Tuesday does not leave us with many players to choose from, as there are only two games. The Houston Rockets will host the Dallas Mavericks to hopefully end the series. The Rockets should be able to increase their shooting percentages, as a repeat of Game 4 would be another rarity to an otherwise spectacular Houston offense. The Mavericks will need to get behind Monta Ellis and J.J. Barea if they want to send this series to Game 5. The Houston front court has been able to produce and limit the Mavericks offense fairly well over the past four games. Game 5 should be a shootout between the guards on both teams. Monta Ellis, J.J. Barea, James Harden, Corey Brewer, and Tyson Chandler will all be in my lineup for tomorrow.
I personally do not like nights that only consist of two games, but these are very "tasty" match-ups. The Clippers offense is known to explode on any given night, while the Spurs defense has proven that the Clippers can be contained. This game has been hard to predict as the Clippers overwhelming offense can play so confidently one night and the opposite the next. The advantage is going to the home team, as Blake Griffin, Jamal Crawford, Kawhi Leonard, and Boris Diaw round off my go to players for the contest in Los Angeles.
It is hard to determine and choose the right players on a night with only two games, so I will only be choosing one player as a value pick for tomorrow.

DraftKings Sleeper & Value Pick
Patrick Mills (SA, G) - $3,100
Patty Mills has shown times of promise, and I plan for him to fully embrace his potential in Los Angeles against the Clippers. Tony Parker has not been able to fully produce, and Mills' minutes increased over the last game. Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is a hard man to predict, but the increase in minutes for Mills' could lead to a big night. He has proven himself as a player who needs to be the focus during his time on the court. It is only a matter of time before Mills has one of those games that reassures his spot on a talented Spurs roster. While I will be playing him hoping that day comes on Tuesday, his low price frees up space to grab the big name players on a night of only two games. Important players like James Harden or Blake Griffin need to be played tomorrow, leaving a perfect role for Patty Mills to fill as the value play in your lineup.
