Daily Fantasy NBA basketball for FanDuel / May 23-24 / Sleepers / Daily Lineups / Projections / Rankings /

Welcome back Everyone! I can’t believe what I just watched. Golden State just fell apart from top to bottom. Nobody could make a shot and yet they were settling for threes almost every time down the court. I understand that when your down 30+ points you need to start making threes left and right, but they died tonight because the three wasn’t falling. It almost felt like Golden State was just waiting for Curry to do something, only they figured out quickly that he was struggling too. Give OKC credit for how they played though. They put up 117 points in just three quarters alone. Russell had 30 points 8 rebounds and 12 assists. Fellow superstar teammate Kevin Durant produced a game high 33 points to go along with 8 rebounds. I do not expect this type of blowout to happen again and I think this game was an absolute fluke. Now I’m not saying OKC doesn’t deserve to win, cause in reality they out hustled and outplayed Golden state in every fashion. I just think Golden State will shoot much better and it’ll be a much more competitive game 4. The next FanDuel slate runs from May 23 to May 24.

 

I am now partnered with http://www.bettingtips101.com! Nightly MLB lineups will be for sale starting Tuesday, May 23rd!

Tonights NBA FanDuel slate runs from Monday-Tuesday:

The Cleveland Cavaliers @ The Toronto Raptors – Monday,  At 8:30 P.M.

The Golden State Warriors  @ Oklahoma City Thunder  – Tuesday, At 9:00 P.M

 

PG High Cost Plays:

Steph Curry:($9,900): Steph had an off shooting night himself but so did the entire Golden State team. Every single player looked rattled and shell shocked on the court. However, at the end of the day, Golden State will not get blowout like that in game 4. Their success is going start with Curry having a good game. Look for him to have a floor of 35 and a ceiling of 50 fantasy points. (FPPG- = 47.9)

Russell Westbrook:($9,800): Westbrook has been on an absolute tear as of late. He has either beaten Curry or has lost by 1 fantasy point over the past 10 games. Yet Curry still costs more than him, not really sure why that is but I’m not complaining. Russell finished game 3 with 30 points, 8 rebounds, to go with 12assists. They have another home game coming on Tuesday where he will look to exploit Golden State once again. His floor is 40 and his ceiling is 52 fantasy points.  (FPPG= 48.8)

Kyle Lowry:($7,800): Lowry had the bounce back game he needed in order for Toronto to win a game in this series. He finished up game 3 with 20 points to go with 6 rebounds and 3 assists. It certainly wasn’t a breakout performance but it is something to keep an eye on for game 4. His floor is going to be 25 and his ceiling is 38 fantasy points. (FPPG = 38.6)

 

PG High Value Picks:

Kyrie Iring:($7,100): Irving finally fell back down earth in game 3. He has had good game after good game and arguably he’s playing some of the best basketball in his career right now. Well, up until last night. Last night we saw the complete polar opposite of what we became accustomed to seeing. He shot an ice cold 3-19 from the field and struggled all night long. With that being said, he will not perform like that again in game 4. So look for him to have a floor of 28 and a ceiling of 38 fantasy points. (FPPG =30.7)

PG sleeper picks: Cory Joseph

Quick View: Point Guards: Projections For FanDuel:

Top 2 PG’s For the Slate:

1.) Russell Westbrook  –  50 FP

2.) Steph Curry  –  42 FP

 

SG High Cost Picks:

DeMar DeRozan:($8,000): DeRozan came out with a chip on his shoulder in game 3. He had been performing at a much lower clip throughout series, but when there is a home game involved, he always steps it up. He finished with a game high – 32 points and dished out 4 assists as the Raptors were finally able to stop the Cavs. Look for DeRozan to continue his run on Monday night in game 4. His floor is 35 and his ceiling is 48 fantasy points. (FPPG = 35.3)

Klay Thompson:($7,400): Klay Thompson had an awful shooting night in game 3. He usually makes a lot of the shots he was taking but he just couldn’t dial in from downtown. He shot 8-19 from the field in just 24 minutes of play. With that being said, the amount of shots Klay is putting up is extremely appealing and he usually shoots at a much higher clip than in game. I said it earlier and I’ll say it again, this game was a fluke for Golden State.  His floor is 28 and his ceiling is 35 fantasy points. (FPPG = 30.8)

 

SG High Value Picks:

J.R. Smith:($4,600): J.R. Smith is one of those guys who can disappear on any given night but he can also absolutely light it up. In games one and two he played very mediocre from a fantasy-point oriented standpoint. He finished with 15 FP both of those nights. However, in game three, he finished with 22 points and 5 rebounds. This doubled his previous fantasy scores in game 1 and 2, finishing with 30 fantasy points. As the Cavs look to go up 3-1 on Monday, look for his floor to be is 15 and his ceiling is 25. (FPPG = 20.2)

