Stoweby’s NBA Breakdown For 5.10

229

We have had ourselves a wild couple of weeks but we have seen a lot of success on the tail end of this NBA season. It is without a doubt a roller coaster and not for the faint of heart. But fear not, we have everything you need to help you find success no matter the scenario including our NBA Projection Model and Cheat Sheet. Additionally, you cannot set and forget your lineups at the end of the season so be sure that you stay in our discord so that you can follow the news live as it breaks so you always know the best value pivots to give you the edge to take down your contests. Let us not waste any more time and get into Stoweby’s NBA Breakdown For 5.10. 

As per our trend these last several slates the Rockets still present an interesting target but right now I can’t tell you who’s in or out this early, but they are playing the TrailBlazers so make sure you see what the rotation is going to look like and apply your value appropriately.

Stoweby’s NBA Breakdown For 5.10

Point Guard:

Russell Westbrook, Wizards, $11,000:

If you need me to explain this one please consider logging off of DraftKings until the NBA season is over.

Trae Young, Hawks, $9,300: 

Keeping it simple here. High pace, no defense, and both teams still have something to play for. Hawks could still climb to the 4th seed in the east and the Wizards have the Pacers and Bulls hot on their heels trying to play spoiler. The game totals have been insane for anyone playing the Wizards. 265, 260, 269, 292, and 249 points in the last five and if my memory serves me correctly all were in regulation, no overtime. 

Steph Curry, Warriors, $10,500:

I don’t have a great gauge on ownership yet but I think this Utah/Golden State game is an interesting GPP pivot. You get a little late night hammer action in a 230 point total game with the best scorer in the league while everyone will be playing the Wizards/Hawks stack. I rarely target the Jazz but in this scenario with Curry trying to lock down the 8 seed we have high leverage in the making. 

Shooting Guard:

Raul Neto, Wizards, $4,500:

With no Beal I’m going under the assumption that Neto will get the start next to Westbrook and Russ is like Oprah with the assists right now (you get a bucket, and you get a bucket! sorry). There are a couple of other guys on the Wizards I like but I Neto is the only one I’m fairly confident will be in the starting rotation this early. 

Eric Bledsoe, Pelicans, $5,900:

I really waffled on this one. Bledsoe has a knack for disappointing you in situations where he should shine. I’m taking some liberties here so be ready to run away from this one. Ingram and Hart have Q-tags and Nickeil Alexander Walker is on the second leg of a back-to-back and just came back from an ankle injury. In this very specific scenario with Zion out and if Hart, NAW, and Ingram all sit out Bledsoe sees a 4.4% usage increase and as we saw last night, he has 50 DK point upside. If the stars do not align here, I would recommend staying away. 

Also Consider:

Lonnie Walker IV: $4,200

Daquan Jeffries: $4,400

Small Forward:

Bojan Bogdanovic, Jazz, $6,600: (BOJAN= JAZZ, BOGDAN=HAWKS)

Going back to the well. Last week I recommended Bojan and if you listened you got him at sub 3% ownership as he took 22 shots and went off for 47 DK points. He always seems to be an afterthought and if you’re telling me, I can get guy who gets an almost 6% usage increase at 5-ish percent against a Warriors team that is fighting for an 8 seed I think it is a no brainer.  

I need a little more info when it comes to small forward so I’m just sticking with Bojan for the moment. Hop in discord, watch the stream, and check the model before tip for the value here.

Power Forward:

Domantas Sabonis, Pacers, $10,600:

I need to put a little disclaimer here. The Pacers are currently the 10 seed so it is clear that they have plenty to play for. The Cavs however…..do not. They have been getting the snot beat out of them by 20, 30, 40 points night in and night out. I have the utmost confidence in Sabonis but we may only get three quarters of him. 

Rui Hachimura, Wizards, $4,900:

Without Beal on the court, Rui slides into the teams’ number two option with a 5.3% usage increase at just under 24% and I would really expect that to be a bit higher tonight. Rui has been dealing with nagging injuries all year and is just now getting back to a full allotment of minutes and with the torrid scoring pace the Wizards have been on lately I do not see a scenario where Rui does not take at least 18 shots tonight. 

Also Consider:

KJ Martin Jr: $6,200

Center:

Kelly Olynyk, Rockets, $8,100:

Like I said above I am waiting on Houston news for value but I made an error the other night and I do not want to make it again. We knew Houston had to dress eight guys to play and while Kelly was one of them, I really thought he was “available” and not available until it was too late and he went off. My bust. I know he is $8,100 and that may seem steep but this isn’t a fluke. He really is a good player and always has been. He has just been buried on the Heat depth chart behind guys like Bam and Jimmy. His price just reflects his role and ability now. If the Rockets run the bare minimum rotation again and Kelly is starting, he deserves a look tonight. 

Clint Capella, Hawks, $8,400:

It’s going to be tough but I’m going to try and run at least one full blown game stack with this Hawks/Wizards game. The Wizards have zero interior defense so Capela is in there for me. If you tell me that I can get 36 minutes from Clint tonight I’ll tell you that he gives you no less than 50 DK points. 

 Also Consider:

Jaxon Hayes: $4,500
