High Salary SG

James Harden ($12,200): Harden had 46.9 fantasy points in Game 3. His salary is at the point where he needs 52.6 fantasy points in Game 4. It was a rough night for the Rockets in Game 3 and there are concerns about “Playoff Harden” and “Playoff Rockets” following Saturday. Don’t buy it after one game. Expect Harden and the Rockets to have a bounce back performance in Game 4. ****

Donovan Mitchell ($8,200): Mitchell was over value once again in Game 3. He’s been steady this entire series and has the ability to push 50 fantasy points on any given night. At the very least, he’s going to hit value. But expect Utah to feed off the crowd once again, leading to another big night from the rookie. *****

High Value SG

Andrew Wiggins ($6,400): Wiggins posted 38.5 fantasy points in Game 3. He shot it well from three and put up rebounds and assists. He’s been a steady contributor in this series and that should continue in Game 4. Even if he’s not hot from beyond the arc, he’ll do enough to at least put himself at value. ***

Jamal Crawford ($3,600): Crawford has been at value or better in all three games. His low salary certainly helps. He plays decent minutes on most nights and has the green light to shoot on most possessions. He’s good for the 15.5 fantasy points that he needs to reach value. *
