The Cleveland Cavaliers will visit the New York Knicks at 8 PM EST tonight for Game 2 of the ECF. The Knicks woke up late in the fourth quarter to complete one of the most shocking comebacks in NBA playoff history to secure Game 1.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in the action this evening. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this year is Pick6 Fantasy Basketball!
This article will look at my top Pick6 plays for tonight’s slate. We simply choose whether a player will record more or less of the set statistic. Here are my favorite plays for tonight’s action.
Mobley averaged 9 RPG in the regular season and is coming off two consecutive double doubles, pulling down 14 and 12 rebounds. He figures to be playing more than 38 minutes once again, and given this 10.2 per-36 minute RPG, it’s likely that he’ll grab More than 8.5 tonight. The Cavs will need Mobley to secure possessions for them to have a shot at stealing a game in Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks did hold opponents to a fourth-best 49.2 RPG in the regular season, so they aren’t soft on the glass by any means. Regardless, Mobley is a talented rebounder in a desperate playoff environment.
It didn’t start off too hot, but Brunson ended the night with a massive 38 piece after carrying his team in the fourth quarter to force overtime with a huge comeback. Brunson took a whopping 29 FGA and shot 51.7% from the field. Even if he’s inefficient, Brunson can get to the line consistently and take enough shots to make us not worry about him reaching 28.5 tonight. Brunson is averaging 6.3 FTA in the playoffs and 28.4 PPG. He’s shooting .489/.389/.841 on 21 FGA.
Unlike the two previous series, during which Brunson had to deal with defenders like Dyson Daniels and VJ Edgecombe, he won’t have tough perimeter defenders to deal with. And the Cavs certainly cannot continue their lazy scheme of allowing the Knicks to switch Brunson onto James Harden, especially late in the game when Harden’s age catches up to him. Brunson relentlessly attacked Harden in Game 1, which catalyzed the Knicks’ incredible comeback victory.
Anunoby looked rusty at times since returning from injury, and finished Game 1 with just 13 points on 2/9 shooting. He should be better tonight. His shot volume isn’t guaranteed, as it’s ranged from as high as 17 to as low as eight FGA in these playoffs, but many of his shots are high quality looks from three. He’s also an efficient shooter, and given his role on this offense, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him eclipse 15.5 tonight off open threes, backdoor cuts, and trips to the line.