SG Sleeper Pick: Dion Waiters

Risky SG Plays: Terrence Ross

Quick View: Shooting Guards: Projections For FanDuel:

Top 2 SG’s For The Slate:

1.) DeMar DeRozan –  40 FP

2.) Klay Thompson  –  32 FP

 

SF High Cost Picks:

LeBron James:($10,100): LeBron James was yet again the top finisher for the Cavs. In truth, he was one of the few bright spots for them in this game other than J.R. Smith. He finished the game with 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists. He will only increase his role as the series continues and that is why his price is on the climb again. His floor for game four is 40 and his ceiling is 55 fantasy points.  (FPPG = 46.3)

Kevin Durant:($9,800): Durant had an unbelievable shooting night and only had 1 turnover in this one compared to 8 in his last outing. He finished game four with a shooting percentage of 66%. He shot 10-15 from the floor to go along with 12-12 from the charity strike. With another home game coming his way in game 4 look for him to have another very successful game. His floor is 38 and his ceiling is 48. (FPPG = 46.3)

 

SF High Value Picks:

Andre Iguodala:($4,500): Iggy has put together a lot of good games as of recent and he will continue to do so. He is the first off the bench and he provides the ending and a little secondary scoring. He faded Barnes out in this game so look for him to continue his up-tempo play in game 4. My personal opinion with Iggy is to roster him on your team simply because of last years playoff run in the finals. He plays better in clutch moments and feeds off the crowds energy. His floor is 18 and his ceiling is 25 fantasy points. (FPPG = 18.6)

 

SF Sleeper Picks: Harrison Barnes

Risky SF Picks: DeMarre Carroll

Quick View: Small Forwards: Projections For FanDuel:

Top 2 SF’s Tonight:

1.) LeBron James  –  48 FP

2.) Kevin Durant  –  48 FP

 

PF High Cost Picks:

Draymond Green:($9,400): If you spent up on Green last night it was one of the most disappointing outcomes for you. Green mustered up a total of 13 fantasy points in game 3. For his price that is just unacceptable. I am going to lean away from him in game 4 especially after the kick to Steven Adams nuts. I love Green as a player, but in this series I am going to avoid him until he shows me otherwise. His floor is 28 and his ceiling is 35 fantasy points. (FPPG = 39)

Kevin Love:($7,000): Love struggeled from the floor in game four. He put up 9 shots and only was able to connect with one of the. He also finished with one of his lowest fantasy point totals in well over a month. He wasn’t the only one though, Irving shot even worse than him. I do not think Love will play another game this poorly in the series. However, expectation should be tempered, as he hasn’t hit 30 fantasy points in any game this series. His floor in game four is 22 and his ceiling is 30. (FPPG = 32.2)

 

PF High Value Pick:

Serge Ibaka:($5,000): Serge Ibaka has been an interesting story throughout the playoffs. He has been playing some pretty up and down basketball. However, as we saw last night, when OKC is clicking on all cylinders, Ibaka is in fact a huge part of their success. I think he did perform better because of the blowout, but either way I like him for game 4 especially for the cheap price. His floor is 18 and his ceiling is 30 (FPPG = 25.5)

PF Sleeper Picks: Patrick Patterson

Risky PF Picks: Channing Frye

Quick View: Power Forwards: Projections For FanDuel:

Top 2 PF’s Tonight:

1.) Draymond Green  –  35FP

2.) Kevin Love – 28 FP

 

C High Cost Picks: **There Are No High Cost Centers Tonight Due to Injuries**

 

C High Value Picks:

Bismack Biyombo:($6,000): With Valanciunas being out again for game three, Biyombo took it upon himself to pull down 26 rebounds. That is a major part as to why Cleveland could never get the lead. They not only couldn’t make a shot, but they could,’t get any rebounds. I wasn’t heavy on him before, but if Valanciunas is again ruled out, look for Biyombo to have another successful night on Monday. His floor is 20 and his ceiling is 32 fantasy points. (FPPG =18.5)

Steven Adams:($5,200): Adams has taking cheap shot after cheap shot all series long. He is bruised and battered right now but will still get plenty of playing time so long as the game is close. He had a down game in this one because they were up by 35+ points going into the 4th quarter. OKC really kept the same lineup on the floor for the vast majority of the 3rd quarter. His floor in game 3 is 20 and his ceiling is 28 fantasy points. (FPPG = 19.3)

 

C Sleeper Picks: Tristan Thompson

C Risky Plays: Enes Kanter, Bogut

Top 2 C’s Tonight:

1.) Bismack Biyombo  –  30 FP

2.) Steven Adams – 25 FP
