Point Guard
Ben Simmons vs. Miami Heat $48
After both of the games tonight were extremely lopsided in Game 1, we have to try to decipher what is going to happen in Game 2. The Heat have what I consider one of the better coaches in the league and should be able to make some adjustments to keep this game closer than a 27-point loss from Game 1. In 34 minutes Simmons was dominant without Embiid in the lineup and should this game stay close is likely to play closer to 36-38 minutes after logging a 32% usage in Game 1.
Also Consider: Goran Dragic $25
