Stephen Curry-Golden State Warriors (10,900): Curry was excellent in Game 1 before getting hurt and finished with 37.4 fantasy points in just 20 minutes. He is expected to return, and he’ll be fired up to dominate the Rockets in Game 4 this afternoon. His price is a huge risk, but given Curry’s flare for the dramatic this season it wouldn’t be a surprise at all if he comes back and turns in a huge number tonight.∗∗
Isaiah Thomas-Boston Celtics (8,300): Thomas avoided suspension for hitting Dennis Schroder, and he’ll be available for Game 4 in Boston tonight. IT4 had a monster game in Game 3 with 42 points and four rebounds totaling 49.3 fantasy points. He has over 40 fantasy points in two of the three games in this series and will continue to be the focus of the Boston offense tonight as they try to level their series. If Steph’s price is too high, check out Thomas as a solid alternative with plenty of upside. ∗∗∗∗
Kyrie Irving-Cleveland Cavaliers (7,700): Irving is emerging as a strong second option for the Cavs so far in their series against Detroit. He has at least 22 points and 30 fantasy points in each of the first three games in the series highlighted by his explosion in Game 1 for 51 fantasy points. ∗∗∗
Reggie Jackson-Detroit Pistons (7,000): Jackson has also had a good series opposite Kyrie with increasing fantasy points in each contest. He had 38.8 fantasy points in the Pistons’ Game 3 loss on the strength of a solid 13-point, 12-assist double-double. Jackson has been extremely active and involved throughout the series, and with the Pistons trying to fight off elimination look for another big game from him tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗
