PG

LeBron James ($9,800)

Playoff LeBron without AD has to be one of the safest possible plays of all time. Lock Bron into your cash lines and don’t look back. He’s probably my favorite spend up on the slate.

James Harden ($10,600)

Outside of the massive blowout in game 2 where he lost minutes, Harden has played great this series. There is some blowout risk still, but with the way Jayson Tatum is playing I’m confident Boston can keep it close enough for Harden to get full minutes. If he gets full minutes, he’s a fantastic play every slate.

Marcus Smart ($6,500)

Smart has played very well the last 3 games. He gets a ton of minutes and he has a little more usage and upside if Kemba is out like he is expected to be.

SG

James Harden (10,600)

Harden is also SG eligible.

Marcus Smart ($6,500)

Smart is also SG eligible.

Norman Powell ($5,600)

I’m going with Powell here just because SG doesn’t look great for cash. I would try to have one of the top two guys in this spot today. With that being said, Powell isn’t a bad play. He’s played well over the last 2 games and he gets a ton of minutes. His range of outcomes is a little worrisome, but because of how weak SG is as a whole I expect Powell to have decent ownership which makes himm fine for cash.

SF

Kevin Durant ($10,200)

KD has scored 52, 52, 62 and 61 DK points in the 4 games so far on the series. He’s a very safe cash play with great upside as well.

LeBron James ($9,800)

LeBron is also SF eligible.

Kyle Kuzma ($4,600)

Kuzma will be the top value on the slate if AD is out like he’s expected to be. He will be super chalk for good reason and I expect him to have a big day.

PF

Kevin Durant ($10,200)

KD is also PF eligible.

Jayson Tatum ($10,000)

Tatum is one of my favorite spend up’s on the slate and he should be highly owned. He’s been playing great over the last 2 games, scoring 50 and 40 real life points. If the Celtics have any chance to keep the game close, Tatum has to have another big performance.

Kyle Kuzma ($4,600)

Kuzma is also PF eligible.

C

Nikola Jokic ($10,400)

Jokic is always one of the best plays on any slate he’s on and that’s no different here. He’s a guy you can plug into your cash lines and not think twice about it.

Deandre Ayton ($7,400)

Ayton is a great mid range option for center. He’s played great so far this series, scoring 44, 37, 41 and 42 DK points. He’s a guy that’s going to consistently get high 30’s to low 40’s minutes. I’m very comfortable with Ayton in cash.
