Cavaliers-Celtics (Series Tied 3-3)

With only one game on the schedule, your top option is FanDuel’s Single Game Boost. In single game leagues, you select five players (one from each team). The MVP (scores a 2x multiplier), the Star (scores a 1.5x multiplier), the Pro (scores a 1.2x a multiplier) and two positionless players.

In a one game league, you have to identify players who are going to play. That means any starter is a good bet.

Expect another amazing performance from LeBron James ($20,000). With Kevin Love out and Cleveland role players failing to show up on the road, LeBron may need 50-20-10 to win Game 7.

Al Horford ($13,000) was invisible in Game 6, but he’s been great at home in the playoffs and they’ll lean heavily on his experience in Game 7.

Terry Rozier ($13,500) was hot in Game 6 and has been great in the last three games. But he’s had to do less at home with Horford and others doing more. Jaylen Brown ($11,500) is still my favorite option on Boston out of their young three. Jayson Tatum ($12,000) could go either way. He was great in Game 5 but a non-factor in Game 6. The head injury may have had something to do with his Game 6 performance, but it’s not like he’s lit the world on fire throughout this series.

Marcus Smart ($10,500) is going to make winning plays and contribute in multiple area. Marcus Morris ($10,000) has been outstanding at home and you know he’ll get shots and opportunities. Aron Baynes ($7,500) should have a bounce back game.

Cleveland role players go back to being untrustworthy. George Hill ($9,000) stepped up in Game 6, but have you seen his road numbers? His highest fantasy total is 12.9. That’s. Not. Good. Larry Nance Jr. ($8,000) is the better option over Tristan Thompson ($8,000) at this point.

Kyle Korver ($7,000) is more trustworthy than J.R. Smith ($6,500). Jeff Green ($6,500) was next man up when Love went down and will likely draw the start in Game 7. But he’s Jeff Green and that should scare you a bit. That said, this is a good price for a guy who can do a bit of everything.
