High Value C

Enes Kanter-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,100): Kanter had a huge Game 1 with 34.25 fantasy points on 16 points and 13 boards and has a tendency to clean up during garbage time when the Thunder second unit gets plenty of extra run.  Since there wasn’t as much of that in a more competitive Game 2, he only played 19 minutes and totaled 17.5 fantasy points on six points and eight boards.  If you choose not to go with Valanciunas tonight, Kanter would be my cost-saving alternative since I expect the Thunder to bounce back and rout the Mavericks again tonight in Game 3. ∗∗∗∗

Andrew Bogut-Golden State Warriors (4,200): Bogut had 28.75 fantasy points in Game 2 and fits well into the offense when Steph Curry is out and the team goes a little more “traditional” with Bogut at the five.  He had ten points, seven boards, and three blocks in that contest, and if he plays over 25 minutes again tonight he’ll be a great bargain.∗∗∗

Steven Adams-Oklahoma City Thunder (3,900): Adams doesn’t have the offensive game that Kanter does, but he gets more time in close games due to his defensive presence.  Adams was milliseconds from being the hero in Game 2 but still finished with nine points, seven rebounds, and 21.25 fantasy points. If you think tonight is going to be a close contest, you could definitely go with Adams over Kanter based on their Game 2 performances. ∗∗∗
