High Salary and Value C

Al Horford, BOS vs CLE ($8000): Horford scored 28.6 fantasy points in Game 1, his third straight effort of between 24.9 and 31.7 fantasy points, and his fifth in his last six outings. He has been solid but unspectacular of late, after beginning the playoffs with more big games mixed in. This makes him a high floor player, but one whose ceiling is currently in a bit of question. ***

Pau Gasol, SA vs GS ($6100): Gasol managed only  17.1 fantasy points in 16 minutes of Game 2, after 11.9 fantasy points in 16 minutes of Game 1. In both games, the Warriors’ small ball game pretty much kept him off the court. Gasol has played well, when he plays, since moving into the starting lineup in Game 2 of the Rockets series. But until he earns a bigger role in this series, he’s not worth anywhere near his price point. *

Tristan Thompson, CLE at BOS ($5100): Thompson popped for 20 points and nine rebounds in Game 1 after averaging 12 points and 12 rebounds in four games against them in the regular season. He is big and athletic enough to help control the paint against a Celtics squad that lacks dominant size. ****

Potential Punt Plays: Kelly Olynyk, BOS vs CLE ($4800), Javale McGee ($4000)
