High Salary PG

Russell Westbrook ($12,000): Westbrook had 58.3 fantasy points in Game 2. There’s never a doubt what you’re getting with Westbrook. He’s going to put up numbers in all categories with a high probability that his points are near 30. That wasn’t the case in Game 2 and he still had nearly 60 fantasy points. You never have to worry about him contributing all over the boxscore. *****

Rajon Rondo ($7,100): Playoff Rondo looks unstoppable. He’s running the offense to perfection, getting assists whenever he wants them and he’s chipped in with scoring. The Blazers haven’t done a bad job on Jrue Holiday and Anthony Davis, but they’ve been burned by Rondo and Nikola Mirotic all series. He’s on fire right now and this might be Portland’s last chance to stop him. I wouldn’t bet against him. ****

High Value PG

Goran Dragic ($6,400): Dragic had 40.4 fantasy points in Game 2. It was a much needed performance from a player who has struggled against the Sixers all season. At this price, he’s a solid bet to at least hit value. And Game 2 showed that there’s always a chance that he’s a big contributor. ***

Ian Clark ($3,600): Not a whole lot going on underneath Dragic. Clark played 27 minutes in Game 2, which is something. Minutes matter in the playoffs and if he’s going to get nearly 30 minutes, it at least gives him the opportunity to produce. Derrick Rose could be another option since Tom Thibodeau will likely go back to him at home. *
