High Value SG

Klay Thompson, GS at POR ($7600): Thompson has been essentially invisible in this series so far, scoring 23.6 fantasy points in Game 1 and only 17.4 in Game 2. He’s therefore risky in Game 3, but he’s also the Warriors player that can get scorching from the field in the biggest hurry and there’s still some question as to whether Kevin Durant will be available to play. **

Manu Ginobili, SA at MEM ($2900): This is a punt play, because Ginobili has been so terrible in this series that he’s now priced below the usual FanDuel min. But unless he’s injured, he’s shown all season that he has 20-30 fantasy points in him in a given night, and it usually happens with reasonable regularity. So, it could be worth taking a chance. **

Norman Powell, TOR at MIL ($1800): Powell is an even bigger punt play, because his price is WAY below the usual FanDuel minimum. But, he got minutes in the blowout in Game 3 and produced 21.1 fantasy points. Now, be clear, he’s a huge risk because he only scored four fantasy points in Game 1 and didn’t even play in Game 2. But, it this game becomes another blowout, getting any contribution for almost free would be value and allow you to spend more on other players. *
