High Salary PF

Kevin Love ($7,700): Love has been disappointing this series. He’s hit value only once, coming in right at value, and has been 9-plus fantasy points under value in the other two games. But he’s still the second option on Cleveland and at least his salary won’t kill you like LaMarcus Aldridge would. **

Draymond Green ($7,600): Green has been over 40 fantasy points in two of the three games. He’s going to put up solid numbers in all categories, but there is a certain bust factor with him just due to his style of play. Still, the Warriors are the better team and Green is a big reason why. He’ll at least hit value in Game 4. ***

High Value PF

Thaddeus Young ($6,200): Young has been trending up in this series and is coming off a 35.9 fantasy point effort in Game 3. Maybe he doesn’t climb that high in Game 4, but I do like him to push 30 fantasy points. He’s a veteran presence who can contribute points and defense with a handful of rebounds.

Mike Scott ($3,800): Scott is going to keep getting playing time and at this salary, he’s a fantastic punt option. The guys ahead of him don’t get nearly the playing time and have not contributed in the same manner Scott has during the playoffs. He’ll be around 20 fantasy points once again. ***
