Boston Celtics guard Derrick White didn't have his best showing in Monday's win over the Cavs. He scored just five points, going 1-for-6 from the field and 1-for-4 from deep. Fortunately, the veteran at least had seven boards, three assists, and one steal, so DFS managers didn't get left out in the cold. White had 25 points in Game 1. However, he has only 27 in the last three games. With that said, the 29-year-old could easily bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday evening, with the Celtics looking to close out the series and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday had 16 points in Monday's win over Cleveland. He also had seven boards, five assists, three steals, and one block. The 33-year-old has been on a roll, amassing 34 points and shooting 7-for-12 from behind the arc in the last two games. While Holiday has been difficult to trust from a DFS standpoint, especially after his subpar play in the Conference quarterfinals versus Miami, he deserves attention for Game 5 on Wednesday night.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown scored 27 points in Monday's victory over the Cavs. He also amassed eight rebounds and one assist. The 27-year-old wasn't as productive as Jayson Tatum, who had a game-high 33 points. He also had five turnovers. However, Brown had another potent postseason showing, with the 2016 No. 3 overall pick shooting 66.7% from deep in three of the four games in this series. The Celtics look to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals by finishing off Cleveland on Wednesday night. DFS managers need to keep Brown in their lineups, considering he should continue to log heavy minutes and take plenty of shots.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a game-high 33 points in Monday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He added 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block. While Tatum struggled shooting the ball, going 11-for-25 from the field and 2-for-8 from deep, he still had one of his best showings of the postseason. The 26-year-old has now scored 66 points in the last two games, so DFS managers should keep him on the radar for Game 5 on Wednesday evening, with the C's looking to finish the series and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (calf) has been cleared to play on Monday against Cleveland. He was initially a slight question mark for the contest after the team listed Kornet as probable on the injury report with right calf tightness. The seven-footer has provided quality backup minutes to Al Horford against the Cavaliers, with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) still on the mend. Kornet is averaging 3.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in 13.7 minutes in the series.
