FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Helper: Wednesday 6/16/21

Our projections update up until tip-off to reflect current news and we also have player news updates.We'll also be coming at you with this primer every day, breaking down a few of the day's top plays at each position.Please note: When I'm referencing a player's value figure, it is the number of fantasy points scored for every $1,000 in salary. Typically, a value figure of 5.0 (meaning, 5.0 FanDuel points for every $1,000 in salary) is the minimum baseline we'll be targeting.Let's take a look at who you should target on tonight's two-game playoff slate, which locks at 7:30 PM Eastern.All injury updates are via the NBA's official injury report or numberFire's player news. In three of his last five games, Simmons has dropped 44.9, 46.8, and 52.5 FanDuel points, and he only needs 42.5 to accrue five-times values tonight (or 5.0 fantasy points for every $1,000 in salary). The veteran has put up more than 30 fantasy points in three of his last five games, and like all of the other Clippers' players, he should get a bump from Kawhi's absence.Bojan Bogdanovic ($5,700) - numberFire's models project Bogdanovic to be the top value play on what is likely the thinnest position on the slate.
