High Salary SG

James Harden-Houston Rockets (10,600): Harden bounced back from just 24.25 fantasy points in Game 1 to post a solid 48.5 fantasy points in Game 2 on 28 points and 11 assists. He is the focus and center of everything the Rockets do offensively, so if they expect to hang with the Curry-less Warriors tonight, they’ll need a big game from “The Beard.” Harden was better across-the-board at home which makes him an interesting star play tonight if you don’t mind his defensive lapses or you can at least overlook them for the sake of your fantasy team.∗∗∗

Klay Thompson-Golden State Warriors (7,400): Thompson had to step up in Game 2 with Steph Curry out and he delivered with 34 points, five assists, and three rebounds on his way to 46.75 fantasy points. He will likely need to help fill in for Curry again tonight making him a great option against Harden’s lack of defense. Earlier this season, Thompson and the Warriors had to visit Houston with Curry and Thompson dropped 38 points to go with seven boards against the Rockets, so look for him to exploit Harden’s matador defense again tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗
