Saturday, May 19th

Cleveland looks to bounce back from a 2-0 deficit today at home against the Boston Celtics. I’m going to again focus purely on numbers to help you build your lineups on FanDuel and DraftKings. I’ve included minutes history/projections and fantasy point projections for both FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s a pretty thorough look that should help you get the edge on those just throwing lineups together haphazardly. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
