Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Obvious Starts
Donovan Mitchell– PG/SG ($9,900 DK/$10,200 FD)
The 76ers defense has too many holes today. Mitchell will have a field day! Averaging 49.7 FPPG it’s hard to see him having a low-producing game. If the visitors were closer to full health, maybe the price would be too high, but not for tonight!
Tyrese Maxey-PG ($9,300)
The Philadelphia guard will see increased scoring opportunities (like he needed more) with Tobias Harris being questionable. Regardless, Maxey is going to have a large scoring night. He’ll fill the stat sheet, but it’ll likely be through minimal rebounds or assists tonight. In all likelihood, he gets close to 40 points and around 4 rebounds and assists each.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Start ‘Em
Jarrett Allen– C ($7,200 DK/$7,800)
The product out of Texas is a production machine! Additionally, with the lack of current frontcourt depth of the Philadelphia 76ers, he’s going to look like a great pick tonight! Averaging 36.7 FPPG, you need to include him tonight.
Evan Mobley– PF/C ($6,800 DK/$7,600 FD)
In the same vein, Mobley will have a good evening tonight. Mobley averages 37.4 FPPG, but this looks like his fantasy floor for tonight. Including him only makes sense against Philadelphia until they can get more healthy.
Sit ‘Em
Tobias Harris– SF/PF ($7,800 DK/$7,900 FD)
The frontcourt player is considered day-to-day with a hip injury. Even if he starts, expect him to be limited tonight. However, once he gets back closer to full health, he remains a consistent fantasy threat. but for today, the safe side is to sit him out of your lineup.
Philadelphia 76ers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Lock of the Day
Buddy Hield– SG/SF ($6,300 DK/ $7,100 FD)
Hield is seeing an increased role on his new team. He’s coming off a 47.3 fantasy night against the Washington Wizards. Even if he comes back down to earth a little bit, he’s going to score at least 35 fantasy points for your lineup tonight! Therefore, he is the lock to continue his current upward trend. Additionally, Buddy Hield can score the ball. Also, as one of the hottest shooters in the NBA, when he’s on, he’s on fire! However the Philadelphia 76ers play tonight, he will have a good game.
