Favorite Players
Patrick Beverley
Love him or hate him Beverley makes every team he is on better. This includes your fantasy team believe it or not as Beverley has shown out so far in the playoffs. In his two games, Beverley is averaging 8.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, a steal, and a block. Beverley has at least 28 fantasy points in both of those games and has produced at least that amount of fantasy points in four of his last five games. If we look back at his performances against Memphis this season we should not expect game one to be a fluke either as Beverley has at least 24 fantasy points in each of his five games against them and at least 27 fantasy points in his past four games against them.
P.J. Tucker
Tucker is dealing with an injury and is listed as questionable tonight. While the questionable tag means a player is a coin flip to play I don’t see Tucker sitting this one out. If Tucker does play as I expect he would be one of the best value plays on this slate as I expect we see a performance similar to what we saw in game one from him. In that game, Tucker went for 16 points, five rebounds, and an assist on his way to 25.75 fantasy points.
Chris Paul
There are only three games on this slate but there is no storage of elite point guards to choose from tonight. Paul is my favorite point guard of the group of elite players at that position as he has dominated the team that drafted him all season long. In his two regular-season games against the Pelicans, Paul averaged a double-double and produced at least 40 fantasy points. In game one, Paul who has his best chance to finally win a chip went for 30/7/10 with three steals and a block on his way to 64.25 fantasy points.
