Warriors-Cavaliers (Warriors Lead 2-0)

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.

LeBron James ($22,000) was either tired, frustrated, or both in Game 2 and still managed 60 fantasy points. He’s going to be excellent once again and this feels like the game where he gets some help from his role players.

Kevin Durant ($16,000) and Steph Curry ($15,000) will continue to be around 50 fantasy points. I find Curry more reliable because there is no worry about him isolating too much and not passing enough. That said, call it a gut feeling, but I’m high on Durant in this one.

Draymond Green ($13,000) wasn’t his usual self in Game 2. Expect him to bounce back in Game 3. His game travels well because he’s not reliant on scoring and can post numbers in all categories. Kevin Love ($12,000) is consistent, although it would be nice if he started to shoot better. Maybe home court will serve him well. Klay Thompson ($11,000) has been steady in the last three games and is always a threat to have a big game.

George Hill ($9,500) finally had a good road game in Game 2. He’s been good at home this postseason and should be able to build off his Sunday night performance. Tristan Thompson ($9,000) was better than Larry Nance Jr. ($8,500) in Game 2. As mentioned last time, the two have flip-flopped throughout the postseason. Thompson is slightly more trustworthy just because he plays with the starters and has more guaranteed minutes.

Kyle Korver ($7,000), Jeff Green ($7,000), and J.R. Smith ($6,500) have been non-factors thus far. The hope is they get the “role players play better at home” boost. Korver in particular always seems to get more minutes and shots at home.

Kevon Looney ($8,000) isn’t attractive unless he’s starting. But Shaun Livingston ($6,000) is a reliable backup point guard and JaVale McGee ($3,000) gets easy points and rebounds alongside the four All-Stars.

Rodney Hood ($3,000) will get a chance to prove himself off the bench. He can’t be worse than Jordan Clarkson.
