High Salary and Value PF

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA vs GS ($8000): Aldridge plummeted back to earth in Game 2, turning in only 20.3 fantasy points in 27 minutes of a blowout loss to the Warriors. Kawhi Leonard’s absence could have led to more opportunity for Aldridge, but instead he seemed unable to seize the moment as he and his teammates floundered. Leonard is questionable to return on Saturday, but the game will be played in San Antonio, so Aldridge makes a solid bounce-back candidate on his home court. He’s also one of only three above-min priced power forward options available.  ****

Draymond Green, GS vs SA ($8600): Green bounced back with 39.8 fantasy points in only 28 minutes in Game 2, recovering from a nine points with seven boards, seven assists and two steals effort as Green and Stephen Curry touched off the blowout of the Kawhi Leonard-less Spurs in Game 2, and he is likely to continue his great postseason run on Saturday in San Antonio. ****

Kevin Love, CLE at BOS ($7500): Love alternated between fantasy scores in the teens and in the 30s for the entirety of his series against the Raptors, and has only scored over 40 fantasy points once in eight playoff games. But the Celtics are not strong in the middle, which offers the chance for for both Love and Tristan Thompson to play well. **

Potential Punt Plays: Channing Frye, CLE at BOS ($3500), David West, GS at SA ($3200)
