The NBA playoff landscape intensifies as Game 2 approaches, with the Cleveland Cavaliers looking to rebound against the Indiana Pacers after a surprising Game 1 upset. Injury concerns plague the Cavaliers, particularly with Evan Mobley and Darius Garland both listed as questionable. Should either miss, it opens avenues for value plays like Dean Wade and Ty Jerome, enhancing their DFS appeal.

The Cavaliers are favored by 9 points, despite Indiana's success in their recent matchups, winning four of five meetings during the season. The projected total for this game sits at 229.5, with the Pacers having previously exceeded it. The Minnesota Timberwolves host the Golden State Warriors as 7-point favorites, benefitting from a significant rest advantage.
