Andre Iguodala starting Sunday, JaVale McGee to the bench
After things didn’t go so well in Game 2, Andre Iguodala will re-enter the starting lineup, and JaVale McGee will head to the bench. Iguodala should see around 30 minutes today, and McGee will see very limited minutes or not play at all.

Cash Game Center With Upside
Analysis coming soRudy Gobert is one of the cheaper centers of the premier options and is playing at home today. He has not had the best series but with Rubio possibly returning I could see him play better if Rubio is in. Even if Rubio doesn’t play I still think we can go Gobert because I just don’t love Center and he is still pretty cheap. This matchup is not the greatest but I am banking more on the talent than the recent games and hoping Gobert can turn it around at home. I also don’t love this position so I’m trying to take the cheapest center that I feel is the safest with upside. on.
Cheap Consistent Value Play
E’Twaun Moore rarely disappoints, especially at this price. He is too cheap around the industry and will likely play 30 or more minutes. I love when my value plays have secure minutes and have upside for 40 fantasy points. E’Twaun Moore checks all the boxes and is one of the better values on the board.
Star That Is Still Too Cheap
$8500 for Curry is just way too cheap. He has been solid in his first two games back but we all know Curry will get hot from downtown and crush this price soon. The price is only going up on Curry and he is a core building block for me in my cash games.
Hot Shooting Gordon To Continue?
Eric Gordon has been hot the last two games and the idea of fading a cheap Eric Gordon on a two-game slate makes me nauseous but Gordon can get cold as anyone fast so either Gordon will be hot and you’ll need him to win or he’ll go super cold and be an anchor on your lineups. Tough decision to make.
The Curry Game Is Coming
Everytime Curry comes back from an injury people wait too long to lock him back into their lineups and hopefully that gives us a great opportunity today. Curry will play more in Game 4 than he did in Game 3 which just means lots more shot attempts in this super fast game. If Curry gets hot he can put up 70+ which you’ll need to win a GPP.
Quietly Mashing
Jrue Holiday has a been a huge part of these playoffs for the Pelicans consistently scoring from the perimeter and inside the paint. If the Pelicans want to tie the series up 2-2 he will need to be just as aggressive today and he comes at a substantial discount from the Davis/Harden’s of the world but has 60 fantasy point upside.
A Better Performance Awaits in Game 4
Green struggled in Game 3 as the Warriors got blown out in New Orleans, but that shouldn’t be any cause for long-term hangover. As I wrote before the last game: this series between the Warriors and Pelicans will continue to be a fantasy goldmine as long as the games are competitive. Green’s ability to contribute in all areas of the stat sheet is a huge bonus, and he posted top-end production in each of the first two games of the series. Expect a rebound game here.
Ready for a Rebound Performance?
It has been a difficult series for Rudy Gobert, but perhaps this is the spot where he gets back on track. The good news is that we have a massively cheap price point on him, the cheapest we have seen in quite some time. The minutes are going to be there as long as the game stays close, and I think we see a more competitive game here in a pivotal Game 4 for the Jazz. There’s big double-double potential here at a cheap price point, and Gobert is my favorite point-per-dollar play of the day.
A Top Punt Value
It’s hard to find reliable value on these two game playoff slates, and guys like E’Twaun Moore and Trevor Ariza are really struggling. The Warriors don’t offer much for value, and it’s often difficult to figure out who to trust among their big men. However, it’s clear that Kevon Looney is a better fit for the pace of this series as opposed to the likes of McGee or West. Looney has been playing 20+ minutes per game in this series and is capable of giving you 20 or so fantasy points in those minutes. That’s really all you need at this price point, especially for cash games.
Jaylen Brown expected to play around 25 minutes off the bench Saturday
Jaylen Brown will once again come off the bench for game 3 today versus the 76ers, according to Head Coach Brad Stevens. Brown is dealing with a hamstring issue. In game 2, Brown played 25 minutes, and finished with 13 points. Marcus Smart will pick up the extra minutes Brown leaves behind. Smart played 39 minutes last game.
As reported by: Brian Robb via twitter Covington Upside Is Back
Covington had a very rough game 1 but in game 2 played much better in the close Philly loss. The Celtics are doing everything they can to take away Simmons in transition which means Covington is going to be a guy that has to make shots and as we saw last game he got the looks and at this price tag he has massive ceiling.
Go To Punt if Jaylen Brown Sits
Semi Ojeleye lost all his minutes in game 2 when Jaylen Brown came back but his hamstring after the game was sore and if he can’t go today Semi should get 23-25 minutes at a very cheap price tag. He isn’t a fun roster but he can help you get all the other guys you do want to play.
Cheap Way To Get Boston Exposure
Boston is a great team to get exposure to because they get a big pace up environment against the Sixers. With Jaylen Brown only returning from injury recently, I think Smart will be focal part of this Celtics team tonight. They need him defensively to slow down this Sixers offense and he has a solid price around the industry. Marcus Smart is never a fun roster when he is chalky but hopefully that won’t be the case tonight!
Better Value Plays Of The Slate
Honestly I liked George Hill but the more and more I have thought about it I think he is one of the better values of the slate. $3700 is very cheap for someone playing 30 minutes and the upside on his price is just insane. He has looked better recently and will be needed a ton defensively to guard Lowry and DeRozan. Value is hard to find on this slate and I think Hill helps you pay up for the studs that you want in your cash games.
