Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Wednesday 4/15/15
When the season started, Michael Beasley was in China playing for the Shanghai Sharks. The former number-two overall pick in the 2008 draft eventually resigned with his former squad -- the Miami Heat -- and ultimately played a critical role down the stretch as Miami dealt with injury after injury. Although the Heat were unable to earn a playoff berth, Beasley needed to close the season strong in an attempt to secure a NBA contract for next season and boy did he ever. The Heat big man absolutely dominated the 76ers en route to a ridiculous 34-point, 11-rebound, 8-assist, 2-steal, 2-block performance in the final game of the season.
Beasley wasn't the only players to finish the season on a high note. Timberwolves rookie Zach LaVine continued his hot streak to end the season, scoring 19 points with 13 dimes, 5 boards, 3 steals and a block. LaVine was one of the few bright spots for a Minnesota squad who got smashed by Russell Westbrook, Enes Kanter and the Thunder.
Speaking of Westbrook and Kanter, both looked spectacular last night as Oklahoma City did their best to try to earn the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, the Thunder were eliminated from contention when the Pelicans defeated the Spurs, but Westbrook and Kanter certainly did their part. The two Thunder stars combined for a ridiculous 62 points, 23 rebounds and 9 assists in what ended up being their last outing of the season.
