High Salary and Value SG

Klay Thompson, GS vs SA ($7100): Thompson has averaged 22.7 fantasy points in the playoffs, with a min of 9.2 and a max of 33.2. He has shown nothing thus far to indicate that he is worth anywhere near his price tag, and though he has explosive scoring ability, it is very risky to depend on that showing up for the first time on Tuesday. **

Avery Bradley, BOS vs CLE ($6500): Bradley scored only 17.1 fantasy points in the Game 7 win over the Wizards. Nevertheless, he still averaged about 31 fantasy points over his last three games overall and just under 30 fantasy points in his last four home games. He is a reasonable bounce-back candidate on Wednesday, capable of topping that expected value of around 30 fantasy points. ***

Marcus Smart, BOS vs CLE ($5100): Smart’s splits in the last round had a very strong dependence on location, with an average of about 16 fantasy points on the road but just under 30 fantasy points in four home games. The Conference Finals open up in Boston on Wednesday, giving him a solid chance to reach an upper 20s/lower 30s fantasy points expected value. ****

Potential punts: Danny Green, SA at GS ($4200), Kyle Korver, CLE at BOS ($3500), J.R. Smith, CLE at BOS ($3300), Iman Shumpert, CLE at BOS ($3100), Manu Ginobili, SA at GS ($3000)
