High Salary SF

Kevin Durant ($11,000): Durant has missed value in both games, but his salary has settled back down to where he needs 48.2 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. You pretty much know what you’re getting out of Durant. He’s going to contribute in all categories and have no issue ending up around 50 fantasy points. *****

Robert Covington ($7,100): Like Durant, Covington has missed value in both games. But he’s not contributing nearly as much as Durant and hasn’t exactly had a ton of success against the Heat this season. His salary has dipped to where he needs 31.1 fantasy points to reach value. I’m not totally in love with him and think he’s a big of a risk given his play against Miami. **

High Value SF

Josh Richardson ($5,800): Richardson had 33.5 fantasy points in Game 2. He’s been a better player at home throughout the season, so returning to Miami after his Game 2 performance should have potential fantasy owners feeling good about his value on Thursday. Look for him to give you around 30 fantasy points. ***

Andre Iguodala ($4,600): Iguodala is listed as a small forward, but he’s been the starting point guard for the Warriors this series. Counting on him to knockdown four 3s again is probably a mistake, but there is no denying his contributions thus far in the series. He’ll be a factor once again. ****
