Cavaliers still don't know if Lebron James (ankle) will play Tuesday
Cleveland Cavaliers coach Ty Lue said he "really doesn't know" if forward LeBron James (ankle) will play in the season opener against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday.
What It Means:
James participated in a light practice on Monday, and he was getting some shots up after practice and reportedly looked good. It would be surprising to see him miss his chance at revenge against Kyrie Irving and the Celtics, but that does appear to be a possibility. If James is out, Kevin Love and Derrick Rose immediately become big time DFS values, while Channing Frye and Jae Crowder would also likely see their minutes spike in the event James is out.
Ranked 13th overall in our season-long fantasy rankings, James is projected for 54.3 FanDuel points at a cost of $10,400 on Tuesday's opening night slate.
