PORTLAND, OR – APRIL 14: Jrue Holiday #11 of the New Orleans Pelicans tries to get past Wade Baldwin IV #2 of the Portland Trail Blazers during the first quarter of game one of the the first round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs at the Moda Center on April 14, 2018 in Portland, Oregon.

High Salary SG

Jrue Holiday ($8,400): Holiday had 52.1 fantasy points in Game 2. He’s been a fantastic second option next to Anthony Davis and he’s upped his game in the playoffs. The Blazers will have to do a better job on him if they hope for a comeback. But at this salary, he remains a solid play. ****

CJ McCollum ($7,200): McCollum has been over value in both games. He’s done his job for the most part for Portland. The Pelicans continue to takeaway Lillard, putting a bigger scoring onus on McCollum. He’s reliable enough to give you at least 30 fantasy points. ***

High Value SG

Klay Thompson ($6,500): The Spurs don’t exactly have an answer for anyone on the Warriors right now, but Thompson is the guy who continues to get anything he wants against them. Maybe he shoots a bit worse on the road, but given how he’s looked thus far, that’s probably just wishful thinking if you’re a Spurs fan. Expect another big outing from the All-Star. ****

J.J. Redick ($5,600): Redick was under value in Game 2 and his salary has dropped to where he needs 24.5 fantasy points to reach value in Game 3. Marco Belinelli has been the better option than him thus far, but Belinelli now commands a higher salary and I don’t like him quite as much on the road. Look for Redick to have a bounce back game on Thursday. ***
