High Salary SF

Kevin Durant ($10,300): Durant’s salary has dropped as he’s not posting big games against the Spurs. He’s just going about his business as the top option and still delivering around 50 fantasy points. Unless he and the Warriors just have an off-night, he’ll be around 50 fantasy points once again. *****

Ben Simmons ($10,200): Simmons continues to deliver in his first postseason. He’s been over 50 fantasy points in both games. It doesn’t matter who the Heat throw at him, his combination of size and athleticism is too much for them. Being on the road will be slightly tougher on him, but if Donovan Mitchell is any reference, Simmons should be just fine. *****

High Value SF

Josh Richardson ($5,500): Richardson had 31.25 fantasy points in Game 2. He’s been a better player at home than on the road this season, so his Game 2 performance is encouraging as the series shifts to Miami. He’s been inconsistent against the Sixers this season, but things look good for him in Game 3. ***

Maurice Harkless ($4,200): Harkless returned to the lineup in Game 2 and contributed 19.25 fantasy points. If Evans Turner is unable to play, Markless should be back in the starting lineup. If that’s the case, expect him to be over 20 fantasy points in Game 3. ***
