground. Mathurin still affected this team with full strength and has a career high in the playoff minute in game in game 3 in the playoff. The Arizona product has taken up a technical foul in the previous game after buying itself with D'Ore Andre Hunter, whereby this type of edge outside of Mathurin was largely missing in this Pacers team.

Cleveland has a strong central defense, but both Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland can guard their fights. Garland is particularly vulnerable to the toe injury against which he is fighting and will probably work with Mathurin in this game. According to NBA tracking data, Mathurin scored five of his points with Garland as the main defender in the previous game, although these were only 3.7 partial ownership and 0:46 of the Matchup minutes.

Search for Mathurin's self-protection and perimeter shooting to continue to be necessary for the success of this Pacers team. He achieved an average of 1.6 more points and 1.1 more rebounds per game per game when he plays at home this season, and the Indiana believers will be behind him tonight. Expect a performance at least in the area of ​​its season average of 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists, since Mathurin surpasses its price of $ 4,100.


PG/SG Cason Wallace, Oklahoma City Thunder at Denver Nuggets, 3,400 US dollars

The Oklahoma City Thunder is one of the deepest teams in the NBA that can make it difficult to evaluate them from a perspective. However, the youthful team wanted to find something in game 3 by looking at him as the main defender of Jamal Murray with him. While Lu used the first DIBs on this occasion, Wallace showed his value and bought 19:39 the Game action after playing 2 11:52 in game.

During the regular season, Wallace scored an average of 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals or 20.2 fantasy points per game at Draftkings. The Kentucky product is cut from the exact cloth with 3-and-D complementary guards, which every team should wish for. There are many teams, including those in the playoffs in which Wallace is classified for a major role in the team. His minutes were up and down due to the depth of this team in Oklahoma City, but his success against Jamal Murray should change. In 9:52 Matchup minutes and 47.9 partly possessions as Murray -leader defenders, the Denver Guard was limited to just eight points, while he shot 33.3% from the field.

This defensive impact should open the door for opportunities, but Wallace is able to deliver aggressively. It is a 38.9% career-triangle shooter and is more capable of dribbling than he can sometimes present. With so much defensive attention that is on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, look for Wallace to benefit from some open three-point options.

He will probably not achieve or break your overall result, but if you are looking for an inexpensive player with the top to meet more big names in your line -up, Cason Wallace is worth a swing. Expect that his chances on the ground will be expanded today and do not be surprised if this leads to a career-fitting playoff performance.
