High Salary SF

LeBron James ($13,000): As expected, James delivered in Game 7. And now he meets his old friends in Toronto. Like the first round, you know what you’re getting out of James. At minimum, he’s going to be around 50 fantasy points. And if he’s in his bag, he’s going to be over 70 fantasy points. He’s never a bad option this time of year. *****

Kevin Durant ($10,500): Durant had 46.6 fantasy points in Game 1. His salary has gone up, which is worrisome as Steph Curry makes his return. But you’re either grabbing Durant or James at this position. Possibly both if you’re punting elsewhere. His ceiling isn’t as high with Curry back, but the Pelicans truly have no answer for him. *****

High Value SF

Andre Iguodala ($4,600): Iguodala will move back to the bench with Curry back, but he should still receive enough playing time to at least his value. He had 21.3 fantasy points in 24 minutes in Game 1. Expect him around that number in Game 2, with his minutes likely increasing as this game is hopefully closer. ***

E’Twaun Moore ($4,300): Moore posted 19.4 fantasy points in 22 minutes in Game 1. He’s a role player who gets chances to contribute as the starting small forward. Darius Miller will get decent run off the bench, but E’Twaun has been the more reliable option all season. *
