High Salary SG
James Harden, HOU vs MIN ($11,200): Harden had 67 fantasy points in Game 1. It didn’t matter who Minnesota threw at him, he was carving them up. The Rockets will likely shoot better in Game 2, but that just means more assists and less points for Harden. And if they are cold once again, expect Harden to bail them out. *****
Victor Oladipo ($9,000): Oladipo proved to be a new man in his second taste of the playoffs, finishing with 56.5 fantasy points in Game 1. He’ll probably have a tougher time in Game 2, but doubting Oladipo at this point doesn’t seem right. LeBron James may take on a bigger role on defense, but it may not matter with the team around him. I still have small concerns due to potential adjustments, which doesn’t make him quite a lock. ****
High Value SG
Andrew Wiggins ($5,600): Wiggins was right at value in Game 1. The good news is that his salary has dropped a bit. He’s not a guy who is likely to have a big game, but he’s consistent enough to at least hit value. Who knows, maybe he rises to the occasion at some point. ***
Bojan Bogdanovic ($5,100): Bogdanovic had 30 fantasy points in Game 1. His defense and rebounding was a big reason for Indiana’s Game 1 upset. Can he do it again? With the way the Cavaliers defense operated and the amount of shots they missed, I’m not betting against Bogdanovic. ***
