The series are flipping cities, as Game 3s of three different matchups taking place tonight. Some teams have lost their homecourt advantage, while others are desperately fighting to ensure they don’t fall to 0-3. Gamers can use the Awesemo Boom vs. Bust Tool and NBA fantasy projections to help navigate the range of outcomes for NBA DFS picks today. The following are some of the best picks on DraftKings and FanDuel based on their probabilities of booming or busting.
Boom/Bust NBA Fantasy Projections | May 28
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Boom CandidatesÂ
Luka Doncic vs. Clippers: $11,000/$10,500
39.4% DraftKings Boom/28.2% FanDuel Boom
Many though Doncic would get disrupted in Game 2, with the Clippers making sure he would not beat them. That didn’t happen, and it’s looking like Doncic is unstoppable. Heading home to Dallas, could he step it up even more? He had a ridiculous 47.7% usage rate in Game 2, scoring 39 points with seven rebounds and seven assists. Even if his scoring comes down, he has contributed more in the rebound and assist categories — he’s coming in at seven rebounds and nine assists in the Awesemo NBA DFS projections tonight.
Paul George vs. Mavericks: $8,100/$8,800
48.1% DraftKings Boom/22.5% FanDuel Boom
George used the momentum from the second half of Game 1 and carried it into Game 2. While he is usually the punchline to a playoff joke, George had a solid game, putting up 28 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. Many will stay away from him due to his history of falling apart in the postseason, but Game 2 showed that it’s possible that he has gotten past that. George is a better NBA fantasy value on DraftKings, where he’s the No. 1 overall value play in the NBA DFS projections, but consider him on both sites.

Kristaps Porzingis vs. Clippers: $7,600/$7,500
33.9% DraftKings Boom/28.2% FanDuel Boom
Porzingis also bounced back in Game 2. After a series of poor performances, he scored 20 points and racked up three steals and two blocks. There is still plenty of room for improvement since he again grabbed just four rebounds and did not record an assist. So as long as the shot is falling again, Porzingis is playable. If he can grab more boards, he could be a boom.
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates
Bogdan Bogdanovic vs. Knicks: $6,900/$7,600
54.5% DraftKings Bust/78.4% FanDuel Bust
There are only so many NBA fantasy points to go around when playing the defense of the Knicks, and Bogdanovic has been a bust in back-to-back games. He has a cheaper, more reasonable price on DraftKings, but he still may be a player to avoid tonight. There isn’t much fantasy value overall in this game due to the low scoring, so keep that in mind when picking Knicks and Hawks.
