High Salary C

Anthony Davis ($10,900): Davis was under value in Game 2, which helps you for Game 3 as his salary has dropped. He needs 50.1 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. Expect him to bounce back on Thursday. You know he’s going to post a points-rebounds double-double and I suspect he won’t have as many turnovers as he did in Game 2. *****

LaMarcus Aldridge ($9,400): After failing to gain traction in Game 1, Aldridge looked more like himself in Game 2. He finished with 54 fantasy points. He’s still the best option on the Spurs and if the Warriors continue to sleepwalk on defense, he’ll at least get his points and rebounds. It’s still tough to fully like anyone on the Spurs, but the potential is there with him. ***

High Value C

Kelly Olynyk ($6,100): Olynyk continued his strong postseason play in Game 2, posting 30.75 fantasy points. With Hassan Whiteside looking unplayable until Joel Embiid returns, Olynyk will continue to get the bulk of the minutes in the frontcourt. Expect another solid outing from him on Thursday. ***

Ersan Ilyasova ($5,800): Ilyasova drew the start in Game 2 as the Sixers looked to immediately get Whiteside off the court. It worked with Ilyasova going for 30.25 fantasy points. He’s becoming a double-double machine for Philadelphia and with Embiid still out, he’s going to get plenty of shots and rebounds once more. ****
