High Salary & Value C

Marc Gasol, MEM at SA ($7600): Gasol was the star of Game 1 for the Grizzlies, scoring 32 points with five boards, two assists and two blocks in 34 minutes. He, along with Mike Conley, were doing the heavy lifting to keep the Grizzlies in the game through 2.5 quarters before the Spurs blew them out late. Gasol had even more upside, but the blowout nature of the game kept him on the bench down the stretch. For Game 2 to be competitive, Gasol will have to turn in another big game. ****

Myles Turner, IND at CLE ($6700): Turner scored 11 points with eight rebounds, four steals, an assist and a blocked shot in his playoffs debut. This continued his strong finish to the season, giving him now four straight games between 31 and 44 fantasy points. His steals were a bit unusual, though, so for him to match/surpass this effort in Game 2 hell have to do a bit better putting the ball in the hole. ***

Tristan Thompson, CLE vs IND ($4700): Thompson turned in eight points, 13 boards and an assist in 31 minutes of Game 1. This was his second game back from injury, and his first playing full minutes. His production was very similar to the last time he faced the Pacers on April 2, though in fewer minutes, and thus makes a solid expected value for Game 2. ***
