The first NBA playoffs series wrapped up yesterday. Today there are four more matchups, with teams looking for a win before switching cities yet again. 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 30
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Boom CandidatesÂ
Jayson Tatum vs. Nets: $9,800/$10,500
45.2% DraftKings Boom/27.9% FanDuel Boom
Tatum apparently left all of his talent in Boston’s locker room since he absolutely exploded when the series came to Boston. He put up 50 points with six rebounds and seven assists in Game 3. While it’s foolish to expect a repeat performance, Tatum has been better at home this season. Last game is also a weight off his back, and the confidence has to be at an all-time high. So it’s worth going back to Tatum for NBA fantasy lineups today.
Deandre Ayton vs. Lakers: $6,700/$7,700
42.0% DraftKings Boom/26.8% FanDuel Boom
Ayton now has three playoff games in his career. He has a 20-point double-double in all three. His size and energy have made him tough for the Lakers to contain. It is possible Andre Drummond will slow him down, but the Lakers barely play him (see below). At a modest price, there’s little reason to expect anything other than a 20-point double-double from Ayton again today. Any defensive stats he adds are just gravy.

Luka Doncic vs. Clippers: $11,100/$11,500
41.9% DraftKings Boom/25.9% FanDuel Boom
Doncic is unstoppable. Once a terrific defense team, the Clippers look like they have zero idea of how to guard him. It has led to three games of at least 30 points. In Game 3, his first home playoff game, Doncic was a single rebound and assist away from a 44-point triple-double. He is operating with above 45% usage, and it should lead to another terrific NBA fantasy performance again.
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates
Andre Drummond vs. Suns: $5,600/$6,600
50.8% DraftKings Bust/69.6% FanDuel Bust
Outside of one game this series, Drummond has been terrible. A big reason is that he has played 20 minutes or fewer in these games. Even in his good performance (Game 2), Drummond played just 24 minutes. This low floor time isn’t enough opportunity for Drummond at this price, so it would be wise to avoid him.
