High Salary PF

Ben Simmons ($10,200): There’s a lot to like at power forward on Thursday. I’ll discuss guys not mentioned here in by game previews on upcoming slides. When it comes to Simmons, he’s been fantastic in both games and the Heat don’t have a clear answer for him. Maybe he struggles in his first road playoff game, but it seems foolish to bank on that given his season and first two playoff games. *****

Nikola Mirotic ($8,000): Mirotic was slightly under value in Game 2, but still played an overall strong game. Now that he’s back at home, he should be even more comfortable. He’s not going to hurt you as much as Davis if he doesn’t quite deliver and can be counted upon to give you around 35 fantasy points. ****

High Value PF

Dario Saric ($6,400): Saric keeps getting it done for the Sixers. He followed up his 30.7 fantasy point performance in Game 1 with 47.1 fantasy points in Game 2. Miami has had no answer for him all season and with Joel Embiid out, he’s taken on a bigger role in the offense. Until they can stop him, keep taking him. ****

Kelly Olynyk ($6,300): Olynyk looks to be the best option for Miami in the frontcourt this series as Hassan Whiteside can’t stay on the floor. He’s playing 30-plus minutes a night and contributing in all categories. Expect him around 30 fantasy points once again. ***
