High Salary PF

Paul Millsap-Atalnta Hawks (8,400): As a Celtics fan, being one of the last people on the Millsap bandwagon is awkward, but I expect his offense to come back as he takes on the Celtics in Boston tonight.  He posted 31 points and 16 rebounds against Boston late in the regular season for a massive 72 fantasy points but he has struggled with just 35.75 fantasy points and 19.75 fantasy points in the first two games of the playoffs.  Tonight, he’ll look to get his game back on track, and I think he has the potential to go off if the Celtics keep tonight competitive which is exactly what I think will happen.  His Game 2 dud makes him higher risk, but his potential is still through the rook. ∗∗∗

Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (7,700): Love is clearly a mismatch against the Detroit front line and has stepped up with consecutive double-doubles in Game 1 and Game 2. He had 50.25 fantasy points in Game 1 on 28 points and 13 boards and followed that with 34 fantasy points in Game 2 on 16 points and ten rebounds.  Detroit has struggled with him all season, and Love is a good play again tonight as long as he stays aggressive. ∗∗∗∗

Zach Randolph-Memphis Grizzlies (6,200): the Grizzlies offense is basically “throw the ball to Z-Bo” which hasn’t been especially effective so far this series.  Randolph did end up with a double-double against the Spurs in Game 2 with 11 points and 12 boards on his way to 33.5 fantasy points. He gets a ton of usage, so the potential for a big game at home is definitely there, but the Spurs interior defense is excellent and they obviously know that Randolph is the focus of the Grizzlies attack. I see Z-Bo as a boom-or-bust play in the late game tonight.∗∗
