NBA DFS: DraftKings Showdown breakdown for Wednesday's Heat-Celtics matchup

NBA DFS analyst Ameer Tyree breaks down his DraftKings Showdown strategy for Wednesday's one-game slate

By@its_ameericleUpdated: May 25, 2022 10:12PM UTC . 2 min read

The 2022 Eastern Conference Finals have been up and down. Neither the Miami Heat or Boston Celtics have won consecutive games in the series, and Game 5 is set for Wednesday at FTX Arena. The hosts will look to rebound from an embarrassing loss at TD Garden to avoid going down 3-2 in the series. Whether Jimmy Butler and company will get back on track with home court advantage remains to be seen. We've broken down a strategy for fantasy managers to attack DraftKings Showdown contests centered around the matchup 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. Ameer's top play for Tuesday's game was Luka Doncic and the Mavericks star came within one assist of recording a triple double. Now he's turned his attention to Wednesday's one-game slate.

One captain play Ameer loves: Al Horford at $11,400. "Horford's averaging a double-double with 11.7 points and 10 rebounds per contest in the series and will play a significant role whether Williams is out or limited. He's an ideal pivot from Tatum if you think the Heat's starters will bounce back in a big way back at home," Ameer says about the matchup.

Keep reading to find out who makes the cut on Wednesday!
