High Value PG

Shaun Livingston-Golden State Warriors (4,500): Livingston is the best of the backup PG plays, but he is also the most expensive and still in a very high-risk position coming off the bench behind Steph Curry. Livingston played just 17 minutes in Game 2 but did have 11.3 fantasy points after just 8.1 fantasy points in Game 1. Livingston is a better option than Cory Joseph straight-up, but if you can use the 1,000 in salary to upgrade elsewhere, I’d go with CoJo as your cheap PG play if you don’t stack two of the three recommended high-salary options. ∗∗

Cory Joseph-Toronto Raptors (3,500): Joseph played 27 minutes in Game 2 and ended up with a very nice 24.5 fantasy points. His playing time ticks up when Kyle Lowry or DeMar DeRozan struggle, so look for him to produce if Lowry has another off game. CoJo finished Game 2 with 11 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals in his best stat line of his last ten playoff games. The Raptors need to get scoring from their bench if they want to make this a series, and Joseph is one of the places that offensive production can start.∗∗∗
