High Salary PF

Blake Griffin-Los Angeles Clippers (8,400): The best news about Blake has been that he looks healthy in his first two games of this year’s NBA Playoffs.  After missing much of the regular season, Griffin totaled 47.5 fantasy points in Game 1 on 19 points, 12 boards, and six assists.  His numbers were a little down in Game 2 with just 29.75 fantasy points, but the game was another rout by the Clippers so its hard to say exactly how far Blake could carry LA if called upon to do so.  Griffin is dominating his matchup against the Blazers down low, so look for another good game from him tonight even though he’s an extremely spend investment. ∗∗

Dirk Nowitzki-Dallas Mavericks (6,100): Despite a bone bruise suffered in Game 2, Dirk has his best game of the series in Game 3 totaling 37 fantasy points on 16 points, six rebounds, five assists, and a pair of blocks on Thursday.  He has been over 21 fantasy points in all three contests this postseason, but he seems to bring his best in front of his home crowd in Dallas. Expect more of the same fro the veteran tonight even though he is less than 100% physically. ∗∗∗

Serge Ibaka-Oklahoma City Thunder (6,000): Serge has been strong in all three games against Dallas with at least 29 fantasy points in each contest and double-digit scoring in each of those games.  He had 17 points and nine boards in Game 1 for 37.75 fantasy points, followed that with 12 points and eight rebounds in Game 2 for 29 fantasy points, and finished with 16 points and six rebounds for 33.5 fantasy points in Game 3.  He should be good for another game around 30 fantasy points which makes him a good investment at 6K tonight. ∗∗∗∗
