DraftKings + FanDuel Boom/Bust Projections | April 13

NBA Fantasy Picks: DraftKings + FanDuel Boom Candidates

Paul George vs. Pacers: $8,700 DraftKings/$9,000 FanDuel

31.3% DraftKings Boom/32.9% FanDuel Boom

Kawhi Leonard is listed out because of a foot injury. He probably is not actually injured, but the Clippers play another game tomorrow, so Leonard will probably play on Wednesday with George getting the night off against the Pistons. For today, George is tasked with leading the Clippers offense against an ailing Pacers team that is missing their best defender in Myles Turner. With Leonard off the court this season, George has a 35.4% usage rate, which makes him a needed play in cash games and one of the best tournament options of the day.

Andre Drummond vs. Hornets: $6,700 DraftKings/$7,000 FanDuel

45.9% DraftKings Boom/52.6% FanDuel Boom

Drummond comes into today with question marks. He is a strong per-minute fantasy producer for his career, but his production and playing time with the Lakers are inconsistent. On top of this, Drummond is dealing with an elbow injury and was just added to the injury report. If he is in, Drummond rates as the top boom play on FanDuel and the second-most likely player to boom on DraftKings. If he is out, expect more usage to go to guys like Dennis Schroder and Kyle Kuzma, with Montrezl Harrell also becoming a viable option since his price has come down since the Lakers added Drummond.

Brad Wanamaker vs. Lakers: $3,800 DraftKings/$4,600 FanDuel

48.5% DraftKings Boom/38.6% FanDuel Boom

The injury report for the Hornets should simply say that everybody is out. Gordon Hayward, P.J. Washington, LaMelo Ball, Terry Rozier and Malik Monk are all expected to miss tonight’s game With this in mind, the Hornets have a ton of playing time and usage up for grabs against a Lakers team that is also missing everybody. Backups playing backups is the heart of the final stretch of the NBA season. At a cheap price, expect Wanamaker to enter the starting lineup and play a massive role.

NBA Fantasy Picks: DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates

Donovan Mitchell vs. Rockets: $9,400 DraftKings/$9,200 FanDuel

75.4% DraftKings Bust/62.7% FanDuel Bust

With the Jazz expected to get players back today, the extra usage and playing time going to guys like Mitchell and Joe Ingles is going to dry up. Mike Conley rested yesterday but is expected to play tonight. Jordan Clarkson has missed the last few games but is trending towards playing today after getting upgraded to questionable. This is going to cut the usage and playing time for core pieces of the Utah rotation while Mitchell is at his ceiling price.
