Jayson Tatum and the Celtics look to bounce back in Miami for Game 2 of the East Finals. After a Game 1 masterpiece from Miami — in which they trailed by double digits but used a third-quarter run to dominate — it was never really close after that. The Heat got a gem of a game from Jimmy Butler in that victory, and he’ll obviously be featured in this article! With that in mind, let’s start by looking at the injury report.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors look to close out the series in Game 5 at Memphis. Our first few days at Yahoo have been incredible. One thing we love about their site is its pricing. We don’t have these massive four and five-figure salaries to deal with, making the math a bit easier on us. Having minimum players at $10 and the best players between $50-60 makes lineup construction much more straightforward, and we feel like we have a good read on how these playoffs are playing… Source link

It’s been an unbelievable start to the conference semis, and watching Ja Morant erupt on Tuesday was quite the treat. The two home teams in tonight’s semifinal matchups took care of business in Game 1 which means these road teams need to step up to avoid going down 0-2.

Here are my players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineup. GOALIE Antti Raanta, CAR vs. BOS ($27): If Frederik Andersen returns, he’s an easy call Wednesday. However, if Andersen… Source link

There are some early start times across baseball on Wednesday, including an afternoon matchup between the Pirates and Brewers in which Brandon Woodruff will start for Milwaukee. As far as the night games go, the matchup between the Mets and Giants has the potential to be a great pitchers duel between Carlos Rodon and Chris Bassitt. The two have combined to allow three runs over 24 innings this season. The Blue Jays and Red Sox will also take the field against each other in a matchup between… Source link

Wednesday is the NHL’s last day of action before the All-Star break. There are five games on the slate. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups… GOALIE Cam Talbot, MIN at CHI ($23): I’m not sure if the Wild will go with Talbot or with Kaapo Kahkonen, as Kahkonen has had the better season with a 2.53 GAA and .922 save percentage. That being said, Talbot has only made two starts since suffering a lower-body injury, so I can imagine Dean Evanson wanting to give… Source link
