Two more teams will face elimination on Thursday after neither of Wednesday's matchups ended in decisive finishing blows. The Philadelphia 76ers will return home to face the Boston Celtics before the Denver Nuggets look to close out the Phoenix Suns on the road. Looking for the best DFS choices on DraftKings at varying price points? We've got you covered with some quality stud, mid-tier, and value targets.

Ameer Tyree got his start in NBA DFS over four years ago. The former DraftKings Nation betting and fantasy writer spent more than a year and a half breaking down basketball slates to build optimal lineups there. Now he's turned his attention to three plays in Thursday's two-game slate.

One player Ameer loves: Jayson Tatum at $9,800. "The Celtics have their backs against the wall and will need to depend on Tatum to keep their title hopes alive. The swingman has generated more than 60 DraftKings points three times in five games, and his consistent shot volume will make him extremely hard to pass on in an elimination game," Ameer says about the matchup.
