High Salary PF

Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (9,900): Green’s price dropped from his Game 1 level and this is a little more realistic for the Warriors’ PF extraordinaire. Green had 23 points in Game 1 and finished with 40.25 fantasy points. It isn’t as good a matchup for Green as when he dominated against the Blazers, so I think his salary is a bit high since I think he’ll be closer to 40 fantasy points than 55 fantasy points for the rest of this series. ∗∗

Kevin Love-Cleveland Cavaliers (8,400): Love is a solid high-mid play in Game 1 as he faces the Raptors for the fourth time this season. In his three regular season games against Toronto, Love averaged 18.3 points, and 10.3 rebounds to go with three assists, a block, and a steal. Love has had a very strong postseason so far with a double-double in all eight of Cleveland’s postseason games and at least 32 fantasy points in each contest. He had over 45 fantasy points in both of the Cavs closeout wins in Atlanta with at least 21 points and 13 boards in each of those two contests. With the Raptors banged up in the front court, Love should be able to put together another nice series in the Conference Finals. ∗∗∗
