PG Jalen Brunson, New York Knicks (16,200 US dollars)

It is easy to over-analyze a fantasy basketball choice, especially on a one-game slate. Just let us keep that: Jalen Brunson has ice cream in his veins. New York's face of the franchise is not an unknown of pressure packaging competitions that go back to his college days in Villanova. In the NBA, the guard was nothing less in these situations than phenomenal. Through four career games with the Knicks, JB achieves an average of 38.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 6.8 assists.

Give the Celtics some recognition; You kept Brunson a good, not great imagination per game in this series. Nevertheless, you can only keep a superstar low for so long. In the last competition in the Madison Square Garden, game 4, the two-time all-star fell by 39 points, 12 assists and five rebounds (66.25 FPTS). Brunson does not have to have such a good performance on Friday, but over 30 points and a handful of Dimes are reasonable expectation.

PG/SG Payton Pritchhard, Boston Celtics (USD 10,800)

Jaylen Brown performed in game 5 for Boston and led the team in the rating (37) and Assists (12). Derrick White was also fantastic and set his own 34 points. Outside of these two, the Jayson Tatum-without Celtics lack a third option on the offensive. Enter Payton Pritchard; The sixth man 2024-25 of the year. In this series, the guard published 14.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game (23.25 FPTS). The most impressive was his shooting and knocked 37.8% of his three -point attempts.

In a Celtics squad that loves to swing the ball around, there will be several open looks tonight. This is particularly true against Knick's defense that has problems defending the scope. This season, the opponents have dropped 36.4% of their three -point attempts against New York, the ninth brand in basketball. As everyone knows, Boston is ready to live and die when he shoots from beyond the arch. Assuming that the playing style will continue on Friday, Pritchard could be an important beneficiary.

C Luke Kornet, Boston Celtics ($ 6,600)

Health problems have made Kristaps Porzingis largely ineffective in this series. Al Horford, 38 years old, cannot protect New York Karl-Anthony cities for over 30 minutes. Fortunately for the Celtics, list one of the best backup centers of basketball. Luke Kornet has proven to be a large bank piece for Boston that offers great defense and bounces down for a smaller front court. In game 5, the veteran made the best of 26 minutes after the season. Cornet recorded ten points, nine rebounds and a whopping seven blocks (38.75 fpts).

A repetition on Friday is unrealistic, but it is certainly not another good game. In view of the mysterious illness of Porzingis, there is a strong chance that Kornet will receive more than 20 minutes of workload. In an excretion scenario, it is also likely that this becomes an intensive matter with a low score. If this is the case, head coach Joe Mazzulla would claim to leave his best rim protection on the floor. With only 6,600 US dollars, Kornet is someone who should address most fantasy managers for today's competition.
