The NBA playoffs continue to roll Friday night, and we’re going to kick it off early, because the first game starts at 5:30 p.m. ET. That’s a bit weird, but ESPN had to have a triple-header, so the Pacers and their fans get the short end of the stick.
Let’s take a look at Friday from a DFS perspective.
1. Pascal Siakam is loving playing in Indiana
The trade for Pascal Siakam that the Pacers pulled off during the year is paying off in spades so far, as he has scored 36 and 37 real points. The fantasy scores have gone over 60 in both Games 1 and 2, and while that might be the best-case scenario, Siakam is still quite cheap for his production. He’s taken a total of 48 shots compared to just 17 shots for Tyrese Haliburton. Indiana has taken full advantage of Milwaukee being without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Siakam is tied for 10th in frontcourt touches so far in the playoffs. We could wind up getting a bunch of value from Milwaukee if Khris Middleton is out, so this game could be an important one for our builds.
