This article is part of our DraftKings NBA series.
The Celtics and the Cavaliers both have an opportunity Monday to sweep their way into the Eastern Conference Finals. Monday also brings the possibility to bring home some cash on DraftKings, so consider the players below who could help you finish the night a winner.
GUARDS
Terry Rozier, BOS at PHI ($8,200): Rozier only had three assists in Game 3, but he still provided enough production in other areas to score 36.3 DraftKings points. He played 44 minutes in the overtime win and is averaging 37 minutes in the playoffs overall, giving him a high floor most nights. Don't hesitate to add him to your entry as the Celtics look to close this one out.
J.J. Redick, PHI vs. BOS ($5,900): Redick has provided the Sixers with valuable veteran leadership and a crucial ability to stretch the floor, so he'll likely play a key role Monday if they are going to stay alive in this series. He has scored at least 18 points in all three games and has shot a combined 10-for-24 from behind the arc. He doesn't provide much outside of scoring, but he's priced low enough to still be a viable option.
Marcus Smart, BOS at PHI ($5,800): Smart continues to see plenty of playing time for the Celtics, logging at least 31 minutes in all three games of this series. He's scored at least 28.8 DraftKings points in two of the three contests despite scoring less than 10 points in a game twice. He provides value defensively and can chip in with assists as well, so he is someone to consider at this reasonable price.
FORWARDS
LeBron James, CLE vs. TOR ($12,100): James is doing it all in this series. Not only has he scored at least 62.5 DraftKings points in all three games, but he continues to come up big late in games. He has logged at least 40 minutes in all but one contest during his playoff run this season and is a threat to post a triple-double every night, making him an excellent option to build your entry around.
Kyle Korver, CLE vs. TOR ($4,600): Korver has had some big offensive performances in the playoffs this year, scoring at least 18 points four times. His overall upside isn't high due to his inability to provide much in other areas, but he has scored at least 25.5 DraftKings points in two of the three games against the Raptors. You have to take some chances to fit the big stars into your lineup and Korver might be a good one to take.
C.J. Miles, TOR at CLE ($3,500): With so many high-end players available Monday, we need to continue to look for cheap options to help balance out your budget. Miles had his best performance of the playoffs in Game 3, scoring 25 DraftKings points. That's probably at the top end of production to expect from him, but he has provided value by scoring at least 16.3 DraftKings points in five of the Raptors nine playoff games.
CENTERS
Joel Embiid, PHI vs. BOS ($9,800): Embiid continues to provide big numbers in this series, scoring at least 50 DraftKings points in each game. He has attempted 69 total shots, so expect him to continue to have a high usage rate Monday. With at least 13 rebounds in all three games as well, Embiid may have the highest upside of anyone outside of James for the evening.
Kevin Love, CLE vs. TOR ($7,800): Love has come back to life lately, scoring at least 49.5 DraftKings points in both of the last two games. He seems to have found his shooting stroke, going a combined 18-for-35 (51.4%) from the field. He has at least 11 rebounds in each game of this series as well, making him one of the best secondary option at center if you don't want to pay up for Embiid.
