Boom/Bust NBA Fantasy Projections | May 14

NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Boom Candidates

Luka Doncic vs. Raptors: $10,800 DraftKings/$10,100 FanDuel

17.8% DraftKings Boom/31.6% FanDuel Boom

Luka Doncic is able to beat up on an inconsistent Toronto team today. After a stretch of terrible NBA fantasy performances, Luka seemed to bounce back last game. Maybe it was due to getting Kristaps Porzingis back on the floor, or possibly it was a coincidence. Either way, Porzingis is back tonight, and the Mavericks need a big win to improve their confidence and avoid falling into the play-in games.

Jordan Poole vs. Pelicans: $4,100 DraftKings/$5,000 FanDuel

69.7% DraftKings Boom/50.0% FanDuel Boom

Steph Curry is questionable tonight with a tailbone injury. The assumption appears to be that he will be absent tonight, which would mean great things for Jordan Poole. He should get the start and put up numbers similar to Curry’s absence earlier in the year, when Poole totaling shots in the mid-teens and a few rebounds and assists each. Facing the Pelicans, the potential for a big game rises even more. Our Awesemo NBA DFS projections have Poole slated for 34.88 points tonight.

Chimezie Metu vs. Grizzlies: $4,100 DraftKings/$4,200 FanDuel

69.7% DraftKings Boom/59.5% FanDuel Boom

Metu gets a second straight matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies, as well as a second straight appearance in this article. He was given the start in Marvin Bagley‘s absence, and he put up 17 points and five rebounds in 34 minutes. Bagley could be out again today, as could Richaun Holmes, who left yesterday’s game injured after only 10 minutes. This should mean another big minute night for Metu at a cheap price.

NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates

Kristaps Porzingis vs. Raptors: $8,600 DraftKings/$6,800 FanDuel

92.3% DraftKings Bust/50% FanDuel Bust

Choosing Porzingis for our bust is to show you that he’s at least playable on FanDuel today, though he is still someone you should likely avoid. He did score 19 points in his return, but he played just 21 minutes. While he could be incredibly efficient again in this matchup, it’s a tough ask, and his minutes will continue to be limited. It’s wise to just avoid Porzingis altogether.
