High Salary & Value SF
Gordon Hayward, UTA at LAC ($8500): Hayward has stepped up as the impact player for the Jazz in this series. He has scored between 45.6 and 55.8 fantasy points in each of the last three games that he has not had to leave early, and would seemingly have to stay at this level in order for the Jazz to have a chance to take Game 7 on the road. *****
Jae Crowder, BOS vs WAS ($6200): Crowder didn’t live up to his price tag in the first round, having scored between 17.9 and 28.7 fantasy points in all six games. However, Crowder did have trouble against the Bulls all season and now has a chance to reset against the Wizards. He last faced them on March 20, and turned in a 34.1 fantasy point effort. ***
Joe Johnson, UTA at LAC ($5700): Johnson has been an enigma in this series. He has played between 29 and 35 minutes in all six games, but has three games between 29.1 and 42.5 fantasy points and another three games between 14.1 and 17.9 fantasy points. Thus, he’s a risk, but could conceivably step up in Game 7 to fit with his role as a playoff tested veteran with a clutch reputation. ***
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, LA vs UTA ($4300): Mbah a Moute has scored between 17.5 and 27.7 fantasy points in five straight games, including 23.7 in Game 6. Mbah a Moute is a low-ceiling player that has nevertheless been reasonably productive for his price, especially with not a lot of great options on Sunday. **
