Cavaliers' Deron Williams: Shines in spot start Monday
Williams scored 35 points (14-25 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT) with nine assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one block across 46 minutes in Monday's 124-121 overtime loss to the Heat.
Analysis:
Williams started in place of Kyrie Irving, who sat out Monday's game to rest, and he made the most of his opportunity by flirting with a triple-double. His 35 points were a season-high and his nine assists and seven rebounds were both his highest totals as a member of the Cavs. It's unclear whether Irving will play in the Cavs final game Wednesday, but if he doesn't Williams could make for a high upside cheap play in DFS settings.
