High Salary and Value SF

LeBron James, CLE at BOS ($12,500): James has scored between 52.1 and 77.6 fantasy points in all nine playoff games to date. He scored 61.3 fantasy points in Game 1 and averaged just under 60 fantasy points in four regular season games against the Celtics this season. Thus, by both accounts, his expected value lies somewhere around 60 fantasy points on Friday night. ****

Kawhi Leonard, SA vs GS ($11,000): Leonard is still listed as questionable to play on Saturday after missing Game 2 with his ankle injury. There is a four-day layoff between games, which could help him, but no official word has come down yet. This makes him extraordinarily risky to put on your DFS squad, especially given his max price point. *

Kevin Durant, GS at SA ($10,000): Durant managed only 22.9 fantasy points in 28 minutes of an absolute laugher of a blowout in Game 2. Without Kawhi Leonard, the Spurs were unable to put up even a token defense, and Durant was able to glide through the game without much effort. It is unknown whether Leonard will be able to return for Game 3 on Saturday, but it is in San Antonio, so there is some hope that the Spurs will be more competitive on their home court. In a twist of fate, Durant actually projects to a better game if the two-time defending Defensive Player of the Year is able to suit up opposite him. ****

Jae Crowder, BOS vs CLE ($6300): Crowder had his 3-point shot working on Wednesday, one of the only Celtics capable of making that claim, and it resulted in a playoffs-best 38.1 fantasy points. Crowder theoretically has a tough match-up against LeBron James, but if his shot is going he should continue to maintain an expected value of around 30 fantasy points per game.

Potential Punt Plays: Jonathon Simmons, SA vs GS ($4300), Kyle Anderson, SA vs GS ($2500)
