High Salary and Value SF

Jimmy Butler, CHI vs BOS ($9900): Butler has scored 48.8 and 55 fantasy points in the first two games of the series, on the road, despite sharing the ball with Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade. With Rondo out, Butler likely takes on more of a role as a team offense initiator, which could have a positive impact on his output.  *****

Gordon Hayward, UTA vs LAC ($7300): Hayward has been slightly below average in the first two games of the series, averaging just over 34 fantasy points per game. The action returns to Hayward’s home floor for Game 3, though, and the winner takes control of the series. As the default best player on the team with Rudy Gobert out, Hayward will be called upon to step up. ***

Joe Johnson, UTA vs LAC ($5000): Johnson carried the Jazz to an upset victory in Game 1, but came back to earth with only 17.25 fantasy points in 29 minutes in Game 2. Expect him to continue to get the minutes and opportunity, which could result in another starter-worthy game for Johnson if his shot is falling. ***

Andre Roberson, OKC vs HOU ($4900): Roberson has played well against the Rockets all season. In six games he has averaged 29.8 fantasy points, bolstered by the 35.3 he has averaged in the two playoff games. On Friday, he returns home for Game 3 and will try to keep the momentum going. ****
