February 10, 2025 7:30 pm EDT
Tthe NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.
Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules
You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.
Here are my Draftkings picks for tomorrow afternoon’s Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics matchup.
Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Tyler Herro, Point Guard, Miami Heat $9,600
Miami Heat point guard Tyler Herro has certainly been a standout performer for the Miami Heat this season. Having stated that, how the Miami guard performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s examine Herro’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 49 games that Tyler Herro has played for the Miami Heat in the 2024 NBA regular season, Herro has averaged a massive 41.2 Draftkings points a game.
More recently, in the Miami Heat’s 108-101 win over the Philadelphia 76ers four days ago, Herro played rather well. Let me be more specific. In the Heat’s victory over the 76ers, Miami guard Tyler Herro compiled a whopping 52.3 Draftkings points.
As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this one game DFS slate.
In my view, Tyler Herro is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NBA regular season game. With that said, I am rolling with Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA DFS Showdown contest.
Flex Plays
Jaylen Brown, Forward, Boston Celtics $9,000
Forward Jaylen Brown has undoubtedly been a standout performer for the Boston Celtics this season. Let’s take a look at Brown’s statistical data from the 2024 NBA regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.
In 46 games that forward Jaylen Brown has played for the Boston Celtics in the 2024 NBA regular season, Brown is averaging a robust 22.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks a game.
