High Salary SG

DeMar DeRozan ($8,400): DeRozan’s scoring was slightly down, but he contributed with three blocks to boost his value. He’s unlikely to pull that off again, but he’ll continue to contribute in all offensive categories. I’m high on Toronto in Game 2 and expect DeRozan to lead the charge. ****

Terry Rozier ($7,700): Rozier has been over 50 fantasy points in the last two games. It seems like the more injuries Boston has, the better the rest of their team plays. And Rozier is at the top of the list in players who has elevated their game. He’s a better option at a $100 less than Lowry. *****

High Value SG

J.J. Redick ($5,400): The Philadelphia shooters struggled from three, but Redick has always gotten his points in a variety of ways and contributes in other categories. He’s been my choice over Marco Belinelli all playoffs, and with Boston exposing Belinelli’s defense in Game 1, Redick will have to step up once again. ***

J.R. Smith ($4,500): Smith had 32 fantasy points in Game 1. When he’s hot, he’s hot. And when he’s not hot, well, he’s still fun to watch. He can go cold at any time, but he’s hot right now and will continue to get his shots. Proceed with caution because after all, it is J.R. Smith. ***
