The Eastern Conference Semifinals
Only four teams remain in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and 3 of them just came out of game 7s. Who will reach the conference finals?
—
Match 1: The Detroit Pistons vs the Cleveland Cavaliers
The Detroit Pistons lead the series 1-0.
Cade Cunningham scored 23 points, 7 assists, and had 2 steals to help the Pistons win game 1. Tobias Harris (20 points and 8 rebounds) and Duncan Robinson (19 points, 5 out of 8 from three) had key contributions. Jalen Duren produced 11 points and 12 rebounds, but had some key plays towards the end of the game that helped Detroit seal the win. The Cavaliers had 19 turnovers which is problematic, and something they have to work on in game 2. James Harden had 7 of those turnovers, as the Pistons were stifling him throughout the game, never letting him get into a good rhythm.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Cade Cunningham
Vice Captain: Donovan Mitchell
Key picks: James Harden, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, Jalen Duren, Duncan Robinson
Match 2: The New York Knicks vs the Philadelphia 76ers
The New York Knicks lead the series 1-0.
The New York Knicks suddenly have home court advantage, which paid off during game 1. Jalen Brunson had 35 points, and Karl Anthony-Towns (17 points), Mikal Bridges (17 points), and OG Anunoby (18 points) had contributions in scoring. The Knicks are hard to beat when their shooters get their rhythm. The Sixers, on the other hand, struggled from 3 (36%, compared to the Knicks’ 51%), and they struggled offensively all night. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid were not shooting the ball well.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Jalen Brunson
Vice Captain: Karl Anthony-Towns
Key picks: Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, OG Anunoby, VJ Edgecombe, Mikal Bridges, Paul George
