High Salary PF

Ben Simmons ($10,500): Embiid or no Embiid, the Heat have no answer for Simmons. He’s been over 50 fantasy points in three of the four games in the series. He had 49.8 fantasy points in the game where he was under 50 fantasy points. He’s getting it done on both ends of the court and that’s not going to change in this series. It may not change in his career. *****

Draymond Green ($8,200): Green has been solid in the playoffs, but the last time his salary was this high, he was disappointing. That doesn’t change his impact on the court and Green isn’t on social media as much as his teammate, so he probably doesn’t pay attention to what his FanDuel salary is. All of this is to say Green will be around 40 fantasy points once again. ****

High Value PF

Dario Saric ($6,400): Saric missed value in Game 4, but don’t be too alarmed. He’s been too good against Miami this season to think it’ll happen again. Yes, Embiid cuts into his value a bit, but he did just fine alongside Embiid in Game 3. He just had an off-night in Game 4. He’ll be better in Game 5 and back over value. ****

Marcus Morris ($5,300): Morris was brutal in both games in Milwaukee. He’s more comfortable at home and those tough shots just seem to fall more often in Boston. Now that his salary his lower, it seems like a good time to buy low on him while expecting him to be better with some home cooking. ***
