High Value PF

Serge Ibaka-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,600): If you can’t afford two of the top three options, Serge is the next best option although his production is iffy especially in such a tough matchup against the Spurs’ solid interior defense. Ibaka had 25 fantasy points in Game 1 and 26.25 fantasy points in Game 2. He should get at least 20 fantasy points tonight, but I’m not sure he can get near 30 fantasy points which is what you’d want if you sink almost 6K into him.  Ibaka is low-risk, but his ceiling is also limited even though he’ll be playing at home.∗∗

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (4,800): Thompson had a very nice Game 1 with 14 boards and eight points in 40 minutes for 32.5 fantasy points. He only played 19 minutes in the rout that was Game 2 so his production dropped to just 15.25 fantasy points. I doubt the Cavs can shoot the lights out again tonight, so look for Thompson to need to play more like his Game 1 workload than his Game 2 respite. ∗∗∗∗

Channing Frye-Cleveland Cavaliers (2,000): Frye was in my picks for Game 2, but I didn’t see him  going off for 23.75 fantasy points as he picked up extra playing time as the Cavs cruised.  He has played significantly more minutes in Round 2 and has totaled 20 points in the first two games of the series. Frye probably won’t get 20 minutes of run tonight, but he is going to bet some playing time and has shown he can contribute coming off the bench making him the cheap dice-roll to look at if you go to the bargain basement at PF. ∗∗
