High Value PF

Serge Ibaka-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,600): Ibaka was abused by LaMarcus Aldridge in Game 1, but he did score a playoff-high 19 points in his 29 minutes.  He only added a pair of rebounds to get to 25 fantasy points, but he’ll need to be more active on the glass if he and the Thunder want to keep tonight’s game closer. I expect him to be back on the board enough tonight to get over 25 fantasy points making him a decent mid-range option. ∗∗∗

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (4,100): Thompson only managed 15 or more fantasy points once in the Cavs’ first round series. He did have a strong game in Game 3 with eight points, ten boards, and two blocks for 27.5 fantasy points and played 30+ minutes in three of the four contests.  He will get plenty of time on the floor again tonight as the Cavs take on Atlanta, but its unclear how productive he’ll be against Horford and Millsap.∗∗

Boris Diaw-San Antonio Spurs (2,900): The best cheap PF who I’d look at tonight in Boris Diaw.  While he hasn’t reached 20 fantasy points in each of the Spurs’ five playoff games, he has at least 14 fantasy points in each of those five contests and gives a solid level of production on a nightly basis. Diaw only played 18 minutes in Game 1 against OKC, but he finished with six points, four assists, and four rebounds for 16.5 fantasy points. He should be able to produce around that number again tonight making him the PF play at the minimum with the most upside. ∗∗
