Lineup and Advice

You can build around Giannis Antetokounmpo or Joel Embiid and feel comfortable with the production you’ll be getting. Depending on who you grab, getting the guys around the player you don’t pick is a good move. I’m high on Sixers and Warriors as I’m not sure either game will be all that competitive. Both teams are at home and have shown flashes of dominance all series. Miami and San Antonio will put up a fight, but they don’t have enough firepower to keep up. It’s been guard dominated the past couple of nights, but forwards are in demand on Tuesday. And there are plenty of value guards to fill out your roster.

Explanation of the stars after each pick: Each one of my picks is ranked on a scale of one to five stars. Picks that I give five stars (∗∗∗∗∗) are players that you almost have to own and I have no reservations about owning at their price. Players that get four stars (∗∗∗∗) are players that I think are strong picks to build your roster around. Three-star players (∗∗∗) are middle-of-the-road solid picks who are fairly reliable to produce a good game. Picks receiving two stars (∗∗) are high-risk, high-reward players who do offer enough upside to be in my picks, but also have a significant risk factor that makes them dangerous. One star (∗) players are picks that are the best option around that price point, but who I don’t think are great options. I would take any one-star player over any option not in my picks, but they aren’t picks to build your roster around.
