Worth the Investment

Dennis Schroder (Atl, PG) $4000

Let’s be honest here: you really should have Stephen Curry in your primary point guard slot somehow. The bigger question is which lower-tier point guard to pair up with Curry. My money is on Schroder, whose investment price is incredibly low compared to every other notable point guard playing on Monday, as his potential to have an incredible game despite his bench role is extremely attractive when entering a large pool in FanDuel. Schroder is the ideal pick for your second point guard slot due to his production, which has rivaled that of Jeff Teague. The other two viable options at point guard are Ramon Sessions and Mike Conley, and Schroder looks to possibly outperform both of them in an effort to stay in this series against the Washington Wizards. During the postseason, Schroder has averaged 10.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He stepped up in Game 3, scoring 18 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and a steal in an incredible bench effort by the Atlanta Hawks. Coach Budenholzer won't be afraid to roll with Schroder in a prominent offensive role if he continues this solid play in Game 4.

Honorable Mentions: Stephen Curry (GSW, PG), Courtney Lee (Mem, SG)

 

Otto Porter (Was, SF) $5100

The Otto Porter hype train is here, though I’ve honestly tried my best to resist it for the longest time. In retrospect, I don’t particularly blame myself for being late to the party, if only because of the lack of consistent playing time throughout the regular season. However, Porter has really taken this opportunity in the postseason to show us his true skillset on top of the hustle that we already knew about. Porter's investment price has been slowly rising among the small forwards on FanDuel, and outside of Demarre Carroll, his production is as good if not better than any other guy you can pick. Porter has had a decent postseason, averaging 11.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals. He has also picked up his production even further in this second-round series against the Hawks, as Atlanta seems to have trouble containing him both in the half court and in transition. Without John Wall, Washington needed someone other than Bradley Beal and Paul Pierce to step up as an offensive threat. Porter has been their man, and he looks like a solid pick at small forward from here on out.

Honorable Mention: Zach Randolph (Mem, PF)

 

Marc Gasol (Mem, C) $8700

The Warriors look beatable at this point, as the Memphis Grizzlies have used their big men to completely control the pace of the game against the Splash Brothers. Gasol is completely dominating Andrew Bogut, and in the process he's also taking Draymond Green out of a lot of rebounding opportunities. Gasol plays extremely well at home, and provides a key anchor to both the Memphis lineup and your fantasy roster for Monday’s slate of games. Gasol had a huge Game 3, scoring 21 points, 15 rebounds, two assists and a steal. Expect more of the same from Big Spain, as the Grizzlies will play Game 4 at the Grindhouse and attempt to establish total control of this series. This postseason, Gasol has averaged 19.9 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals. Gasol’s minutes and production are pretty much guaranteed at the center position, which provides some useful stability when compared to the fluctuations you might see with some of the the lower-tier options at center.

Honorable Mention: Marcin Gortat (Was, C)

 

Sleeper Pick

Nene Hilario (Was, PF) $3800

There are definitely safer picks at the power forward position, but Nene showed in Game 3 that he has plenty of game and can definitely stand against the front line of the Atlanta Hawks. His outburst in production (especially in the first quarter) was likely a response to the criticism he's been hearing this postseason. In Game 3, Nene scored 17 points, seven boards, four assists, a block and a steal, proving that he can still contribute to his team. The Wizards will need Nene to continue his good play as they look for some production out of their big men to free up Pierce and Beal to be as effective as possible in the half court. At his current investment price, Nene could be an incredible selection at your second power forward slot, if he can put up another gem like he did in Game 3.

Honorable Mention: Harrison Barnes (GSW, SF)
