Cavaliers-Celtics (Series Tied 3-3)

With only one game on the schedule, your top DraftKings option is Showdown. If you’re unfamiliar with Showdown, it’s a one game league where you have six spots, positions don’t matter, salaries are inflated from your typical leagues, and you have to select at least one player from each team.

So, this series has been pretty straightforward. The home team keeps winning and winning by a lot. Boston is undefeated at home in the playoffs as well.

There are no questions about LeBron James ($20,000). He’s going to do all he can to carry his team. Is he worth the price? I believe there is more value on Boston based on how they’ve looked at home.

Al Horford ($11,700) is going to be better at home. He’s been great in Boston this postseason and this is his moment. He’s the leader and on most nights the best player. This is a good chance to buy low on him.

That said, the Boston Big 3 have all had their moments in this series. I’ve been riding Jaylen Brown ($12,300) all series and it’s worked more often than not. Terry Rozier ($12,700) has the hot hand, but I’m seeing more value in Brown. Jayson Tatum ($10,900) has been more miss than hit but he was fantastic in Game 5. It’s possible he was shaken up in his collision with Kevin Love in Game 6 and that’s why his performance was down. He’s currently listed as questionable, but it sounds like he’ll play.

Speaking of Love, he’s already been ruled out. That means Cleveland needs someone to step up. Jeff Green ($5,200) and George Hill ($4,900) filled that role in Game 6. But Jeff Green is still Jeff Green and one great game is usually followed by a stinker. And Hill has been abysmal on the road this series.

As for Boston role players, Marcus Smart ($9,200) should be a big contributor. He’s built for moments like this and gets the home boost. The price is appetizing for Marcus Morris ($6,400). He’s been strong at home and looks like a nice value pick up.

J.R. Smith ($2,800) and Kyle Korver ($3,700) remain options with Korver being the more likely to contribute. Jordan Clarkson ($2,200) is another low cost option who will get some playing time.

Tristan Thompson ($7,400) has been non-factor in the last two games. Larry Nance Jr. ($5,400) is the more cost effective option. Aron Baynes ($4,300) didn’t do any in Game 6, but don’t write him off in Game 7.
