Filling In Your Sunday Lineups
Here are theScore's sample daily fantasy lineups for Sunday, April 24's four-game playoff slate:
Cash Game Without UTIL
POS | Name | Opponent |
---|---|---|
PG | Kyrie Irving (CLE) | at DET |
PG | Dennis Schroder (ATL) | at BOS |
SG | Evan Turner (BOS) | vs. ATL |
SG | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (DET) | vs. CLE |
SF | Marcus Morris (DET) | vs. CLE |
SF | Matt Barnes (MEM) | vs. SA |
PF | Zach Randolph (MEM) | vs. SA |
PF | Kevin Love (CLE) | at DET |
C | Marreese Speights (GS) | at HOU |
Love has three straight double-doubles, with Irving has had at least 22 points and four assists over the series' first three games. Randolph and Barnes nearly upset the Spurs in Game 3; expect at least another strong performance in defeat. Spending down at center with Speights, who has scored at least nine points in each of the series' three games, allows for balance elsewhere.
GPP Without UTIL
POS | Name | Opponent |
---|---|---|
PG | Stephen Curry (GS) | at HOU |
PG | Dennis Schroder (ATL) | at BOS |
SG | Evan Turner (BOS) | vs. ATL |
SG | Kyle Korver (ATL) | at BOS |
SF | Jae Crowder (BOS) | vs. ATL |
SF | Kawhi Leonard (SA) | at MEM |
PF | Jonas Jerebko (BOS) | vs. ATL |
PF | Amir Johnson (BOS) | vs. ATL |
C | Marreese Speights (GS) | at HOU |
A Celtic-heavy lineup is featured here; all four Boston players were productive in Game 3 and should be again, given the injuries dotting the rest of the roster. Hopefully Crowder's 1-for-11 3-point shooting over the previous two games can improve to complement his secondary contributions. Time to gamble on Curry's health, as the MVP looks to suit up after missing the last two games.

Cash Game With UTIL
POS | Name | Opponent |
---|---|---|
PG | Jeff Teague (ATL) | at BOS |
SG | James Harden (HOU) | vs. GS |
SF | Matt Barnes (MEM) | vs. SA |
PF | Draymond Green (GS) | at HOU |
C | Dwight Howard (HOU) | vs. GS |
G | Dennis Schroder (ATL) | at BOS |
F | Jonas Jerebko (BOS) | vs. ATL |
UTIL | Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (DET) | vs. CLE |
The much-maligned Howard has had at least 12 points, 10 rebounds, a steal and a block in each game of the series. A few days off should benefit Harden and Green, who routinely play huge minutes. Jerebko started and played 37 minutes Friday, recording a double-double. Caldwell-Pope plays big minutes and contributes steadily in nearly every category.
GPP With UTIL
POS | Name | Opponent |
---|---|---|
PG | Marcus Smart (BOS) | vs. ATL |
SG | James Harden (HOU) | vs. GS |
SF | Jae Crowder (BOS) | vs. ATL |
PF | Jonas Jerebko (BOS) | vs. ATL |
C | Marreese Speights (GS) | at HOU |
G | Dennis Schroder (ATL) | at BOS |
F | Draymond Green (GS) | at HOU |
UTIL | LeBron James (CLE) | at DET |
Pricey stars like James, Green and Harden are facilitated by bargains like Jerebko, Speights and Schroder. The lineup again has a heavy Boston focus, with the Celtics looking to even the series with another strong performance at home.
