High Salary PF

Blake Griffin-Los Angles Clippers (9,300): Blake looked great in Game One dunking all over the place and finishing with 44.4 fantasy points on 19 points, 12 boards, and six assists. It was his best showing since returning from his multiple injury and suspension issues, and he looked ready to help LA make a nice run in the playoffs. He is still a little risky since we haven’ seen any consistency from him since the injury, but he has huge upside in a very getable matchup. ∗∗

Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (7,300): Love took advantage of a mismatch against the Pistons and had a huge Game One with 45.1 fantasy points on 28 points, 13 rebounds, an assist, and a steal. Hopefully, he can stay aggressive and continue his production because the Pistons don’t have anyone who is going to slow him down. The only risk with Love is that he gets passive, but I think he’ll stay in attack mode and continue to have a monster series. ∗∗∗∗∗

Luol Deng-Miami Heat (6,600): Deng led the Heat to their Game One rout of the Hornets with 31 points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes for 41.9 fantasy points. He has been huge coming down the stretch for Miami and has settled in nicely as a stretch-four since the team acquired Joe Johnson and slid Deng to PF with Chris Bosh out. Deng finished the season on a nice roll posting at least 29 fantasy points in five of his last nine regular season games, and I think he’ll be over that number again tonight against a Hornets team that doesn’t have a good matchup for him in the front court. ∗∗∗∗
