This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.
Tuesday brings the potential for two closeout games with the Rockets and Warriors both looking to move on with victories at home in their respective series. This could end up being the last night with two games on the schedule as a result, so let's try to make the most of it with a winning entry on FanDuel.
Guards
Donovan Mitchell, UTA at HOU ($8,900): Mitchell already has a significant role as the leader of the Jazz's offense, but he has even more ball-handling responsibilities in this series with Ricky Rubio (hamstring) sidelined. He's had an inconsistent four games, scoring at least 42.5 FanDuel points twice, but 28.1 FanDuel points or fewer in the other two contests. He's going to have a high usage rate again Tuesday, so it might be worth paying up for him based on his ceiling.
Rajon Rondo, NO at GS ($8,000): Rondo had his worst game of the series Sunday, scoring just 24.2 FanDuel points. He shot 2-for-10 from the field and had only six assists in what turned out to be a one-sided loss. He had been playing well in the first three games, scoring at least 39.1 FanDuel points in each contest. He still has the ability to provide value in multiple categories, so don't shy away from him because of one bad game.
Alec Burks, UTA at HOU ($4,000): The Jazz are getting thin at guard with Rubio still out and now Dante Exum (hamstring) also ruled out for Game 5. That should help open up more playing time for Burks, who logged only nine minutes in Game 4. He was productive in this series before that, scoring at least 19.3 FanDuel points in each of the first three games. At this cheap price, he could be worth the risk in tournament play.
Forwards
Draymond Green, GS vs. NO ($9,000): Green has provided steady all-around production in this series, scoring no fewer than 31.9 FanDuel points in any contest. His ability to defend and help facilitate the offense is a key reason why the Warriors are able to play with small lineups and cause significant matchup problems. Even when he's not scoring a ton, he still has a high floor in DFS.
Joe Ingles, UTA at HOU ($6,300): Ingles rebounded from a bad performance in Game 3 to score 31.6 FanDuel points Sunday. He's scored at least 30.6 FanDuel points in three of the four games in this series and continues to see extensive playing time. At this reasonable price, he can provide plenty of value while also not overtaxing your budget.
Andre Iguodala, GS vs. NO ($4,900): The Warriors moved Iguodala to bench for Game 3 and lost, so they decided to go small and insert him back into the starting five Sunday. He didn't disappoint, scoring 35.4 FanDuel points. Considering the Warriors won in deciding fashion, it would seem likely that he will start again Tuesday. He is certainly not one of their main offensive weapons, but Iguodala can produce enough in other areas to be worth considering for your entry.
Centers
Clint Capela, HOU vs. UTA ($9,400):Rudy Gobert hasn't been able to slow down Capela in this series, who has scored at least 36.9 FanDuel points in each game. Not only does Capela have three double-doubles, but he also has six steals and 13 blocks overall. He's the most expensive option at center for good reason Tuesday as he likely has the highest upside of the group.
Rudy Gobert, UTA at HOU ($7,800): Outside of Capela and Gobert, there really isn't anyone you should consider playing at center. Gobert has had problems with Capela, but has still been productive, scoring at least 30.8 FanDuel points in three of four games. He's still a nightly double-double threat who can block a ton of shots, making him the player to use if you want to save some money at center.
