LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (10,100): LeBron came through for the Cavs again in Game 3 totaling 43.1 fantasy points on 24 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. Unfortunately, he didn’t get the help he needed to get the Cavs a win, so now they’ll have to take Game 4 to avoid a 2-2 tie with Toronto. Look for LeBron to understand the importance of this game and be extremely aggressive especially early. Since I think that Game 4 should be pretty competitive, look for LeBron to post another big number like the 56.7 fantasy points he put up in Game 2.∗∗∗∗

Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (9,800): Durant’s scoring was up in Game 2, but he didn’t produce hardly any non-scoring stats and also had eight turnovers. He was limited to just 31.7 fantasy points despite his 29 points after totaling 45.5 fantasy points in Game 1 while scoring 26 points. Durant played 11 fewer minutes in Game 2 which was a result of the game getting away from OKC late, but since he’ll be back at home in OKC for Game 3 on Sunday, I think he’ll have a monster game in a matchup he usually thrives in against the Warriors. ∗∗∗
