Cade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons at Cleveland Cavaliers ($10,900)
Cunningham has been the Alpha and Omega, the whole shebang, lock, stock and barrel and whatever idiom is out there. The usage rate has been around 31%, he’s contributing in every statistical category and playing over 40 minutes a night this series. After putting up 40.25 FPTS in the series opener, Cunningham has finished with 50.25 and 58 FPTS. Another 50-burger is highly likely.
Other Options: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($10,100), Donovan Mitchell ($8,700), James Harden ($8,000), Ajay Mitchell ($6,700)
Duncan Robinson, Detroit Pistons at Cleveland Cavaliers ($4,900)
For much of the Orlando series, Robinson was playing in the high-20s. In Game 6, though, he received 36 minutes and finished with 25.75 FPTS. Since then, he’s played at least 36 minutes in three of four games and put up over 28 FPTS in all with two over 30 FPTS. His ability to space the floor for Cunningham is vital on a Pistons team that plays a bunch of non-shooters. Robinson doesn’t just camp out in the corner, though, as he’s well adept at moving off the ball and navigating around screens. As long as he’s on the floor, Robinson should get plenty of good looks and produce some fantasy goodies.
Other Options: Marcus Smart ($5,400), Cason Wallace ($4,300), Daniss Jenkins ($4,200), Jared McCain ($3,100)
Chet Holmgren, Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers ($7,700)
After putting up over 50 FPTS in each of the first two games of the series, Holmgren put up 32.25 FPTS in Game 3. That was a disappointment considering the expectations, but a couple of field goals here, one or two rebounds there and a steal over there and he would’ve been at 40 FPTS. He played 31 minutes and, as long as he gets the same workload, I think 40 to 50 FPTS is the likely outcome. He is just too much for the Lakers to handle at both ends of the floor.
Other Options: LeBron James ($9,200), Tobias Harris ($7,100)
Cason Wallace, Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers ($4,100)
Wallace has played 19, 31 and 25 minutes so far this series. Despite the variance in playing time, the FPTS production has been like clockwork: 20.5, 25.5 and 22.25 FPTS. He will never explode or dominate in any one category, so the ceiling is low, but he chips in a little something something everywhere, which makes the floor relatively high.
Other Options: Marcus Smart ($5,400), Rui Hachimura ($5,300)
Evan Mobley, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Detroit Pistons ($7,500)
I do not like the options at center up top, but if I had to choose one, it would be Mobley. A ringing endorsement! Mobley has the skill set and potential to dominate at both ends of the court, but he hasn’t been able to put it all together and make that leap yet. As a result, he’s put up 37.25, 27.75 and 32.5 FPTS so far in the series. And I’m expecting somewhere in the 30-FPTS range once again, which isn’t bad for the price but it’s still somewhat meh.
Other Options: NA
Jarrett Allen, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Detroit Pistons ($5,700)
During the regular season, Allen didn’t play well against Detroit and Jalen Duren went nuts in a few of those contests. In the series opener, Allen got played off the floor and finished with only 18 minutes, four fouls and 8.75 FPTS. Since then, he’s gone for at least 30 FPTS in both contests while playing 31 and 32 minutes. Playing alongside James Harden and Donovan Mitchell has afforded plenty of easy looks on offense while Allen has been contributing in the defensive categories.
Other Options: Isaiah Hartenstein ($5,500)
