Larry Nance Jr. Steps Up In Kevin Love's Absence In Game 6
5/26:Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Larry Nance Jr. posted 10 points, seven rebounds and two steals off the bench for the Cavaliers on Friday night. He showed up when Kevin Love exited the game with a head injury. His versatility helped the Cavs cover the Celtics shooters and easily switch matchups at times. It's expected that Nance will be inserted into the starting lineup if Love is out for Game 7, so don't hesitate to add him in your DFS lineups if you think he can put on another performance like this.Source: ESPN
George Hill Scores 20 Points In Game 6 Win
5/26:Cleveland Cavaliers point guard George Hill scored 20 points with three rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block to help the Cavaliers stay alive in this Eastern Conference Finals. He was aggressive in this game, which is similar to what we saw in Game 4. The Cavs should hope he puts up the same numbers for Game 7, especially if Kevin Love sits out. Hill is a risky play for DFS lineups, but if you want to field him, go for it.Source: ESPN
LeBron James Does Everything In Game 6 Win
5/26:Cleveland Cavaliers small forward LeBron James put on a classic performance with his team's back against the wall to pull off a 109-99 win over the Boston Celtics in Cleveland. He posted 46 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists, three steals and a block, essentially carrying the team on his back. He played 46 minutes in this game, so be ready to see him put on another vintage performance in the TD Garden for Game 7. If you haven't added him in your DFS lineups, this may be the last time you can place him in there.Source: ESPN
Kevon Looney Quiet In Second Straight Start
5/25:Golden State Warriors power forward/center Kevon Looney did not provide too much in his club's Game 5 loss. Looney started his second consecutive game for the injured Andre Iguodala and was only able to provide four points while grabbing three rebounds and picking up a steal. With Iguodala possibly returning for Game 6, we could see Looney's relevance diminish for the do-or-die matchup for his club. It is best to keep an eye on his starting status leading up to tipoff.Source: espn
Draymond Green Records Third Straight Double-Double
5/25:Golden State Warriors power forward/center Draymond Green continued his run of double-doubles but his club still managed the loss in Game 5. Green recorded 12 points while grabbing 15 rebounds and was able to dish out four assists. Green did commit six turnovers with a couple costly ones in the fourth quarter and has recorded 11 total in his last two games. Green will not be happy with how he finished this one and we can expect the big man to come out strong in Game 6 in hopes of keeping his club's season alive.Source: espn
Stephen Curry Scores 22 Points In Loss
5/25:Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry had a solid outing in Game 5 of the series against the Houston Rockets. Curry did not connect on a field goal until around eight minutes into this one but still managed 22 points while dishing out six assists and grabbing seven rebounds. Curry managed four steals but also added three turnovers and tied a team-low minus -9 on the night. We should expect Curry to come out flying in Game 6 with the possibility of Chris Paul missing some action which makes Curry a solid play for Game 6.Source: espn
Klay Thompson Finds His Jumper
5/25:Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Klay Thompson found his rhythm but it was not enough as his club fell by four points to the Houston Rockets. Thompson connected on an efficient eight of his 14 attempts from the floor to record 23 points and was able to add four rebounds to his line. Thompson had shot just 34.2% from the floor in the three games prior to this one, so to see the sniper get going was a positive sign as his shooting could turn this series around for the Warriors. He is an interesting play for Game 6 if he can keep his flow on the offensive end going.Source: espn
Kevin Durant Notches 29 Points
5/25:Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant recorded 29 points but it was not enough as his team lost Game 5 on the road. Durant struggled to find his shot knocking down just 8-for-22 from the floor while adding just four rebounds and only a single block. This is one of Durant's worse lines of the year as he did not record a single assist and not many supporting stats. The Warriors are going to need 'superstar' KD to return for Game 6 if they want to keep their season alive.Source: espn
Trevor Ariza Struggles In Game 5
5/25:Houston Rockets forward Trevor Ariza could not get things going but his club still managed the victory in Game 5. Ariza struggled making just 1-for-6 from the floor to finish the night with six points while adding threes steals to his line. Ariza has only reached double-digit scoring in one game (Game 2) in this series, but we could see this change if Chris Paul misses Game 6 due to his hamstring injury. Ariza makes for an intigueing play in Game 6 as we need to keep an eye on CP's status leading up to tip-off.Source: espn
Eric Gordon Comes Up Big In Game 5
5/25:Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon was a difference maker in his club's Game 5 win over the Golden State Warriors. Gordon scored a team-high 24 points on 6-for-15 shooting while making 9-for-10 from the line. Gordon also contributed four rebounds with two steals and a block without a turnover on the night. If Chris Paul does miss Game 6 then the Rockets will be relying heavily on Gordon and we can expect him to start and to play 36 or more minutes in that one.Source: espn
James Harden Shooting Struggles Continue In Win
5/25:Houston Rockets guard James Harden connected on just 5-for-21 from the floor and missed all 11 of his attempts from three but his club still managed the win in Game 5. Harden finished with just 19 points and only dished out four assists with six turnovers on the night. Harden has connected on just eight of his last 44 attempts from downtown and somehow his Rockets have control of the series. If Paul does indeed miss Game 6, we can expect a heavy workload from the Beard and he should be targeted in lineups.Source: espn
Clint Capela Records A Double-Double In Game 5
5/25:Houston Rockets center Clint Capela recorded his seventh double-double of the postseason as his club won Game 5. Capela was efficient knocking down 5-for-6 from the floor en route to 12 points while hauling down 14 rebounds. Capela was able to add two blocks and was a solid plus-6 on the night. Capela has been great this postseason and is worth rostering at the center spot for Game 6 as he has been quite consistent in this series averaging a double-double.Source: espn
Chris Paul Injures Hamstring In Win
5/25:Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul injured his left hamstring in the dying minutes of Game 5 and did not return to action. Paul provided 20 points to go along with seven rebounds while dishing out six assists without a turnover in this one. Paul made some big shots down the stretch before the injury and will receive treatment on Friday. The injury is to his left hamstring as during the season it was the right one that gave him issues, so keep an eye on his status leading up to Game 6.Source: espn
P.J, Tucker Provides Another Solid Line
5/25:Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker was able to continue his excellent play of late in a four-point win in Game 5. Tucker was able to connect on 3-for-6 from the floor to tally eight points and was able to haul down nine boards on the night. Tucker continued his heavy minutes by playing 42 in this one and we will most likely see this trend continue in Game 6, especially if Chris Paul is unable to go. Keeping an eye on Paul's status as this could lead to a must play for the rugged forward in Game 6.Source: espn
Jaylen Brown Scores 17 Points In Game 5 Win
5/24:Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown scored 17 points with three rebounds, two assists and a block to seal a Game 5 win for the Celtics. He has been consistent in his scoring throughout the series, and this game showed it once again. He hit two triples to show he isn't scared of taking the big shots under the bright lights. You can count on him to produce again in Game 6, so add him to your lineups.Source: ESPN
