High Salary C

Bismack Biyombo-Toronto Raptors (6,100): Valanciunas has officially been ruled out of Game 1 which will leave the middle for Bismack Biyombo to prowl once again as the Raptors face the Cavs. Biyombo had a monster game in Game 7 yesterday finishing with 17 points and 16 boards for a massive 44 fantasy points. Biyombo has at least 26 fantasy points in each of the four games he filled in for Valanciunas, and he’ll look to keep his momentum going against the Cavs.  He isn’t in quite as good of a matchup as he was last series against the Heat missing Hassan Whiteside, but he is still the safest big man on the board in the Game 1’s the next two days. ∗∗∗

Steven Adams-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,900): Adams wasn’t slowed down at all by a tricky matchup against the Warriors and continued his postseason success.  Adams had 16 points and 12 rebounds in 37 minutes posting a very-nice-for-the-price 36 fantasy points. Adams has over 34 fantasy points in four of his last six playoff games and doesn’t look like the Warriors will be able to scheme him off the floor or out of the paint in the Conference Finals. ∗∗∗∗
