We finally have a three game slate, and it is a great slate for fantasy. There are elite options, but there are also more than enough salary relief options. That bodes well for lineup construction today.
In this article, I will be providing you with daily NBA lineup picks for DraftKings on 5/07/17. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays. Shall we dance?

DraftKings DFS Guards
Isaiah Thomas – PG, at WAS ($9,000)
Thomas struggled in the Celtics last game, which was a blowout, but he had scored 71.5 and 51.25 fantasy points in the first two games of this series. He’s an elite scorer, who can add a few peripheral stats each night, as well. His price dropped drastically from the Celtics last game, and Thomas is an elite option, especially for his price tag on this slate.
Cory Joseph – PG, vs CLE ($4,000)
Kyle Lowry recently stated that he does not expect to suit up today, which means Joseph will be locked into big minutes again. He has scored 20.75 and 35.0 fantasy points in his last two games, and he will be a bigger part in the offense tonight. There are only three games on this slate, and Joseph will likely be owned by the majority of the league. He’s an avoid at your own risk type of player.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
LeBron James – SF/PF, at TOR ($12,200)
James has been an elite player in the postseason, and he’s averaging 36.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 block, and 1.7 steals per game against the Raptors in the postseason. He’s a triple double threat on a nightly basis, and he has scored at least 30 points in all but one game this postseason. He isn’t going to come cheap, but there is more than enough value to get him in your lineups today.
Bojan Bogdanovic – SG/SF, vs BOS ($4,100)
Bogdanovic enters this game with a 22.71 usage rating, and he scored 38 fantasy points in 29 minutes in the Wizards last game. He will see extended minutes tonight, as Kelly Oubre has been suspended. Bogdanovic is the type of player that can score fantasy points in a hurry, and he’s another avoid at your own risk salary relief options on this slate.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Clint Capela – C, vs SA ($5,100)
Capela has looked outstanding recently, as he’s averaging 13.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 3.3 blocks in only 25.6 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has scored at least 40 fantasy points in two of his three games against the Spurs, and he comes with a surprisingly low price tag. He makes an elite salary relief option once again today.
