Boom/Bust NBA Fantasy Projections | March 28
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Boom Candidates
Nikola Jokic vs. Hawks: $10,400/$11,300
20.8% DraftKings Boom/17.7% FanDuel Boom
While Jokic has a high price, he has been terrific, putting up four big performances in his last five games. He has scored 28-plus points in four of his last five games and five of his last seven. Along with this, Jokic has totaled at least nine assists in five of his last six and 10 rebounds in six of his last seven games. He is firmly in triple-double territory, and he could be worth paying up for today.
Montrezl Harrell vs. Magic: $7,400/$7,200
22.3% DraftKings Boom/39.0% FanDuel Boom
Without both LeBron James and Anthony Davis, other Lakers have needed to step up. Harrell is one of those players. He has scored 20 points in four of his past five games. He also has 10 rebounds in four of his past six. He faces a Magic team that got much weaker in the frontcourt before the trade deadline, shipping out Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon and Al-Farouq Aminu. Harrell should be able to take advantage of this mismatch and put up a nice NBA fantasy day.

Kyle Lowry vs. Blazers: $7,500/$6,600
15.2% DraftKings Boom/35.1% FanDuel Boom
The Trail Blazers already offer up big NBA fantasy points to opponents’ backcourts. Portland could be even weaker tonight with Damian Lillard listed as questionable. This opens the door for Lowry to have a big game. His price has continued to go down, but Lowry’s minutes have stayed in the mid-to-high 30’s. Lowry had a 24-point double-double against them this season, and he was one rebound shy of having an 18-point double-double in the second matchup. With little resistance on the defensive end, he has a high ceiling.
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates
Enes Kanter vs. Raptors: $6,700/$6,800
92.7% DraftKings Bust/85.7% FanDuel Bust
It was a nice run that Kanter had. However, Jusuf Nurkic has made his return to the Portland lineup. Nurkic played 18 minutes last game, and that is expected to increases slightly today. While Kanter had a solid 15-point, 15-rebound double-double, his role will be continuing in to decrease. His price is also higher due to the last big performance. This combination makes Kanter a dangerous play and a risk not worth playing.
