LeBron James scores 15 points in Cavaliers' Game 1 loss
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James was limited to 15 points on 5-for-16 shooting in Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Boston Celtics. James added 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 blocks and 7 turnovers across 36 minutes.
What It Means:
The Celtics' defense was strong on James, and Marcus Morris backed up his statements before the game about being the best option to guard James. The Cavs were forced to settle for a lot of long range jump shots, as James wasn't getting anywhere close to the driving lanes he got in the series against Toronto. Game 2 is scheduled for Tuesday night in Boston.
Our early models for Game 2 project James for 58.9 FanDuel points.
