High Value C

Al Jefferson-Charlotte Hornets (5,000): 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 30.75 fantasy points in Game 6 on 18 points and nine rebounds. ∗∗∗

Ian Mahinmi-Indiana Pacers (4,100): 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 48.5 fantasy points but only managed 10.5 fantasy points in Game 5.  He is a high-risk play in Game 7, but he definitely has some nice upside at such an affordable price at just over  4K.∗∗

Frank Kaminsky-Charlotte Hornets (3,600): Kaminsky played 36 minutes against the Heat in Game 6 finishing with seven points, seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and two steals for a solid 28.25 fantasy points. He had 27.7 fantasy points in his first start of the series back in Game 3.  He hasn’t had great games in Miami with under 16 fantasy points in the three games in South Beach, but if he gets so much playing time with Batum injured again, Frank the Tank should be a good cheap PF play for Game 7. ∗∗

Bismack Biyombo-Toronto Raptors (3,300): 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 32.5 fantasy points in Game 5 but only played 19 minutes in Game 6 while still totaling ten boards and 18.5 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.∗∗
