Golden State Warriors DFS Notes

Draymond Green dished out seven dimes during Sunday's Game 2 win over Boston, adding nine points, five rebounds, one steal and one block over 35 minutes. Green said that one of the adjustments the Warriors needed to make following their Game 1 loss was to be more physical on defense, and he set the tone tonight, tying up Robert Williams for a jump ball in the first possession of the game. He also did a much better job picking his spots in the offense while setting up his guys, and after coughing up the rock three times in Game 1, he finished this one with just one turnover in the 107-88 statement win.

Boston Celtics DFS Notes

Robert Williams (left knee soreness) is questionable to play in Game 3 of the Finals on Wednesday in Boston. Williams was cleared to play in Game 2, but he only ended up playing 14 minutes. He went down after Marcus Smart fell into his knee, and he tried to play through it. He ended up not seeing much time the rest of the game, though Ime Udoka said that he is just fine. If he can't play, Grant Williams will likely slide back into the starting unit. Some of Grant Williams and Al Horford's best games this postseason have come when Robert Williams was unavailable to play.
