Favorite Players to Use for NBA DFS Lineups

De'Aaron Fox, Sacramento Kings

There will be a theme here in building our lineup around this Kings vs. Warriors game. This game has the highest game total on the slate with a whopping 237 points. Fox has scored over 53 fantasy points in each game this series and is only $9,000 on DraftKings, that seems like a no-brainer to me. Fox also has a 30% usage rate through the first three games, which is the highest in the entire series.

Domantas Sabonis, Sacramento Kings

Sabonis has had somewhat of a quiet series when it comes to the standards he posted during the regular season. Through the first three games of this series, his points and assists are down. He averaged just over seven assists during the regular season, but he hasn't dished out more than four assists in any game. We expect him to have the ball more in his hands in this one, working around the elbow. We look for Sabonis to drop his 50 fantasy point performance in these playoffs.

Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors 

We have yet to see Klay have a blow-p performance in this series, and he is due for one. What better time to do it than at home and in a game in which you can tie the series heading back to Sacramento? Thompson has shot fine through the first three games sitting at 42% from the floor and 38% from behind the arc on 34 attempts. With the upside Klay possesses in this one, we should have him in our lineups tonight. 

Al Horford, Boston Celtics

It is tougher to find cheaper plays as teams tighten up their rotations in the playoffs. Al is playing over 30 minutes per game through the first three games of the series and has scored over 25 fantasy points in two of the three games. He doesn't have a ton of ceiling here, but the floor of around 20 points is what is tantalizing about him in this one. If you can get 25 fantasy points from him tonight you will be happy.

Malik Monk, Sacramento Kings

I like stacking the Kings players tonight. We have seen Monk explode in games 1-2 going for over 32 fantasy points in each game. But once the series flipped to the Chase Center he shot just 1-9 from the field and 0-4 from behind the arc. People could be off of him tonight coming off a bad shooting game, but I love the upside he possesses. If he and Klay both go off tonight your lineup will be looking great.
