High Salary SG

DeMar DeRozan-Toronto Raptors (7,800): 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 (7,600): Thompson is a reliable source of scoring even with Curry back, and he managed 25 points and 39.8 fantasy points in Game 1 thanks to a very nice nine rebounds and four assists.  Thompson took a ton of shots going 11-25 from the field, and he is now averaging 27 points per game in the postseason.  The Warriors will need Klay to keep bringing his best games since they’re in for a great series against the Thunder. ∗∗∗
