High Salary SF
Jimmy Butler ($8,000): Butler looked more like himself in Game 3 and delivered 47.75 fantasy points. Much like Andrew Wiggins, Butler shot better from deep than he has all season. It doesn’t seem sustainable, but maybe the Timberwolves have flipped the script in this series. Proceed with caution. ***
Paul George ($7,600): George had 34 fantasy points in Game 3. After a hot shooting start to the series, he’s cooled down a bit. His rebounding numbers were what did him in in Game 3. With his salary lowered, you can expect him to at least hit value. And the chance for a big game is certainly there. ****
High Value SF
Gerald Green ($4,500): Green had been up-and-down in this series. He’s coming off a down performance thanks to a dip in rebounding numbers. It’s tough to rebound when the other team doesn’t miss. Green is still my favorite option off the Houston bench and he should bounce back to at least hit value in Game 4. ***
Corey Brewer ($4,400): Brewer has been steady in the playoffs. He’s unlikely to deliver a big game, but he puts up decent scoring and rebounding numbers to go along with a defensive play or two. He’s good for at least 20 fantasy points and can be used as consistent low cost option. ***
