High Salary SF
Ben Simmons ($9,600): The Heat have no answer for Simmons. And with Joel Embiid back in the lineup, they seemingly have no answer for the Sixers. Simmons has been over 50 fantasy points in all three games and until the Heat prove they can stop him, there’s no reason to doubt him. His salary has dropped, which helps his case even more on Saturday. *****
Paul George ($8,000): Regular P showed up in Game 2, but it was still good enough for 40 fantasy points. He needs 36.8 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. He’s admitted that he’s not 100 percent on offense due to the hip contusion, which is troubling. But he’s still the second best player on the team and gets every opportunity he wants to produce. ****
High Value SF
Al-Farouq Aminu ($5,500): Aminu has been great in the last two games, going over 35 fantasy points in both contests. He’s knocking down shots and pitching in on the boards. On top of that he’s done a solid job on Anthony Davis throughout the series. He’s delivering while the stars on Portland are not. ***
Gerald Green ($4,700): Believe it or not, Green has been the best option off the Houston bench throughout the season. Eric Gordon just hasn’t looked right all year while Green is hitting shots and collecting rebounds. He struggled in Game 1, but so did everyone else on Houston not named Harden or Capela. He looked more like himself In Game 2 and that should carryover to Game 3. ***
