High Salary SF

LeBron James ($12,100): LeBron didn’t play well in Game 1 (his words, not mine) and still finished with a triple-double and 69.75 fantasy points. I shudder to think what “playing well” looks like for James in Game 2. It’s LeBron in the playoffs. He’s going to be a huge hit unless it’s one of those rare off-nights for him. *****

Jayson Tatum ($6,700): With Jaylen Brown out of the lineup, it’s the Rozier and Tatum show when it comes to scoring. Tatum needs to do just a bit more in other areas beside scoring to boost his overall value, but as long as the scoring is there, he’ll be a big contributor. ****

High Value SF

Marcus Morris ($4,700): Morris would have been just over value if he were at this salary in Game 1. He’s been a strong contributor at home at playoffs and the Celtics need his scoring and rebounding with Brown out of the lineup. He’s a reliable option at this salary. ***

Jeff Green ($4,000): Green continued his strong play against the Raptors, posting 29 fantasy points in Game 1. I don’t know what it is, but he is a pain in Toronto’s side. There’s always worry with Green because he’s Jeff Green. But this is a matchup that he just thrives against. ***
