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 managed only 31.2 fantasy points in Game 1, though that did come from a 17-point/10-assist double-double. Thomas has played well against the Cavaliers this season, averaging well over 40 fantasy points in his regular season meetings, so he could be in for a bounce-back on Friday. ****

Kyrie Irving, CLE at BOS ($8800): Irving managed only 26.4 fantasy points in Game 1 as Kevin Love was the second star that stepped up with LeBron. Irving averaged just over 40 fantasy points in four regular season meetings against the Celtics this season, though, and had also averaged just over 40 fantasy points in the five games leading up to Game 1, so he could also be in for a bounce-back on Friday. ***

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, but only if Kawhi Leonard is able to play and take some pressure off his teammates.  **
