LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (10,000): While his fantasy owners weren’t thrilled, it’s a great sign for the Cavs that LeBron was their third leading scorer and they still pick up the win.  James did still have a good all around game, though, with 22 points, 11 assists, six boards, two blocks, and two steals to get to 55 fantasy points. He didn’t seem to be in full “playoff-beast” mode, and still finished with a good fantasy point total meaning he could step up even bigger tonight if he takes on more of the scoring load.∗∗∗∗

Luol Deng-Miami Heat (5,800): Deng led the Heat to their Game One rout of the Hornets with 31 points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes for 44.75 fantasy points. He has been huge coming down the stretch for Miami and has settled in nicely as a stretch-four since the team acquired Joe Johnson and slid Deng to PF with Chris Bosh out.  Deng finished the season on a nice roll posting at least 30 fantasy points in five of his last nine regular season games, and I think he’ll be over that number again tonight against a Hornets team that doesn’t have a good matchup for him in the front court. ∗∗∗∗

Marcus Morris-Detroit Pistons (5,300): Morris has played well against Cleveland all season and continued his good performance with a solid Game One. He had 20 points and five assists in his whopping 40 minutes of playing time and totaled 33 fantasy points. He almost always plays big minutes for Detroit and will get plenty of time on the floor tonight which should result in another 25+ fantasy points with the upside to get to 30 or 40 if his shot is falling again. ∗∗∗∗
