Lineup and Advice

LeBron could potentially give you more than a combination of Horford and Tatum. It’s a lot to spend on one player and it could mean having a dead roster spot if you want another high salary guy. But I’d be shocked if he doesn’t have 70-plus fantasy points. If he doesn’t it means Cleveland role players played extremely well (and your team will be littered with them if you take LeBron and don’t have a dead spot) or the Cavs are down 3-0. There’s still more guaranteed value on Boston. You’re either trusting LeBron and the “role players play better at home” theory or you’re sticking with Stevens and company. I’m trusting LeBron.
