High Salary PF

Paul George ($8,700): George went off for 53 fantasy points in Game 5. He and Westbrook carried the team in the second half and they’ll need all they can get from those two once again if they hope to win Game 6. He’s been solid all series, and while his salary has gone way up, the circumstances dictate another big game. ****

Kevin Love ($6,800): Even at this lower salary, Love simply hasn’t performed up to expectations this series. Maybe you want to keep taking him in hopes his shot finally starts to fall, but there’s not evidence of him turning his game around this series. He’s a risk, and with the way LeBron is playing, the reward may not be big enough. **

High Value PF

Domantas Sabonis ($4,800): It looks like Sabonis is going to get the majority of the minutes now, which makes him a better option than Myles Turner. Still, proceed with caution but there’s always a chance his minutes are reduced if he’s not contributing on the scoresheet. ***

Jae Crowder ($4,600): Crowder had 46 fantasy points in Game 5. He outplayed Derrick Favors and has been a solid rotation player since the trade from Cleveland. He’s a good candidate to at least get minutes and shots. His salary had climbed to where he needs 20.5 fantasy points, but that shouldn’t be an issue. ***
