High Value SF

Joe Johnson-Miami Heat (4,700): While he didn’t quite reach LeBron or Bazemore levels, Joe Johnson had a good game against the Raptors in Game 1 posting  a postseason-high 30.4 fantasy points on 16 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals.  He played 42 minutes in the overtime contest and will continue to have a huge workload going forward especially in a more small ball matchup than the Heat faced in Round 1 with Frank Kaminsky and Al Jefferson.  Johnson is a multi-category threat again in Game 2, so give him a look if your budget won’t let you grab Bazemore and LeBron. ∗∗∗

DeMarre Carroll-Toronto Raptors (4,400): Carroll looks like he’s getting back to 100% as he played 37 minutes for the second game in a row in Game 1.  He scored ten points to go with four rebounds, a block, and two steals for 18.8 fantasy points in that contest.  He’s still a huge wild card since his production varies but he has scored in double-digits in four of Toronto’s last six games.  With some of Toronto’s regular offensive options struggling, Carroll could help pick up the slack as he returns to full speed. ∗∗
