NBA Playoffs Fanduel Lineup Advice and Analysis for 5/14/15

NBA Playoffs Fanduel Lineup 5/14/15
NBA Playoff Games for 5/14

As usual I’m writing this too early in the night to really know how my lineups are doing. Really surprised Wall played tonight after all the talk of him not playing again for the entire playoffs. He actually looks good, but not $10,000 good, so I’ll continue to fade him on Friday unless his price comes down.

Speaking of Friday, I have some pretty exciting news. Everyone may or may not know, but DFSDoctor, my MLB DraftKings writer has moved on to a paid gig over at Rotowriters.com, and now I’m excited to announce I will be guest blogging on their site twice a week as well.

Don’t worry, I’ll still be posting here as I normally would, the only difference is for the rest of the NBA season(less than a month) on Friday’s only, you’ll find my NBA post on their site. I’ll still put up a page here, but it will link to my post on their site. That’ll only be on Friday’s.

Wednesday I’ll post a Season-long Fantasy NFL on their site, but my NBA post will be here as it normally would on Wednesday. Guest blogging on their site will hopefully bring some more exposure to my site and help me grow the GoingFor2 brand.

I’ll follow-up that exciting news up with my continued promotion of Draftpot.com. In case you missed it, I posted a Draftpot Lineup Advice post last night and it generated more traffic than I expected, so I will continue to post lineup advice.

I’ll take a minute and mention how easy it is to sign-up. Go to Draftpot.com, use my Promo Code: GOING42, verify your email(this step is important, some of y’all have signed up but not verified your email), my code gives you $4 free. Then you can enter some contests and win money. I’ve already won 4 head to heads and a GPP over there. I’ve turned $4 into $68 in less than 2 weeks! Jump on board now while the tournaments are small and winnable.

Ok, let’s break down tonight’s games…


 

Point Guards

Derrick Rose

Derrick Rose $8500 Derrick is the best option at the point. Paul will be good as well, but he is a grand more expensive. Rose is listed as GTD, but everything I read, he is fine and will play.

Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving $8400 I played him the other night as a contrarian play, and it almost paid off, but the rest of my lineup didn’t show up. I’m going to go with him again as the contrarian play tonight. This is a potential close out game, and if the Cavs can close it out they will be able to rest and wait the winner of Atlanta and Washington. With LeBron’s ankle, Kryrie’s multiple issues, and Shumperts minor injury, that’s enough incentive for them to go all out to win this game.

Shooting Guards


 

NBA Playoffs Fanduel Lineup 5/14/15
James Harden

James Harden $9900 During the regular season, Harden had a tendency to string big games together, and that’s what I’m expecting him to do tonight. The Clippers will be looking to close them out and Harden will do everything in his power to bring this series back to Houston. With his price tag under 10K he is a little more affordable, and he could be due for a 60 burger.

Jimmy Butler $7900 So let me get this straight, Jimmy Butler scores 45 Fanduel Points in his last game and his price goes down $400? Makes sense to me. He is a must play at this price. Hell, he was a must play at $8300 the other night.


 

Small Forwards


 

LeBron and Ariza, everyone else is a crap shoot. Move along.


 

Power Forwards

Blake Griffin

Blake Griffin $11400 So Blake apparently plays better on the road? His three road games; 50, 59, and 51. His two home games 37 and 35. I don’t expect that trend to continue. Clippers will close it out at home only if Griffin plays big and I’m expecting him too. Now “Let’s bake this cake” -Blake Griffin from his awful Kia commercials.

Nikola Nirotic

Nikola Mirotic $2000 As long as he remains 2K he will be in my lineup. He plays better at home by far, and if Pau is limited at all, he’ll get a minutes bump.


 

Center

DeAndre Jordan

DeAndre Jordan $8300 I’m finally jumping off the “value” centers in Noah and Mosgov, as they have both let me down in recent weeks. I’m paying up tonight and I’m taking Jordan at his lowest price in a while. Jordan feeds off the home crowd and vise versa. If he could just stay out of foul trouble, in other words, don’t go ANY where near James Harden. He is the master at creating a foul.
