NBA DFS Picks: Value + Stud for NBA Finals Game 4 | Oct. 6

Value NBA DFS Pick: Dwight Howard

DraftKings $3,800, FanDuel $8,000

We have a series. After it looked like the Lakers were going to blow through the Heat in four games, Miami won Game 3. In addition to the win, it looks like Bam Adebayo is trending towards playing tonight. Unfortunately, I don’t have many injury updates at the time I am writing this. Adebayo is currently questionable, and Goran Dragic is listed as doubtful. I am assuming that Adebayo will play and Dragic will sit for the purposes of this article.

If Adebayo sits, then Kelly Olynyk becomes the obvious value play of the night on DraftKings. Oddly, they haven’t priced him up despite massive games in the two games that Adebayo missed. If Adebayo returns, Olynyk loses most, if not all, of his playing time. This could also play an impact on the Lakers’ rotations. To matchup against Adebayo, Los Angeles could play Dwight Howard a bit more. He isn’t the best player to guard a perimeter threat like Olynyk, and his defense makes more sense going up against Adebayo in the post.

Editors Note:

Dwight Howard is shaping up to be a great Game 4 NBA Finals value play. His over/under for points is 5.5 for tonight’s game. The new Awesemo OddsShopper tool searches all the big betting sites and finds the best price for your bet. Click here to start shopping!

Stud NBA DFS Pick: Bam Adebayo

DraftKings $9,400, FanDuel $13,000

As long as Adebayo plays and isn’t restricted, I think he makes for a really strong GPP play. After an incredible game on Sunday, it stands to reason that Jimmy Butler will carry massive ownership. He’s a fine play, and I am not advocating for a total fade from him. With that said, it makes sense to make lineups pivoting to Adebayo. They are priced around the same on both sites, and Adebayo was the better fantasy producer throughout the playoffs when both of the Miami stars were healthy. There is a bit of risk here due to the injury, but as long as Adebayo isn’t restricted, I expect a good fantasy outing.

Contrarian NBA DFS Pick: Kendrick Nunn

DraftKings $4,200, FanDuel $10,000

After a couple of subpar outings in a row, I think we could see a lot of people jump off the Nunn bandwagon. He crushed with no ownership in the first game of the series when Dragic first got hurt and struggled with fouls since. Nunn only played 20 minutes last game, but it was a result of him picking up five fouls. In Game 2, he played 29 minutes but also had four fouls that night. Nunn could have played over 30 minutes if not for foul woes. As long as Dragic remains out and Nunn keeps his hands to himself, I think we might see him approach 30 minutes today. I don’t think another cheap option on this slate carries that kind of playing time upside.
