High Salary C

Clint Capela ($8,600): Capela averaged 1.48 fantasy points per minute in three regular season games against the Jazz. Rudy Gobert did miss one of those games and all three came before the new year, when the Jazz really turned this season around. But he’s always the x-factor for Houston. The problem is the salary as it might be too rich compared to Gobert. ***

Rudy Gobert ($7,900): Gobert proved to be a reliable play in the first round and his salary remains reasonable. He’s consistent with his scoring and rebounding. And given how often Houston attacks the rim, the chance for blocks will certainly be there. ***

High Value C

Myles Turner ($5,400): After missing value in the straight, Turner was just at value in Game 6. He’s still the starter, but Domantas Sabonis has seen more playing time due to his scoring. At this salary, he’s not going to cripple your team and his ceiling remains high. ***

Nene ($2,500): Nene averaged 22.2 fantasy points in two games against the Jazz in the regular season. With the Jazz having Gobert and Favors, maybe the Rockets turn to Nene to give them an extra body. You’re basically wasting the position and hoping for the best if you grab him. *
