Advice

The MVP is of the utmost importance. Obviously, you don’t want to waste it on a high value guy. You want someone who is going to get guaranteed points and guaranteed big points at that.

Given how the Celtics have played at home in the postseason, you should consider grabbing more Boston players than Philadelphia players. Some of Boston’s value does hinge on the status of Jaylen Brown. If he’s back in the starting lineup and off a minutes restriction, it lessens the value of Jayson Tatum and Marcus Morris. My example lineup assumes Brown’s status remains unchanged.
