As the NBA playoffs continue, DFS players are looking for the best picks to fill out their lineups. SportsLine DFS pro Mike McClure has analyzed the matchups and players to provide optimal picks for May 6th.

Devin Booker Poised for Big Game Without Chris Paul

The Phoenix Suns are down 0-2 in their series against the Lakers, but Devin Booker has been a bright spot for the team. The shooting guard has been on fire, shooting 57.8% from the floor over his last six playoff games. With Chris Paul sidelined due to injury, Booker will have even more opportunities to contribute. Look for him to get plenty of playing time on Friday night and continue his hot streak.

Marcus Smart a Consistent Performer for Celtics

The Boston Celtics are facing elimination in their series against the Brooklyn Nets, but Marcus Smart has been a consistent performer for the team in the playoffs. Despite missing the final three games of the regular season, Smart has scored in double figures in all eight playoff games, including two 20-point performances in the first round against Atlanta. Smart is not expected to lead the offense, but he will have opportunities on the perimeter against the pressure that the 76ers will put on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Sleepers to Consider

In addition to the top picks, McClure is also targeting a few sleepers who could provide value for DFS players on May 6th. One player to watch is Jaxson Hayes of the New Orleans Pelicans. The center has been a consistent contributor off the bench, scoring at least 10 points in five of his last six games. Another sleeper to consider is Alec Burks of the New York Knicks. The guard has been on a hot streak, scoring 27 and 21 points in his last two games.

Final Thoughts

As the playoffs continue, DFS players need to be strategic in their picks to stay ahead of the competition. With injuries and matchups playing a big role, it’s important to consider all the factors when building a lineup. By following McClure’s optimal lineup strategy and considering some sleepers, players can increase their chances of winning big on May 6th.
