Celtics starting Gerald Green over Amir Johnson in Game 2
The Boston Celtics will start forward Gerald Green in place of Amir Johnson for Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, according to Brian Robb of Boston.com.
What It Means:
Johnson played only five minutes in Game 1 but posted a -3 plus/minus. Green played 13 minutes and was a plus 10. Don't expect a significant rise in Green's minutes because he is starting. Rookie Jaylen Brown stands to benefit the most and will likely play more than Green and Johnson combined. He is the best choice of the trio to play in DFS.
Our models project Brown for 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 22.3 minutes of action in Game 2.
