Channing Frye could play more in Game 5 for Cavaliers
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Channing Frye could see increased playing time on Wednesday in Game 5 against the Toronto Raptors.
Cavs' coach Tyronn Lue said he likes the space-the-court lineup "a lot," and he could use it more moving forward in hopes of limiting Bismack Biyombo's production. Lue has been steadily increasing Frye's minutes throughout the Eastern Conference Finals, and it sounds like Frye's minutes could be in the 25-minute range for Game 5, which could result in less run for Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love. Love hasn't been playing very well at all over the past two contests, so he'll be a bit of a risky DFS play for Game 5.
Frye is averaging 9.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 16 minutes per game this postseason. He has scored in double figures five of Cleveland's last seven postseason games, and his Effective Field Goal Percentage for the playoffs is an insane 80.5 percent, which leads all players.
