NBA Top Plays 5/13 - Count Down to Playoffs

May 13, 2021

We are back, for another version of the Daily Dribble written by LineStarTyler.

Today's Slate

We have a 9 game slate on tap tonight. We are coming down to the last few games of the season and very few teams have anything to play for, due to that be careful with your bankrolls. These slates are complete crapshoots.

Tonight's Point Guard /Shooting Guard Notables

Malachi Flynn DK $5.7 k | FD $5.5 k

Flynn has been a regular here lately due to Toronto not playing its starters. Once again all their starters are out. Flynn will play solid minutes and he produces on both sides of the court. A 40 point ceiling is good with me at his price tag.

Trae Young DK $9.1k | FD $8.6 k

He is questionable so make sure he plays before you throw him in the lineup. ATL needs to win to lock up the 4 seed and with that Young has been playing big minutes. I expect that to continue tonight. I love his price tag on both sites but especially on FD.

Jalen Harris DK $3.8k | FD $4k

He has played 25 and 26 minutes in the last two games, which should continue today. He has been coming off the bench though so his minutes may not be as secure however, this will keep ownership down on him a little. He has produced at a .92fp/min pace so he does have a decent ceiling if he gets hot and gets some extra run.

Tonight's SF / PF Notables

Jimmy Butler DK $8.8k | FD $9.3k

Playoff jimmy is in full force here. He is questionable due to getting poked in the eye so monitor him. If he doesn't play then Tyler Herro or Goran Dragic are great plays. Jimmy B has been terrific all season and he's even better when it comes playoff time. He is pricy but he does everything for his team and has a 60pt ceiling.

Aaron Gordon DK $5.1k | FD $3.9k

JaMychal Green DK $3.6k | FD $3.7k

FD is drunk with that pricing on Aaron Gordon. With no MPJ, Gordon will take a bigger slice of the offensive pie.

Green will also pick up some added minutes and could be a sneaky play to a chalky Gordon.

Domantis Sabonis DK $10.7k | FD $10.5k

Without Brogdon and Turner Sabonis has been unstoppable. The Pacers have a chance to move into the 8 seed if they keep winning. Sabonis will play all the minutes he can handle once again. 7 straight perfect lineups... let's make it 8.

Tonight's Center Position Notables

Freddie Gillespie DK $3.6k | FD $3.7k

Toronto has all the value right now. I like both Centers for Toronto tonight, but Birch is a little pricey. Gillespie is also available at PF on FD.

Nikola Vucevic DK $10.2k | FD $9.7k

With playing so much of TOR I like to add a little correlation with a Chicago player. Vucevic is the most interesting piece for me from Chicago. If this game stays close then having both sides of this game will be a must-have since there is so much value on TOR.

My Strategy

Flynn, Butler, and Young are my core today. Then I will be sprinkling in value from TOR and Jamychal Green. I will also be keeping my eyes out to see if Ayton sits for some additional value from PHX, as Kaminsky or Saric could look like good options too.

GOOD LUCK!
