High Salary PF

Nikola Mirotic ($7,000): Mirotic was slightly under vale in Game 2 and his salary has lowered to where he needs 32.2 fantasy points to reach value in Game 3. Despite missing value in Game 2, he’s played well during the playoffs and the games prior to the playoffs. He should find even more comfort being back at home. ****

Dario Saric ($6,600): Saric continues to give Miami all they can handle in this series. He’s been trouble for them all season and that hasn’t changed in two playoff games. Until the Heat find a way to slow him down, expect him to be over value. ****

High Value PF

Al-Farouq Aminu ($5,300): Aminu posted 37.25 fantasy points in Game 2. They got plenty out of their role players in Game 2 and the Pelicans will be all too happy to let the Portland role players beat them. He’s been good more often than not against the Pelicans this season and if Jusuf Nurkic is hurting, Portland could go a bit smaller as they search for answers. ***

Rudy Gay ($5,100): Gay was inserted in the starting lineup in Game 2 as the Spurs searched for offense. It worked as he had 29.75 fantasy points. He mainly contributed on defense, which was a bit of a surprise. If nothing else, he’s a reliable scorer for the Spurs. They need any offense they can get against the Warriors. ***
