High Salary SF

LeBron James ($13,500): LeBron thought he played poorly in Game 1. He hd 66.7 fantasy points. If that’s him playing poorly, expect him to be around 80 fantasy points in Game 2. It’s LeBron. He going to be a beast and put up big numbers in all categories. *****

Jayson Tatum ($6,800): With Jaylen Brown out, Tatum was able to contribute 33.6 fantasy points. His salary has jumped to where he needs 28.4 fantasy to hit value. The scoring is there and he’s doing just enough in other categories to raise his value. ****

High Value SF

Robert Covington ($6,000): Covington has played poorly against the Celtics all season and he didn’t do anything to boost my confidence in him in Game 1. He hasn’t hit value once in the playoff and his play has gotten progressively worse. The salary is appealing, but until I see it with Covington, I can’t give him a strong recommendation. **

C.J. Miles ($3,500): You’re either going with Miles or OG Anunoby. Anunoby will play more minutes as the “LeBron stopper who can’t stop LeBron,” but Miles has the higher upside. *
