Serge Ibaka-Oklahoma City Thunder (5,200): Ibaka has played a ton of minutes throughout the series against Golden State and that continued in Game 5 when he logged 40 minutes on the floor and totaled 27.1 fantasy points on 13 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. He has at least 26 fantasy points in five of his last six playoff games and had 30.6 and 26.4 fantasy points in the Thunder’s pair of home wins. Back at home for Game 6, Ibaka is a key contributor for the Thunder and can be for your fantasy team as well. ∗∗∗∗
Channing Frye-Cleveland Cavaliers (4,100): When Kevin Love struggles, it’s Frye who has been stepping up for the Cavs, but he didn’t have to do much in the Game 5 rout. Frye only played 13 minutes and finished with seven points and 11.6 fantasy points in his lowest output of the series. He did play a bigger role in the two games in Toronto finishing with 22.6 and 20.7 fantasy points, and he could be in for 20+ minutes if Love again struggles in Game 6.∗∗∗
Patrick Patterson-Toronto Raptors (3,700): Patterson usually gets plenty of minutes for the Raptors but his production sometimes comes and goes. In Game 5, he played only 19 minutes, though, and finished with just a single fantasy point. While Channing Frye comes off the bench, I think he’s slightly more reliable than Patterson especially now that Jonas Valanciunas is back to take some of the front court minutes as well.∗∗
