Thursday, May 24th
The Western Conference finals see the Houston Rockets looking to close things out against Golden State with a 3-2 lead. Only one problem – they’ll be without future Hall-of-Famer Chris Paul for at least this game. This should impact the Houston rotation a bit and I’ve done my best to accurately project that. Andre Iguodala is the other player to keep an eye on. He’s listed as questionable after having missed the last two games. I’ve projected him, but it’s a situation to monitor. If he misses, expect a few more minutes to all the starters and a bigger role for the bench players.
As always, I am going to focus purely on numbers to help you build your lineups on FanDuel and DraftKings. I’ve included minutes history/projections and fantasy point projections for both FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s a pretty thorough look that should help you get the edge on those just throwing lineups together haphazardly. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
