High Value SF

Luol Deng — Miami Heat (6,900) **

If Dwyane Wade is injured, then Luol Deng will be one of several Heat players forced to pick up the slack. Even if Wade isn’t injured, expect the Heat to try and work the paint. Deng is an artist in the post, and is a real weapon against smaller players. While Deng isn’t the best athlete in the world, he can play valuable minutes and provide points.

DeMarre Carroll — Toronto Raptors (4,300) **

DeMarre Carroll is a risky pick. His production is trending upwards, but it can be hard to know which Carroll you are drafting. Sometimes Carroll is an all around statistics collector. He can score, pass, and rebound. Other times he can shoot poorly from the field and get out boarded by smaller players. However, in a series as tight as this one is, expect him to play very well.
