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 going to eat the chalk with Jimmy Butler and Al Horford, but then I plan to get different with the rest of my roster. Two of my favorite tournament plays on the board are Derrick White and Fred VanVleet.

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – With just 3 games on the slate, I’ll lean into game stacks and hope one of these games can separate. I particularly like the ORL/BOS game, as players on both sides benefit from Jayson Tatum being out.

TJ Zwarych: Without Jayson Tatum, the Celtics are my clear top target, and I plan to load up on them in single-entry contests. Although the Magic aren’t a great matchup, all of the game totals are lower in these strong defensive playoff games regardless. On a small slate, I’ll play at least 4 Celtics on DraftKings and also hit the max of 4 on FanDuel.

Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
