High Salary SF

Jimmy Butler ($8,800): Butler arrived to the series in Game 3, finishing with 45.9 fantasy points. Like Andrew Wiggins, he shot well from deep, which typically isn’t his strong suit. It was his first good game against the Rockets all season and I’m not totally buying into it. Proceed with caution. ***

Paul George ($7,900): George was slightly under value in Game 3. His scoring numbers were fine, but it was his rebounding numbers that took a dip. He’s good for at least value and the chance of a big game is certainly there. He’ll get you at least 35 fantasy points in Game 4. ****

High Value SF

Joe Ingles ($6,300): Ingles found more room to shoot in Game 3 and contributed 32.6 fantasy points. There’s a good chance he can repeat that performance as the Thunder try to do more to stop Donovan Mitchell and Ricky Rubio. His play may dip when the series goes back to Oklahoma City, but he’s good for value in Utah. ***

Corey Brewer ($4,600): Brewer has been over 20 fantasy points in all three games in this series. He’s a guy who plays solid minutes next to superstar players and contributes with points, rebounds, and defense. He’s good to at least hit value, but not much more. ***
