Jayson Tatum and the Celtics look to bounce back in Miami for Game 2 of the East Finals. After a Game 1 masterpiece from Miami — in which they trailed by double digits but used a third-quarter run to dominate — it was never really close after that. The Heat got a gem of a game from Jimmy Butler in that victory, and he’ll obviously be featured in this article! With that in mind, let’s start by looking at the injury report. Create the optimal lineup using our NBA DFS lineup optimizer… Source link

Stephen Curry and the Warriors host the Mavericks for Game 1 of the West finals. Seeing the Mavericks maul the Suns on Sunday was one of the most shocking results I’ve ever witnessed. I wonder what will happen in this series because Golden State has had some questionable performances themselves. The Warriors will definitely be the favorite heading in, but this could be the start of something special for Luka Doncic. It does leave us with single-game slates from here on out, but we’re… Source link

Southern Hills Country Club will play the host role this week at the 104th PGA Championship. We’ve seen this Tulsa course host four previous editions of the PGA and it always proves to be a tough test.

So, to start our search for Yahoo DFS plays, let’s look at historical performance on tough courses. From there, we can look at bentgrass putting stats to see who has… Source link

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat host the Boston Celtics for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. What if I told you at the beginning of the year that the Nets, Lakers, Suns, Bucks, and Clippers would all miss the conference finals? That’s what’s happened, and it should be fun to watch these final four battle for an unlikely championship. With that said, let’s kick things off with these Eastern Conference finals between Miami and Boston. Injury Report Core Plays Jimmy Butler (SF… Source link

We have three Game 7s on Saturday, which is super exciting. That also means some DFS opportunities as well. The first game is at 4:30 p.m. EDT. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your lineups. GOALIE Mike Smith, EDM vs. LOS ($37): Smith remains my process-of-elimination choice in net.

As such, give me Smith at… Source link

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks look to close out the series in Game 6 against the Boston Celtics.

Joel Embiid and the Sixers hope to push the series back to Miami for a Game 7. The home team has dominated, winning every game in both these two series. The Game 5s were particularly ugly, with Phoenix and Miami winning by a combined 65 points. We’re hoping that these games are closer because that led to one of the lowest-scoring slates of the season on Tuesday. Injury Report Core Plays Joel Embiid (C – PHI): $48 Embiid looked disinterested in Game 5, but there’s no way that’ll… Source link

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors look to close out the series in Game 5 at Memphis. Our first few days at Yahoo have been incredible. One thing we love about their site is its pricing. We don’t have these massive four and five-figure salaries to deal with, making the math a bit easier on us. Having minimum players at $10 and the best players between $50-60 makes lineup construction much more straightforward, and we feel like we have a good read on how these playoffs are playing… Source link
