Today's bubble finale is an interesting one for NBA DFS purposes. We've got an early start with Denver / Toronto at 1:30 plus a Miami vs. Indiana game that is solely for who gets the #4 or #5 seed. That might matter if playing on your own court, but when everybody is in Orlando?

The Clippers have nothing to play for today in their game against OKC, who could get also clinch the 4 seed with a win - but once again...does it matter? Philadelphia is locked into the 6 seed in their late game with Houston. The Rockets will play OKC in the first round, win or lose.

Today is an especially good day to fire up the LineStar Usage Matrix. Trying to break down this slate without it is like talking to Liam Neeson on the phone. "Good Luck."

Guards

Norman Powell DK $5.6k | FD $5k

Norman Powell was great in the Raptors game that nobody else played in and that's where he should find himself today. In Monday's game that Fred VanVleet, Kyle Lowry, and Serge Ibaka all sat out of, Powell went for 21 points and 8 rebounds en route to 45 fp. His production dropped to 23 fp the next game but Lowry and VanVleet were back. Toronto is set as the 2 seed in the East, so you'd think they rest those integral parts of their playoff hopes...right?

Tyler Herro DK $5.7k | FD $5.3k

It's time for the kid to get his. With nothing to play for, Miami is resting Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Goran Dragic this afternoon against Indiana. Tyler Herro might have had value anyway, after he has gone for 46+ fp in two of the last three. Herro had 17/5 vs. Indiana on Monday (29fp) and that was with all those players on the court.

Alec Burks DK $5k | FD $4.2k

Alec Burks has great upside for the price tonight...if he plays. Burks sat out the last game vs. Toronto with a sore foot and is questionable vs. Houston. Prior to that though, he had 17, 14, and 15 field goal attempts with a 29-35 fp range. The matchup vs. the Rocket's pace is nice, even if Houston rests their big guns.

Forwards

Darius Bazley $5.4k | FD $5.2k

He's likely to be a heavy chalk play today but it's hard to argue with the numbers OKC's Darius Bazley is putting up. The rookie is coming into his own in the bubble, with back to back 44+ fp games that includes an average of 15 field goal attempts and 9.5 rebounds. Bazley has three straight 21+ real point games in the bubble and meets a Clippers team with nothing to play for, locked into the 2 seed.

Jerami Grant $5.5k | FD $4.8k

I think you have to take Jerami Grant at under $5k on FD here. He shoots (11+ field goal in four straight) which should only increase with Denver locked into the 3 seed.

Center

Ivica Zubac DK $6k | FD $5.6k

It's a very volatile day for the center position and Ivica Zubac might just be the most consistent option on the slate. The Clippers' big man is, at the very least, tearing up the boards with 12+ in five straight games. He's got three tilts of over 15 real points during that span as well. L.A. doesn't have anything to play for, but Zubac hasn't broken 25 minutes during the bubble regardless. He gets his in a hurry.
