Guard
Stud
Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors at San Antonio Spurs ($9,100) — The Warriors do this every year. Steve Kerr and Curry don’t care about the regular season. It’s smart. Why play hard and wear down for months to earn one more home game in the playoffs? Curry has clocked in. It’s not November. The playoffs are coming. The Spurs play at a fast pace and don’t play defense.
Other Options — Trae Young ($9,500)
Value
Ryan Rollins, Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks ($4,100) — Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely be back on Sunday, but Rollins still has value. With Damian Lillard sidelined indefinitely, Rollins has received increased minutes and usage. He’s not just an injury swap. He was 7-for-9 from the field against the Nuggets on March 26 and followed that with an 8-for-12 performance on March 28.
Other Options — Mike Conley ($3,400)
Forward
Stud
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks ($11,900) — The Freak Show is back. The Greek Freak is the only show in town. Damian Lillard is sidelined. Khris Middleton was shipped out months ago. Bobby Portis is suspended. It’s just Johnny. The Bucks need to get back on track. Their season is unraveling. Only Johnny Ant can save them. While other teams wind down, the Bucks must buck up.
Other Options — Miles Bridges ($9,000)
Value
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, New Orleans Pelicans vs. Charlotte Hornets ($3,300) — The JRE isn’t a podcast. It’s an NBA DFS value pick. J-Rob is just under a fantasy point per minute. With a 30-minute projection, he’ll be popular on Sunday’s DraftKings slate.
Other Options — Tidjane Salaun ($3,300)
Center
Stud
Alperen Sengun, Houston Rockets at Phoenix Suns ($9,600) — This is boring. Sengun never goes off. He’s not an exciting NBA DFS pick. Sengun can be faded on larger slates. He’s a staple on smaller slates. The “Goon” is a cash lock when upside stars are in limited supply due to rest.
Other Options — Kevin Durant ($9,700)
Value
Jusuf Nurkic, Charlotte Hornets at New Orleans Pelicans ($3,800) — Nurk needs minutes. Why did the Hornets trade for him? Mark Williams is resting on Sunday. It’s Nurk and Moussa Diabate ($3,100) vs. the Pels. Play them both.
Other Options — Orlando Robinson ($4,700)
