Elite Players
Guards
Jamal Murray, Nuggets 
($8,200) at Lakers
Murray reached the 20-point mark in each of the first three games of the series, including a high of 50 DK points in Game 1. He is shooting just 37.7 percent from the field so far in the postseason, but continues to come up clutch when it matters most to help his side come out on top. He is likely to continue to shine against the Lakers, who conceded the league's second-most points per game to opposing point guards this season.
Tyler Herro, Heat 
($8,100) vs. Celtics
After a quiet Game 1, Herro stepped up with 24 points, five rebounds, 14 assists and a steal, for a total of 56.3 DK points to help the Heat steal Game 2 in Boston. With Butler remaining sidelined, Herro must look to bring another major effort in order to help carry his squad's offense. He also has the benefit of being back on home court, where he shot 4.8 percent better during the regular season, compared to when playing on the road.
Forwards/Centers
Jayson Tatum, Celtics 
($9,200) at Heat
Tatum delivered two strong performances to start the series, averaging 25.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.0 steals over two games. He continues to face an advantageous matchup in the absence of Butler, and should continue to stand out as one of the most dominant players on the court. Tatum actually shot and scored at a slightly better rate when on the road this season, which means he should have no trouble making a splash in Miami.
Paolo Banchero, Magic 
($8,300) vs. Cavaliers
Banchero topped 20 points in each of the first two games of the series in Cleveland, but he took his play to another level upon returning to home court, as he amassed 61.5 DK points, with 31 points, 14 rebounds, five assists and a steal, in Game 3. Banchero shot a significantly better field-goal percentage at home, compared to on the road during the regular season and has another opportunity to shine in Orlando, in Game 4. He should also continue to thrive in his positional matchup as the Cavs gave up the league's eighth-most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Bam Adebayo, Heat ($8,000) vs. Celtics
Adebayo has yet to deliver a stand-out performance this series but reached 35 DK points in Games 1 and 2, helping secure the road win in Game 2. He will remain a critical part of the Heat's success on both ends of the floor and must continue to look to step up offensively in the absence of Butler. Adebayo is likely to prosper again versus the Celtics, who gave up the league's fourth-most offensive rebounds per game during the regular season.
Expected Chalk
Nikola Jokic, Nuggets ($11,200) at Lakers
Jokic produced 58.3 DK points in the Nuggets' Game 3 win in L.A., which marked his lowest DK total of the series, while he is averaging 27.7 points, 15.7 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.7 steal, over the last three games. He has been dominant against the Lakers through a total of six meetings this season and will likely bring his best effort in order to attempt to close out the first-round series in four games.
Mid-Range Money
Franz Wagner, Magic ($6,800) vs. Cavaliers
Wagner topped 30 DK points in all three games of the first-round series by provided well-rounded contributions across the stat sheet. He is averaging 17.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 blocks across the three outings and has a good opportunity to excel at home in Game 4, after he shot almost five percent better at home, as opposed to on the road this season. He is also likely to pas his stats at the foul line after the Cavs gave up the league's third-most free throws per game to opposing small forwards this season.
Aaron Gordon, Nuggets ($6,300) at Lakers
After two solid performances to start the series, Gordon turned up his play in Game 3, where he tallied a stellar stat line with 29 points, 15 rebounds, three assists and a steal, in 41 minutes of action. He should continue to pad his stats against the Lakers' shorthanded frontcourt, as they are giving up the second-most rebounds among current playoff teams.
Jonas Valanciunas, Pelicans 
($6,000) vs. Thunder
Valanciunas has done a solid job stepping up in the absence of Williamson in the Pelicans' frontcourt. He came up with a whopping 20 rebounds in Game 1, and he turned up his scoring with 19 points in Game 2. Regardless of the final result, Valanciunas is likely to continue to prosper against the Thunder's frontcourt, as they gave up the league's third-most rebounds to opposing centers during the regular season.
Value Picks
Caris LeVert, Cavaliers 
($4,900) at Magic
LeVert was relatively quiet in Games 1 and 2, but brought a better effort in Game 3, where he totaled 23.5 DK points in 29 minutes of action. The Cavs need another stand-out performance from their sixth man, as they look to avoid returning home back at square one, with the series tied. LeVert also showed better shooting percentages and point totals on the road, compared to at home during the regular season.
Duncan Robinson, Heat ($3,300) vs. Celtics
Robinson has yet to top 15 DK points in the series, while he is shooting just 33.3 percent from the field over the two games. Nonetheless, he has a great opportunity to reset his rhythm on home court, where he shot 45.4 percent from the field, including 38.3 percent from deep during the regular season. He will also continue to pick up added playing time while his squad remains shorthanded.
