May’s first two NBA playoff games are set for Monday. The Philadelphia 76ers and Boston Celtics will battle it out in an Eastern Conference matchup before the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns run it back with Game 2 of their second-round pairing. 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.
