High Salary PG

Rajon Rondo ($7,100): Rondo has been excellent in the playoffs and he’ll need to continue that level of play if the Pelicans hope to upset the Warriors. The status of Steph Curry changes Rondo’s value a bit. If he doesn’t play, the Warriors will continue to play a more defensive/tall lineup with Andre Iguodala. That may hurt Rondo’s offensive game a bit. But it will allow him to relax more on defense. Given how he’s looked in the playoffs, I’m not doubting him. ****

Terry Rozier ($6,900): Rozier has been good more often than not in this series and his salary makes him feel like a steal. Especially when compared to the salary of Eric Bledsoe, who has been disappointing for most of the series. Rozier has been spectacular at home and that’ll continue in Game 7. *****

High Value PG

Shaun Livingston ($3,700): He plays significant minutes and gets opportunities, which counts for something. With or without Curry, his minutes at the back up point guard don’t really change. And if Curry is limited, that helps Livingston’s case. *

Shane Larkin ($3,500): You can take your pick between Larkin, Quinn Cook, Ian Clark, or Matthew Dellavedova at this salary. None of them will make a huge impact unless the basketball Gods want to have a good laugh. But Larkin is the best of the bunch. *
