High Salary PF

LaMarcus Aldridge-San Antonio Spurs (8,700): Like at SF, there are three top-shelf PF plays tonight although they’re all a bit cheaper than the “Big 3” SF. LaMarcus Aldridge has been a force or nature in this series posting 38 and 41 points in the first to contests for 50.5 fantasy points and a massive 60 fantasy points. The Thunder have no answer for LA on defense, so look for him to continue to produce big lines until OKC figures out a way to slow him down.  While I’m not sure he will get to 60 fantasy points again, he should be able to produce at least 45 making him a good buy at this price. ∗∗∗∗

Paul Millsap-Atlanta Hawks (8,600): Millsap has had quiet double-doubles in both the Hawks first two games against the Cavs. He finished with 50.25 fantasy points in 40 minutes in Game 1 and followed that up with 35.75 fantasy points in just 27 minutes in Game 2. If the Hawks can keep tonight’s game closer, Millsap should be near a 20-10 night again and be a solid investment at 8,600. ∗∗∗

Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (8,100): On the other side of that matchup, Love also has two double-doubles after 11 points and 13 rebounds in Game 2 for 32.75 fantasy points. He has at least 30 fantasy points in ever game in the playoffs and should be able to get 35-40 fantasy points if he plays his full minutes tonight after playing only 26 minutes in the Cavs’ Game 2 rout.  Since I do think Atlanta can at least make it competitive tonight, look for Love to play 35 or so minutes and return to his 35 or so fantasy points like in Game 1.∗∗∗
