High Salary C

Jusuf Nurkic ($7,500): Nurkic is currently listed as questionable with a leg injury, which caused him to see limited action in Game 2. Even if he ends up playing, he could be limited once again. At this price, there is little reason to take a risk with him. The upside just isn’t there with the injury. Best case scenario, he’s right around value. Worst case scenario, he barely plays and you’re out $7,500. *

High Value C

JaVale McGee ($3,600): McGee is listed as questionable. Check his status before making any decisions. Assuming he plays, he should provide his usual production against the Spurs. He’s been able to bother the Spurs all season with his athleticism and San Antonio simply doesn’t have an answer for him. **

Zach Collins ($3,500): If Nurkic can’t play, Collins could be the biggest beneficiary. He’s played over 20 minutes in both games, going over value in each contest. Even if Nurkic ends up playing, Collins looks to have a permanent spot in the rotation and he’s productive in those minutes. Like McGee, he’s a nice low cost option who can push 20 fantasy points. ***
