High Salary C

Karl-Anthony Towns ($10,200): Towns posted 47.7 fantasy points in Game 3 thanks to his rebounding ability. If he could put that together with a bigger scoring night, he’ll be back over 60 fantasy points in no time. But because he hasn’t quite shown that in this series, his value is more limited. Hopefully Game 3 was a step in the right direction. ****

Rudy Gobert ($8,100): Gobert was over 40 fantasy points once again in Game 3. With Steven Adams continued foul trouble, Gobert has been able to dominate the paint and the glass. Maybe Adams doesn’t pick up so many fouls in Game 4, but given how the last two games have gone, it’s tough to trust that. And even with Adams in the game, Gobert is good for at least 35 fantasy points. ****

High Value C

Steven Adams ($6,100): Adams has been a disappointment this series, missing value in all three games. He’s been in foul trouble in the last two games, which has really capped his value. If he could stay out of foul trouble and play over 30 minutes, he’s a good bet to hit 25 fantasy points. But until that happens, he’s a risk. **

Nene ($3,700): Don’t take Nene. The only reason to take Nene is if you feel very confident in Russell Westbrook and James Harden in going over 80 fantasy points. And if you feel that confident, can I please have your autograph because I assume you are J.R. Smith. *
