With four games on this NBA Saturday slate, we have three matchups switching cities, while the series in Miami could finish in a sweep today. Some teams have lost their homecourt advantage, while others are desperately fighting to stay alive. 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 29
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Boom CandidatesÂ
Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. Heat: $10,700/$11,100
52.4% DraftKings Boom/40.3% FanDuel Boom
Simply, Giannis didn’t need to score last game. He attempted just 12 shots, whereas he attempted 27 and 23 in their first two games, respectively. His rebounds and assists continue to come in at a high level. So, if he picks up his aggressiveness on the offensive end, Giannis has a very good chance to be the top overall NBA fantasy scorer today — he’s No. 1 in the NBA DFS projections today with a 59.09-point projection. He should come in with that mindset, as another dominant win would result in a sweep and some days off for Milwaukee. The Heat likely won’t roll over and die, so Giannis should be forced to try 100% this afternoon.
Jimmy Butler vs. Bucks: $8,600/$9,000
51.2% DraftKings Boom/45.2% FanDuel Boom
We’re still waiting for Jimmy Butler to show up. Unfortunately, there isn’t much time life. If he doesn’t show up this afternoon, the Bucks will sweep the Heat. Typically throughout his entire life, Butler has thrived when his back has been up against the wall. He loves proving doubters wrong. So, assuming this continues to hold true, one could assume we see Butler’s best playoff performance today. At a price that doesn’t break the bank, it seems like a good decision to have exposure to him as he sits atop the NBA DFS projections as the best value play on the slate.

Nikola Jokic vs. Trail Blazers: $10,400/$10,700
46.8% DraftKings Boom/33.2% FanDuel Boom
The soon-to-be MVP is as steady as they come. He has scored 34-plus points in all three playoff games, while adding double-digit rebounds in two of the games. The NBA fantasy point output has essentially been the same throughout the entire series. The way he becomes a “boom” play today is if the assists come. Jokic has five assists in back-to-back games. Approaching double-digits in this category could make him the top overall scorer today.
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates
Aaron Gordon vs. Trail Blazers: $5,300/$5,400
54.6% DraftKings Bust/59.2% FanDuel Bust
Despite having a modest price, Aaron Gordon is proving that he has zero upside. Gordon was a bust these past two games, and there are far more ways he is a bust than just hitting value. With Jokic leading the way and other contributors in the frontcourt, along with seeing some Robert Covington defense, it’s tough to imagine a scenario where Gordon is a “boom” play today.
