High Salary PF

Kevin Love ($7,400): Unless you have a good feeling that Love will find his shot in Game 6, there isn’t much reason to take him. He’s been a disappointment all series and is either bothered with injuries or is simply in an extended slump. He’s a risk until he finds his shot and this salary isn’t low enough for my tastes. **

High Value PF

Derrick Favors ($6,000): Foul trouble and Jae Crowder stepping up limited Favors’ production in Game 5. Assuming he’s able to stay on the court, and Crowder doesn’t hit every shot from three, Favors should see a return to form in Game 6. ***

Thaddeus Young ($6,400): Young had 22.7 fantasy points in Game 5. It wasn’t for a lack of effort. His scoring was there, but his rebounding was down and he didn’t come up on the defensive box score, despite winning loose ball battles and seemingly coming up with steals. He’ll be back over value in Game 6. ***

Domantas Sabonis ($4,600): Sabonis has outplayed Myles Turner in the past two games. He was up to 33 minutes and 33 fantasy points in Game 5. He’s hot right now, which is a good sign for his value in Game 6. I’m still weary, but the salary works in his favor, as does the inconsistency of Turner. Proceed with caution. ***
