High Value C

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (4,700): If you have to go under 5K for your fantasy center, Thompson is definitely worth a look since he does good work on the glass when he gets minutes for the Cavs.  He played 28 minutes like the rest of the starters in Game 1 with 14.4 fantasy points on six points, seven rebounds, and a steal.  He continues to start and log almost all the meaningful minutes in the middle for the Cavs, so he makes sense if you have to go under 5K for your center or are at your team max for the Thunder.∗∗∗

Andrew Bogut-Golden State Warriors (3,900): Bogut had 14.1 fantasy points in 17 minutes in Game 1 and 12.7 fantasy points in 16 minutes in Game 2.  The Warriors could definitely use his size and rebounding against the Thunder, but the big Aussie is a health risk at this point even though there’s lots of upside to like at such an affordable price. Bogut should benefit from the three days off, and he could be worth a flier if he gets 20+ minutes in Game 3.∗

Festus Ezeli-Golden State Warriors (3,500): Another possible flier to consider form Golden State is Festus Ezeli who played 14 effective minutes in Game 2 with 12 points, five boards, an assist, and a block for 20.5 fantasy points. After an injury sidelined him for much of the year, Ezeli could be a huge boost to the Warriors if he can give them an athletic big off the bench.
