NBA DFS: Jimmy Butler could return to relevance in Monday's Game 5 elimination contest
The Denver Nuggets are one win away from being crowned NBA champs for the first time in franchise history. They boast a 3-1 lead against the Miami Heat ahead of Game 5 on Monday at Ball Arena and momentum is in their favor. Can they get the job done against the shorthanded visitors? We'll break down the DFS outlook ahead of the matchups 8:30 p.m. tip-off here.
Ameer Tyree got his start in NBA DFS over four years ago. The former DraftKings Nation betting and fantasy writer spent over a year and a half breaking down basketball slates to build optimal lineups there. Now he's turned his attention to Friday's one-game NBA Finals slate.
One captain option Ameer loves: Jimmy Butler at $17,700. "Butler finally outperformed Jamal Murray for the first time in this series in Game 4 by pouring in 25 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in 45 minutes. The Heat star is now cheaper than the Nuggets point guard and could very well play all 48 minutes on Monday. Butler's long been known to perform well under pressure," Ameer says about the matchup.
