High Salary SF

Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (9,800): Durant’s scoring was up in Game 2, but he didn’t produce hardly any non-scoring stats and also had eight turnovers. He was limited to just 31.7 fantasy points despite his 29 points after totaling 45.5 fantasy points in Game 1 while scoring 26 points. Durant played 11 fewer minutes in Game 2 which was a result of the game getting away from OKC late, but since he’ll be back at home in OKC for Game 3 on Sunday, I think he’ll have a monster game in a matchup he usually thrives in against the Warriors. ∗∗∗∗

LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (9,800): LeBron only had to play 28 minutes in Game 1 but still managed a solid 39.2 fantasy points on 24 points, six rebounds, four assists, and two steals. He has at least 39 fantasy points in every playoff game, but because he’s not carrying the load alone or in late/tight contests like KD, I think he’s a little less of a threat to go off with a huge number. LeBron is definitely capable of just as much as Durant, but since he isn’t being forced to play huge minutes he isn’t matching Durant’s output so far. ∗∗∗
