This year's Eastern Conference Finals are as unpredictable as ever. The Miami Heat rebounded from their latest blowout loss by edging out the Boston Celtics in TD Garden despite Jimmy Butler missing more than half the game. Marcus Smart and Robert Williams are questionable for Game 3 on Monday, while Tyler Herro has been ruled out. Need help sorting out your NBA DFS lineup for the matchup ahead of lock? We've broken down an ideal DraftKings Showdown strategy here.

Ameer Tyree got his start in NBA DFS over four years ago. The former DraftKings Nation betting and fantasy writer spent over a year and a half breaking down basketball slates to build optimal lineups there. He suggested that fantasy managers should sit Maxi Kleber in Sunday's Dallas Mavericks-Golden State Warriors game, and the big man was held scoreless with four rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes. Now he's turned his attention to Monday's one-game slate.

One utility play Ameer loves: Kyle Lowry at $6,600. "Lowry posted modest stats in his return from a four-game layoff, but returned more than 5X value by tallying 11 points, six assists, and four steals. Miami could have to lean on him a little more with Herro ruled out. The playmaking guard appeared in 12 games without Herro during the regular season," Ameer says about the matchup.
