High Salary SG

DeMar DeRozan-Toronto Raptors (7,900): DeRozan stepped up along with Kyle Lowry to help get the Raptors to the Conference Finals.  He’ll need to continue scoring plenty of points if the Raps want to keep up with the hot-shooting Cavaliers in this round, though. DeRozan had 28 points and eight boards for 36.1 fantasy points in Game 7 and totaled over 35 fantasy points in four of the seven games in the last round and six of his last ten overall.  He has sky-high potential, but I still don’t trust him fully given his earlier playoff struggles and his bothersome thumb injury.

Klay Thompson-Golden State Warriors (7,900): While Thompson’s role in the offense is definitely reduced with Steph Curry back onto floor, he still managed 23 and 33 points in the final two games against the Blazers totaling over 33 fantasy points in each of the five games in the series.  Thompson presents a mismatch for the Thunder who allowed him to shoot over 52% from the field on his way to 23.7 points per game in the teams’ three meetings this season.  Klay is still a good play even with Curry back.
