This is another tournament-only play but for even more obvious reasons. Nerlens Noel has only once played 17 or more minutes in a game as the primary backup to Steven Adams in Oklahoma City. However, the matchup with Cleveland is basically as good as it gets.

The Thunder are implied at 114.0 points as 6.5-point road favorites, and the Cavs have lost by 12 or more points in four of five home games, including three blowouts of 16 or more. The potential for Noel to see elevated minutes in the 20s lies with that outcome.

The Cavaliers are also 22nd against centers, letting up 58.24 FanDuel points per 48. They are 22nd in rebounding rate as well, which bodes well for Noel and his team-leading 17.6% offensive rebound percentage. All that to say is the upside is there, and it's an ideal play for a potential dropped score slot.
