High Salary SF

LeBron James ($12,100): Here’s one guy you can’t have to worry about on the Cavaliers. And after losing Game 1, I would not want to be the Pacers in Game 2. LeBron is going to kill himself trying to carry Cleveland to victory on Wednesday. The team around him might not be good enough, but LeBron will deliver once again. *****

Paul George ($8,000): There’s a chance he doesn’t shoot as well as he did in Game 1. But I’m not doubting Playoff P. Utah will likely make some sort of adjustment to make life more difficult on George, but they don’t have a guy who can defend him one-on-one when he gets rolling like he did on Sunday. ****

High Value SF

Joe Ingles ($6,600): Ingles was a non-factor in Game 1 thanks to the defense of George. The Jazz have to find a better way to get Ingles involved because he’s the driving force behind their offense. If Mitchell is out, that puts more pressure on Ingles to deliver. He’s a risk because George is one of the best defenders in the league and can neutralize Ingles much the same way he did in Game 1. **

Bojan Bogdanovic ($5,000): Bogdanovic had 31.7 fantasy points in Game 1. His rebounding numbers were up thanks to the Cavaliers missing a lot of shots. If the Cavaliers decide to attack Oladipo in a different way, it could open things up for Bogdanovic to burn them from behind the arc. ***
