High Salary SG

James Harden ($12,000): It’s possible the Rockets blow out the Jazz in Game 1. It doesn’t seem likely given the Utah defense, but they’ll be without Rubio and just had a draining series against the Thunder. The Rockets are better than the Thunder at every facet of basketball. And if this turns into a rout, Harden will be a big reason why. ****

Victor Oladipo ($9,300): Oladipo found his shot in Game 6 and it led to a big 68.6 fantasy point performance. If he’s shooting at that level in Game 7, the Cavaliers are in trouble. They’ve been able to get away with Oladipo missing shots he’s made all season throughout this series. Even if he’s not hitting every shot, he’s going to be around value. ****

High Value SG

Eric Gordon ($5,200): Gordon played himself into rhythm in the last two games of the first round. The hope is that continues into round two. But Utah presents a much tougher challenge than the Timberwolves. He’s been inconsistent all season, but lack of opportunities won’t be an issue. Proceed with caution. ***

Kyle Korver ($4,600): When Korver plays well, the Cavaliers win. He’s the real key to their success. He remains the best role player option on the Cavaliers due to his typically reliable shooting and familiarity with James and the Cavaliers offense. It’ll be the LeBron show in Game 7. But Korver will need to chip in. **
