High Value C

Al Jefferson-Charlotte Hornets (5,800): Jefferson has been steadily solid throughout the series against Miami despite having to deal with Hassan Whiteside (who has been banged up).  Big Al has at least 25 fantasy points in four of the last five games and posted 29.8 fantasy points in Game 6 on 18 points and nine rebounds. ∗∗∗

Ian Mahinmi-Indiana Pacers (4,900): Mahinmi has been up and down throughout the series against Toronto as he has battled injury.  He had a monster Game 4 with 22 points and ten boards for 45.5 fantasy points but only managed 9.2 fantasy points in Game 5.  He is a high-risk play in Game 7, but he definitely has some nice upside at under 5K.∗∗

Enes Kanter-Oklahoma City Thunder (4,700): Kanter has great upside even though he’ll be taking on the Spurs tonight in Game 1.  He had 17 points and 16 boards against San Antonio in a spot start at the end of the regular season for a massive 35.2 fantasy points and he carried the momentum of a strong finish into the first round when he had three games of at least 30 fantasy points in the five games against Dallas.  Kanter did only have 6.5 fantasy points against the Mavs in the last game of that series which shows he is still risky since his playing time fluctuates coming off the bench. Kanter is a good source of points and rebounds when he’s producing coming off the bench, but he does sometimes get his run in blowouts which is definitely not what I expect tonight against San Antonio. ∗∗∗∗

Bismack Biyombo-Toronto Raptors (4,100): Biyombo continues to produce as the defensive half of the Raptors center rotation and has at least eight rebounds in all but one of the six games in this series.  He had 29.7 fantasy points in Game 5 but only played 19 minutes in Game 6 while still totaling ten boards and 18 fantasy points. He’s the best cheap center option for the weekend, and he makes sense as he faces the Pacers again in Game 7 in the final game on Sunday night.∗∗
