High Salary and Value PG

Stephen Curry, GS at SA ($10,000): Curry has been the best player in the series thus far, snatching the crown back from teammates Kevin Durant and Draymond Green to the tune of 55.9 and 51.9 fantasy points in the first two games. He has now averaged more than 50 fantasy points in his last three games, distancing himself from the 36 and some change fantasy points that he averaged in the three games before, when Kevin Durant seemed to be asserting his offensive dominance.  ****

Isaiah Thomas, BOS vs CLE ($9200): Thomas scored 49.4 fantasy points in the closeout Game 7 win over the Wizards. This gives him an average of more than 50 fantasy points in his last four home games, going into the home opener of the Conference Finals. Thomas has played well against the Cavaliers this season, averaging well over 40 fantasy points in his regular season meetings. ****

Kyrie Irving, CLE at BOS ($8800): Irving averaged just over 40 fantasy points in four regular season meetings against the Celtics this season. This matches his recent pace in the playoffs, as well, where he has averaged just over 40 fantasy points in his last five games. ****

Patty Mills, SA vs GS ($5200): Mills played only 21 minutes and produced only 11.9 fantasy points in a blowout Game 2 loss. He has averaged around 13 fantasy points in the first two games of the series, which isn’t enough for consideration given his modest but above minimum price point. Mills is one that is a potential bounce-back candidate if Kawhi Leonard is able to play and take some pressure off his teammates.  **
