Underdog Fantasy NBA Daily Pick ‘Em Plays – May 24
Luka Doncic – Higher than 28.5 Points
Big-game Luka has been in full force the last few games and I see no reason to expect that to stop. He’s averaging 31.0 points per game over the last three games. The other facet that gets me on this projection is the uptick in attempts – particularly three-point attempts. He averaged just 7.7 three-point attempts over the last series, but is averaging 9.0 over the last three games.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker – Lower than 5.5 Points
The minutes reduction for Alexander-Walker has been alarming and makes me comfortable looking at a ‘Lower than’ for this one. During the first nine games of these playoffs, he played more than 30 minutes five times. His low in that span was 23 minutes. However, over the last three, he has yet to crack 17 minutes. The result has been a 3.7 points per game average in that span, and that’s with 9 points in one of them.
Dereck Lively II – Higher than 7.0 Rebounds
Speaking of a last three games that inspires confidence, Dereck Lively II has been all over the glass these last three games. On the season, he averaged just 6.9 rebounds per game, but is averaging 12.0 per game over the last three contests. While Minnesota was one of the better teams at deterring opponents’ rebounds over the regular season, it didn’t stop him from getting 11 in game one. I can’t imagine that he falls off that much here in game two.
