High Salary PF

Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (8,600): Millsap had an up-and-down first round highlighted by a monster Game 4 when he had 74.1 fantasy points, but he was  held under half that number in the other five games in the series. Millsap is a tough matchup for the Cavs and averaged a double-double against them in three meetings this season with 17.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 2.0 steals per game. Millsap has huge potential to go off against the so-so defense of Kevin Love, but he also has a significant amount of risk after an inconsistent Round 1. ∗∗

LaMarcus Aldridge-San Antonio Spurs (8,100): Aldridge lit up the Thunder for 38 points in his 30 minutes on Saturday and added six rebounds and a pair of blocks to get to 48.7 fantasy points. Aldridge played limited minutes in the Spurs’ first round triumph but looks ready to people them forward as he becomes the focus of the San Antonio attack.  He did have good numbers against the Thunder in the regular season as well, but he shot the ball at a 78% clip in Game 1 making 18-23 from the field.  While I don’t think he’ll repeat that kind of red-hot performance, the Thunder don’t have any good answers for the San Antonio big man so there is a ton of upside to starting LA tonight in Game 2. ∗∗∗∗

Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (7,500): Love had a good opening series like many of the Cavs although it seems like a long time ago that he posted four double-doubles in four games and posted at least 30 fantasy points in each of the Cavs’ four wins against Detroit.  Like LeBron and Kyrie, he should be well-rested and ready to go against Atlanta. In their regular season meetings, Love averaged 16.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.3 steals.∗∗∗
