As NBA playoffs heat up, monitoring injury reports is crucial. The Cleveland Cavaliers face a dilemma with Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and De'Andre Hunter all questionable for Game 2 against the Pacers. The absence of these pivotal players could alter DFS strategies significantly, pushing reserves like Ty Jerome and Dean Wade into the spotlight as potential value picks. It's imperative to evaluate their expected production in light of their pricing.

DFS expert Mike McClure emphasizes the importance of predictive analytics in forming optimal lineups, having named players like Luguentz Dort as hidden gems. This highlights the value of scouting lesser-known players who can deliver strong outputs. Looking ahead, McClure is optimistic about Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards and Pacers' Myles Turner, recommending them as key picks based on recent performances and favorable matchups.
