What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

Notorious: I prefer small-field and single-entry tournaments. I’m not sure what Jalen Brunson has to do to garner more ownership. In the first 4 games of the series, he has averaged 48 fantasy points with a massive usage rate of 32%. I’ll continue to be way overweight on him.

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – I’ll lean into game stacks even more than usual, as either of these games could be a massive blowout. There is a lot of strong cheap value, which will lead to a ton of stars-and-scrubs lineups. I’ll force in many balanced lineups to get different.

TJ Zwarych: I’ll just play 1 lineup in single-entry contests, and I plan to load up on the Celtics as much as possible. In addition to Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and Derrick White, I also want to pair them with Payton Pritchard. If I were playing more lineups, I’d make that either one of Pritchard or Jrue Holiday, but regardless, it’s an ‘all-in on the Celtics’ kind of night for me.
