High Salary SF

LeBron James ($12,500): If Kevin Love is unable to play in Game 3, James will have to do even more than he did in Game 2. That sounds nearly impossible given what he did in Game 2, but no one else for the Cavaliers is contributing all that much on offense in this series. It doesn’t matter how high his salary climbs, LeBron is going to deliver. *****

Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11,500): Antetokounmpo continues to give Boston all kinds of trouble in multiple ways, he just hasn’t had a whole lot of help in this series. The Celtics are fine giving him what he wants, he’s going to get it anyway, as long as everyone else continues to play under value. Like LeBron, there’s little doubting Antetokounmpo. *****

High Value SF

Bojan Bogdanovic ($5,400): Bogdanovic missed value in Game 2, but should look more comfortable in Game 3. He’s a role player who can get hot from deep. The Cavaliers offense has little better than expect in this series, but let’s see how that holds up on the road. Look for a bounce back performance from Bogdanovic. ***

Kelly Oubre Jr. ($4,400): Oubre Jr. had an impact in Game 2 as the Wizards bench played possibly their best game of the season. Like Bogdanovic, he’s a role player who can contribute, especially with the Wizards down 0-2 and back at home. The Wizards best shot is to play small ball, which means more minutes for Oubre Jr. If you’re grabbing LeBron, you’ll probably need Oubre Jr. to offset that salary. ***
