After having just six games to pick their rosters from, there are ten games for FanDuel players to choose from Wednesday night. Among those games is Cleveland's first trip of the season to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks. The Knicks have won four straight games, with their most recent coming in Miami Tuesday night. With this being the second game of a back-to-back for Jeff Hornacek's team, this could be a big night for FanDuel players who decide to load up on Cavaliers. Point guard Kyrie Irving ($7,300) is one player to consider, as he's coming off of a 24-point, seven-assist night in Monday's win over Toronto, and Knicks starting point guard Derrick Rose left Tuesday's game with back spasms. Kevin Love ($7,900) is coming off of a 28-point, 14-rebound effort on Monday, so he'll merit consideration as well. But the big name is LeBron James ($9,600).
James finished Monday's game with 34 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals, and given his feelings about playing at Madison Square Garden Wednesday could be a big night. And then there's the situation between James and Knicks president Phil Jackson, which even if the two principals have nothing to say Wednesday night will be used as a subplot. Not like LeBron will need any extra motivation, but no one would be surprised if he put on a show as a result.
Here are our picks for Wednesday's games, working within the FanDuel rules of a nine-player roster with a $60,000 salary cap. (Getty)
