NBA DFS DROPPIN DIMES(Playoff Edition)- Thursday, April 21st
The NBA playoffs continue with a 3-game slate tonight starting at 7:30p.m.
The “Droppin Dimes,” article will go over my favorite plays for the slate. It will consist of three to five core plays along with some additional plays and some value plays. You will not always see the highest-priced players or the most obvious plays. The article will be the building blocks to help construct lineup/s.

NOTES
Luka Doncic is listed as questionable and could play tonight. He is viable if playing.

CORE
Donovan Mitchell– has played 41 and 42 minutes respectively in the first two games of this series. Taking 29 and 30 shots! Sign me up all day for his minutes and shot attempts at under 9k.

Anthony Edwards– is playing big minutes for the Wolves in the first two games averaging right around 37.5. The upside is what I am looking at here as he posted 54.5 in the first game. Shot attempts are good at 23 and 16 and Edwards can contribute in all other categories including STOCKS. The Wovles are at home tonight and I am expecting Edwards to come through with another 50 burger.

Brandon Clarke– has been the most consistent big for the Grizzlies. Averaging 24 minutes and 1.25 FPPM with a double-double in the first game. Adams has not done well against Towns and lost minutes of the first two game. This could be another good spot for Clarke coming in under 5K.

Royce O’Neale– the key here is the price and the minutes O’Neale plays. He is on the court most of the game and has shown decent upside. This game should stay close, especially if Doncic plays and O’Neale will have some more time on the court and more opportunities.
