Phoenix Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks
April 1, 2025 7:30 pm EDT
The NBA presents a regular season matchup featuring the Phoenix Suns and the Milwaukee Bucks. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.
Before we dive into the Phoenix Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks game let’s review the rules for the 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 this evening’s Phoenix Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks matchup.
Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Devin Booker, Guard, Phoenix Suns $9,600
Talented guard Devin Booker has been an essential part of the Phoenix Suns starting lineup this season. To evaluate his performance from a statistical standpoint, let’s examine the veteran guard’s relevant game data from the 2024 NBA regular season.
In the 69 games that guard Devin Booker has played for the Phoenix Suns in the 2024 NBA regular season, Booker has averaged a robust 25.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.1 steals a game.
Looking closer at the data just presented, in the 69 games that guard Devin Booker has played for the Phoenix Suns in the 2024 NBA regular season, Booker has compiled a 45.7% field goal percentage, a 33.9% three-point percentage and an 89.4% free throw percentage.
These two teams met earlier this season. How did Kevin Durant play in game? Who prevailed? In the Phoenix Suns 108-106 win over the Milwaukee Bucks seven days ago, Suns guard Devin Booker player rather well. More specifically, Booker tallied 19 points, seven rebounds and 12 assists in the Phoenix Suns victory over the Bucks.
What did we learn from the data just presented? Clearly, Devin Booker can post a high number of DFS points on any given night. I fully expect that trend to continue in tomorrow night’s matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks.
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.
In my opinion, Devin Booker is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NBA regular season game. With that said, I am rolling with Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.
Flex Plays
Ryan Dunn, Forward, Phoenix Suns $5,400
In addition to guard Devin Booker, forward Ryan Dunn has been a key contributor for the Phoenix Sun this season.
In the 67 games that forward Ryan Dunn has played for the Phoenix Suns in the 2024 NBA regular season, Dunn is averaging a respectable 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.6 blocks and 0.5 steals a game.
