Saturday, April 14th
Welcome to the first edition of the 2018 NBA Playoff Primer, where we’ll try to give you all the information you need to put together your DFS lineups for the big contests on DraftKings and FanDuel. Playoff NBA is a much more predictable iteration of regular season NBA as teams tighten their rotations and last minute “rest” scratches generally don’t take place. For each game I will list the game flow logs (clickable) for each game the two teams had this season, the minutes per game for players I am projecting to play in this game (including what I project them to play for Game 1), and the fantasy point production breakdown for DraftKings and FanDuel. I’ve also copied applicable charts from Notorious’s NBA First Look for easy reference. Last, but not least, I provided rankings and top point per dollar plays based on my projected values.
