All four of the teams in Tuesday's two-game NBA slate are looking to break 2-2 deadlocks in the second round. The Boston Celtics will face the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden before the Denver Nuggets host the piping hot Phoenix Suns to end the night. 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 Tuesday's two-game slate.

One player Ameer loves: Nikola Jokic at $11,200. "You can't make a safer play than Jokic on Tuesday. The Nuggets big man is fresh off a 53-point outburst from Game 3 of his second-round series against the Suns and is nearly averaging a triple-double against Phoenix through four meetings this postseason. The two-time MVP has posted 36.5 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 9.5 assists per game against Denver's Western Conference rivals," Ameer says about the matchup.
