The Miami Heat were underdogs ahead of their Game 1 meeting with the Boston Celtics earlier this week, but pulled off an impressive upset to secure a 1-0 lead against their Eastern Conference rivals. Game 2 of the third-round series is set for Friday and many expect the home team to bounce back after their latest loss. Need a hand finalizing your DFS lineups on DraftKings? We've got you covered with a strategy breakdown ahead of tip-off.

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. Now he's turned his attention to Friday's one-game slate.

One captain Ameer loves: Jayson Tatumm at $18,000. "Tatum was a dud in Game 1 despite scoring 30 points and making all 11 of his free throw attempts. The Celtics star uncharacteristically disappeared down the stretch and wasn't the focal point of the offense in a close game. He recorded fewer than 20 shots for the second time this postseason. Fantasy managers should expect a heightened level of aggression from Tatum in Game 2," Ameer says about the matchup.
