Boom/Bust NBA Fantasy Projections | May 13
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Boom Candidates
Nikola Jokic vs. Timberwolves: $11,000/$10,800
31.8% DraftKings Boom/43.6% FanDuel Boom
Trying to end his MVP campaign with a bang, Jokic travels to Minnesota today. When he played this team last, he put up a 35 points, 15 rebounds and six assists. No matter who he faces, Jokic will get his. What makes this matchup so great is everyone can score against the Timberwolves (117.3 points per game allowed). This means there is a better opportunity for Jokic to rack up assists and possibly get a triple-double — he’s coming in with 29.63 points, 10.94 rebounds and 9.06 assists in the Awesemo NBA DFS projections today.
Gary Trent Jr. vs. Bulls: $6,000/$4,900
28.2% DraftKings Boom/55.0% FanDuel Boom
All of the Raptors gamers know and love are out except for Trent. This should be a great opportunity for Trent to put up as many shots as he wishes. He should play about 35 minutes, put up around 20 shots and anything else he can add to the box score outside of points will be gravy.

Chimezie Metu vs. Grizzlies: $4,100/$4,200
51.2% DraftKings Boom/60.1% FanDuel Boom
In Marvin Bagley’s absence last game, Metu was awarded the start. With Bagley doubtful for tonight, he should produce about the same. Metu was busy in his 29 minutes, putting up 11 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block. He has averaged about a fantasy point per minute, and Awesemo projects him for 27.5 minutes tonight.
NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates
Damian Lillard vs. Suns: $9,500/$9,700
66.9% DraftKings Bust/61.9% FanDuel Bust
On the second night of back-to-back road games, Lillard is facing off against the Suns, which has proven to be a tough matchup for point guards. To make matters worse, the Suns have plenty to fight for. Phoenix is 1.5 games behind the Jazz for the top overall seed, so do not expect them to play careless basketball. At a high price, all of these factors point to more ways Lillard will finish the night as a bust than ways he will hit value.
