A Fantasy Basketball Podcast presented by Fanball
The NBA daily fantasy season is fading fast with both Conference Finals series already underway, so be sure to head over to the Fanball lobby and score a little cash before it's too late! The guys will discuss whether LeBron can bounce back from a dreadful game 1, if Scary Terry can overcome his recent cold streak, and if Tristan Thompson can come through as a strong value play. On the other side of the bracket we talk about how the Hampton five will impact Clint Capela's playing time, whether Draymond's 11k price tag is too steep, and debate whether Steph Curry is due to breakout.
The first round is in the books, but there's still plenty of time left to win some cash on Fanball. Whitlock and the Vaughn were back in the studio to discuss the return of Steph Curry, whether LeBron can keep up his torrid playoff pace, and a slew of value plays in the Toronto - Cleveland series. The guys spend time on every single matchup, identifying the studs, values, and fades you'll need to get off to a strong start in round 2.
The San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat, and Oklahoma City Thunder will all be facing elimination within the next two days, and Whitlock and the Vaughn are here to dish out fantasy basketball recommendations for each and every contest. Don't worry, we've got love for the three matchups locked at 2-2 as well, giving studs, value plays and fades that will help decide the outcome in Boston, Cleveland, and Toronto.

The NBA playoffs are underway and Whitlock and the Vaughn are here to break it all down from a fantasy perspective. Can Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis keep is going in game 2? Can LeBron James and the Cavaliers bounce back in "must win game?"
