Orlando Magic vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Captain's recommendation
Donovan Mitchell ($17,400 CP) — The Magic play great defense. It wasn't Friday. Mitchell dropped 50 points on 22-of-36 shooting. In fact, they played great defense. Donovan Mitchell was the only Cav to score in the fourth quarter of Game 6. All 18 points belonged to Mitchell. He'll have to go back to “Okay, I'll do it myself” mode again in Game 7. His 50 points might just be a warm-up.
Paolo Banchero ($16,800 CP) — Donovan Mitchell wasn't the only star in Game 6. Banchero scored 10 of his points in the fourth quarter. He had 27 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. This followed his career-high scoring performance (39 points) in Game 5. Banchero has been leading his team through key games in this series. Although he lost the series 0-2, he recorded 61.25 DKFP in 29 minutes. He had the best game of his postseason career on the road, losing by one point in Game 5. Facing elimination in Game 6, he earned 44.5 DKFP, a 5.4x value. That's a very good return for a top-tier player in a small slot and a small playoff spot.
flex play
Franz Wagner ($10,200) — Banchero night or Wagner night? For Magic, it's better to have both. If you really have to be alone, it would be wiser to bet on Wagner. Batchello isn't going to back down, but Wagner was much more efficient in the series. His playoff usage rate is significantly lower than his regular season average. It's not an easy matchup, and different teams will have different matchups in the playoffs. That being said, he is scoring and getting to the free throw line. Now is not the time to show respect. This is the 7th game on the road. Shoot the ball, Franz!
Jonathan Isaac ($4,800) —Is this the end for the 2023-2024 NBA DFS Small Slate King? Isaac was regularly selected as a small but important value pick in NBA DFS this season. I'm here again. Contests don't get smaller, but contests don't get bigger. Isaac is away from the microwave from the bench. He has been as productive as a starting pitcher. His role is still unclear. Magic left Isaac alone and made him taller with Isaac, Wendell Carter Jr. ($5,800) Game 6 was decided by just Carter. The problem is not the actual production. It's play time.
Darius Garland ($8,800) — and Jarrett Allen ($9,000) Garland stepped up in Game 6. In Game 6, he posted 40.25 DKFP without scoring in the fourth quarter. Allen may appear again. At least the big guys have their limits. Garland has to step up by wearing ruby red slippers. Game 7 in Cleveland was the game in which the Cavs won every game in the series.
fade
Wendell Carter Jr. ($5,800) — he is hot Carter had a 31.75 DKFP in Game 5 and a 29.75 DKFP in Game 6. These totals have a large star next to them (6'9″ star). Jarrett Allen missed both games. The season is approaching. Allen should be there. In that case, Carter's role changes. Matchups are much more difficult.
result
This was a sensational series. The two defensive teams went back and forth, but neither team was able to win on the opponent's home court. The Cleveland crowd was thrilled. ESPN turned off its broadcast microphones for the first few minutes of Game 1 in Cleveland. The roar of the audience served as a live commentary and eloquently told the story. Cleveland times a billion!
final score: Cavaliers 107, Magic 98
