DraftKings + FanDuel Boom/Bust Projections | April 19

NBA Fantasy Picks: DraftKings + FanDuel Boom Candidates

Isaiah Stewart vs. Cavaliers: $5,200 DraftKings/$4,800 FanDuel

17.7% DraftKings Boom/39.1% FanDuel Boom

Stewart rates out well as a play whenever Mason Plumlee is out. Presumably because the Pistons have a winnable game against the Cavaliers that they don’t want to win, they are resting player by the bundle. Plumlee is sitting, along with Dennis Smith Jr., Jerami Grant, Sekou Doumbouya, Wayne Ellington, Cory Joseph and Rodney McGruder. This opens up all sorts of playing time and usage in the Pistons’ starting lineup. I expect Stewart to start which is a role he’s found success in this season. In five start, Stewart is averaging 35.25 DraftKings points.

Daniel Gafford vs. Thunder: $4,000 DraftKings/$4,100 FanDuel

20.3% DraftKings Boom/37.1% FanDuel Boom

There is an opportunity for Gafford to play big minutes today, and he scores over a fantasy point per minute. He has played extremely well in the last couple of games, so his playing time could go up naturally, but there are also injuries here. Rui Hachimura is officially out, and Alex Len is questionable. Len has started for the Wizards over the last couple of months, so Gafford could take over the starting center role. If this is the case, Gafford instantly becomes an even stronger play based on his average of 24.4 DraftKings points in just 18.5 minutes per game with Washington. In addition, the Wizards are favored by 12.5 points, and if this is a blowout, Gafford will get garbage-time run.

Dewayne Dedmon vs. Rockets: $3,000 DraftKings/$3,900 FanDuel

44.4% DraftKings Boom/32.6% FanDuel Boom

The Miami injury report is a mess. Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo are all out. This comes in addition to Jimmy Butler, Goran Dragic and Andre Iguodala all considered questionable to play today. Miami has a great matchup against the Rockets that it should win no matter who is active, so it looks like the Heat are viewing this game as a pseudo day off. This makes it a good spot to throw the newcomer, Dedmon, into the rotation to see what he can bring to the team. He dropped a double-double in just 15 minutes yesterday and could find himself in the starting lineup tonight.

NBA Fantasy Picks: DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates

Chris Paul vs. Bucks: $7,900 DraftKings/$7,700 FanDuel

81.6% DraftKings Bust/65.3% FanDuel Bust

There are some big concerns about the Suns heading into the playoffs. This team plays a brutal schedule to finish the season, which includes playing five games on the road in the next week, and all of these games are against playoff teams. Phoenix only has a total of four more games left at home. Fatigue is going to potentially play a big factor for the Suns when the playoffs start. With this in mind, he starters may not get pushed very hard on this upcoming road trip. Tread carefully rostering any of them.
