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 (3,700): Joseph had a very solid Game 3 in Toronto’s first win of the series contributing 14 points, five rebounds, and three assists off the bench and totaling 22.5 fantasy points. He had 24.5 fantasy points in Game 2 as well, so look for him to stay very involved coming off the bench for the Raptors.  He has been the best non-starting PG  for much of the playoffs and continues to be the best cheap play at this spot.∗∗∗
