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.
