Cash Game NBA Breakdown For 9.7

154

What’s happening ladies and gentlemen? We find ourselves in the process of navigating the tricky dog days of the NBA playoffs. We only have a little two-game slate and with us getting into round two that’s going to be the norm here and beyond. With slates like these I typically recommend avoiding cash contest but if you are still running cash lineups have no fear. I still have my selections for you to help you continue your winning ways. A lot of what we say between the articles will be echoing the same thing due to a shortened slate so bear with us if it sounds a little repetitive. Enough talking , here are my cash game NBA Breakdown For 9.7.

Slate Note: My picks are going to be a good bit less due to the size of the slate but there should be a few guys that we can take advantage up tonight. I am personally off of Nikola Jokic in all formats if he plays. Additionally I’m going to format my plays by price not position today.

Cash Game NBA Breakdown 9.7: Top tier for the sake of this slate is anyone over 8K.

Kawhi Leonard, Clippers, 10.1K(DK)10.6K(FD) :

Top of the mountain and for good reason. Kawhi just goes out and does his thing moves on. He’s been playing in the high 30’s-low 40’s most nights and you pretty much know that he will give you a good score on most nights.

Paul George, Clippers, 8.3K(DK)/7.3K(FD):

“Playoff P” finally looks like he is earning his goofy moniker. He hasn’t had a ceiling game by any stretch but he’s given you numerous performances of over 40 DK points which is a decent enough floor for cash.

Kyle Lowry, Raptors,8.2K(DK)/9.2K(FD) :

Lowry has caught fire of late in his last three games his minutes, shot attempts, and rebounds have increased giving him two 50+DK and one 40+DK point performances. I’m going to ride the hot hand on this one it is that easy.

Cash Game NBA Breakdown 9.7, Mid Tier: Mid Tier will be from 5K to 8K.

Fred Van Vleet, Raptors 7.8K(DK)/7.9K(FD):

If you don’t think Lowry will continue what he has been doing, or if you want to pair them up really Van Vleet is your guy. Even with Kyle going crazy Fred is still getting his normal 5-6x production. He’s playing low to mid 40’s minutes and in seven of his last 10 he has thrown up at least 10 three point attempts.

Jaylen Brown, Celtics, 7.5K(DK)/7.7K(FD):

I’m just waiting on Brown to go off and now that Hayward is out of the picture I can see a 50DK point outing any day now. Everything is there, his minutes, shot attempts and rebounds are all in a position to where he just needs a few of them to start falling and it will be a huge boon for everyone who can get the night right.

Jerami Grant, Nuggets, 5.2K(DK)/5.0K(FD):

Even if Jokic goes I think he will be severely limited and end up not being out there much leaving it to guys like Grant and Paul Milsap to carry the load underneath. Grant played 40 minutes in game two and returned 6x value while going 1-9 from the field. If he takes his normal 8-10 shots and makes five or 6 of them with all else being equal you’re looking at a fantastic night for Grant.

Cash Game NBA Breakdown 9.7, Value Tier: Value Tier is below 5K.

Paul Millsap, Nuggets, 4.7K(DK)/4.9K(FD):

If I am off of Jokic than I almost need to be on Millsap. For tournaments I fear that he might be too chalky to play tonight, luckily for us we don’t worry about that in cash. He returned a beautiful 8x value on his salary in game one, followed by a meh outing. In game two however, he played more minutes, took more shots, and was overall more involved in the offense. He just didn’t get the ancillary stats that helped him in game one which is not the norm for him. He usually gives you a little in the assist and steals category every night. Not much, but it makes the difference when a guy is priced down.

Ivica Zubac, Clippers, 4.9K(DK)/5.0K(FD):

Steady Eddie right now, with a reasonable price and a reasonable floor he is the boring guy that you throw into your cash lineup to get you your 5-6x value and save a little money for your studs. I’m avoiding Jokic tonight because of the ankle issue and paying up elsewhere.

Jamychal Green, Clippers, 3.6K(DK)/3.9K(FD):

This one could very well be fools gold but we need to find value wherever we can. Clippers were playing from behind and in an attempt to figure something out Green got in the rotation and had his best outing since the shutdown. He played 26 minutes and gave them a double-double in the process. If Doc like the end result this may have earned him a little extra time on the court which presents us with a nice value at under 4K.
