CLEVELAND, OH – APRIL 15: Victor Oladipo #4 of the Indiana Pacers reacts to a fourth quarter three point basket while playing the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game One of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals during the 2018 NBA Playoffs at Quicken Loans Arena on April 15, 2018 in Cleveland, Ohio. Indiana won the game 98-80 to take a 1-0 series lead.

High Salary SG

Victor Oladipo ($9,800): Oladipo was only under value in Game 2 due to foul trouble. He was limited to just 28 minutes, but still managed 34.6 fantasy points. Assuming he’s not in foul trouble in Game 3, he should play his usual 35-plus minutes. And if that happens, given the way he’s looked all season and in this series, there’s no doubt that he’ll be over 45 fantasy points. *****

Jaylen Brown ($6,800): There’s a lot to like at shooting guard on Friday. I’ll touch on other players in my game-by-game previews. But I continue to love Brown, even though his salary has jumped to where he needs 29.5 fantasy points. With Jayson Tatum struggling and the Celtics going on the road, Brown is a guy who you can count on to deliver in this situation. He’ll step up once again. ****

High Value SG

Malcolm Brogdon ($4,500): Brogdon played just 19 minutes and finished with 9.6 fantasy points in Game 2. A stark contrast from his 32 minute, 26.3 fantasy point effort in Game 1. Hopefully he sees more minutes in Game 3 with the Bucks returning home, but no one can contribute if they don’t get off the bench. It’s possible the Bucks put him in the starting lineup as they need some kind of spark being down 0-2. Look for a bounce back performance from Brogdon. ***

Kyle Korver ($4,000): Korver had 20.1 fantasy points in Game 2. While the shooting around LeBron James hasn’t exactly shown up, Korver has been a steady hand his entire career and a guy LeBron clearly trusts in these moments. You may like the more erratic, but higher ceiling, J.R. Smith, but I’m a fan of consistency. As long as he starts, he’ll at least hit value. ***
