High Salary SG

James Harden ($12,200): Harden got whatever he wanted in Game 1. The guys around him were cold from beyond the arc, which led to Harden taking on a bigger scoring load. It doesn’t matter who is trying to guard him right now because he’s toying with everything. Don’t expect that to change in Game 2. *****

Victor Oladipo ($9,800): Oladipo was unafraid of Playoff LeBron in Game 1, matching him with 56.2 fantasy points. It’s possible that LeBron steps up and guards Oladipo from the jump in Game 2. That may limit what he’s able to do. But that’s simply guesswork by me. If it doesn’t happen, Oladipo will have no problem carving up a weak Cavaliers defense. ****

High Value SG

Andrew Wiggins ($6,200): Wiggins was slightly under value in Game 1. As I said prior to Game 1, you sort of know what you’re getting from Wiggins. He’s going to be a complete bust or he’s going to do just enough to be around value. Until he shows he can rise to the challenge, that’s just who he is right now. He’ll be around 25 fantasy points, but don’t expect much more. ***

Rodney Hood ($4,200): I don’t love Hood, but I don’t exactly love any other value shooting guard either. If nothing else, Hood starts the game playing next to LeBron James. There’s a lot of Cavaliers in this category and chances are one of them will perform better in Game 2. You can throw a dart and likely end up with the correct answer. *
