NBA DFS picks for today, Thursday, May 16: NBA Playoffs Western Conference semifinals
Nikola Jokic 50.5 points + rebounds + assists: HIGHER
The NBA MVP played well in the first two games of the series but flipped a switch in the last three, which Denver won. The most impressive performance was in Game 5 when Jokic had 40 points, 13 assists, seven rebounds and a staggering zero turnovers. The Nuggets big man may be the only player on the planet capable of putting up that type of stat line. With a chance to finish the series and get some extra rest, expect Jokic to go for another monster night with 30-plus points and threaten a triple-double.
Anthony Edwards 29.5 points: HIGHER
The Timberwolves' young superstar did not have a very good Game 5 performance, but that should lead to a big Game 6. When Edwards has had a subpar game this postseason, he has followed it up with a huge game in his next opportunity. When Edwards had 15 points in Game 2 of the first round, he followed it up with 36 points, and after 19 points in Game 3 of this series, he scored 44 in his next game.
Jamal Murray 19.5 points: LOWER
Jamal Murray has not looked like himself for much of this series, and the calf strain he has been battling has left him questionable tonight. He will likely play, but he has only scored more than 19.5 points once all series and that trend could continue tonight with Jokic playing the way he is.
