Boom/Bust NBA Fantasy Projections | May 7

NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Boom Candidates

Christian Wood vs. Bucks: $9,000/$8,700

19.5% DraftKings Boom/32.9% FanDuel Boom

Wood has a bit of a revenge game against Milwaukee, one of his former teams that doubted his abilities. He finally was able to make his first start against them a little over a week ago, which resulted in a 31-point outing. He should be able to dominate the paint again today and have a similar type of success. With Kevin Porter Jr. and John Wall out, Wood should also dominate the usage. According to the Awesemo NBA DFS projections, he is slated for more than 25 minutes and 46.44 fantasy points. Wood has also continued to play big minutes in blowouts, which makes him relatively safe as well.

Kenyon Martin Jr. vs. Bucks: $4,700/$5,600

54.9% DraftKings Boom/50.5% FanDuel Boom

Both Jae’Sean Tate and Kelly Olynyk are questionable for the Rockets tonight. Regardless, Martin should play plenty of minutes, especially with Porter already ruled out. If either are of the other players are out, he could be in for a great night. He is coming off a 44-minute night where he finished with a 23-point double-double, which also included six assists. Martin could end up being among the top values of the night.

Robert Williams vs. Bulls: $5,900/$5,400

25.4% DraftKings Boom/54.4% FanDuel Boom

This is Williams’ fifth game back from injury, and there’s a chance that we could see his minutes increase slightly, back to where he was prior to the injury. Even at his current projection of 24.5 minutes, his average fantasy points puts him at hitting value with ease. If he is a bit more active and finishes with a double-double, Williams could easily be a boom play and among the best values at center today. Williams rates out at as top-10 value play in the Awesemo NBA DFS projections.

NBA DraftKings + FanDuel Bust Candidates

Buddy Hield vs. Kings: $8,000/$7,800

68.9% DraftKings Bust/57.8% FanDuel Bust

Hield has been a volatile NBA fantasy play for his entire career. With his price up this high, it makes him an even greater risk. On top of that, there is a chance De’Aaron Fox and/or Harrison Barnes comes back tonight. With this being one of the last games of the night, it is clearly a big risk to put Hield in main-slate lineups.
