High Salary PG

Steph Curry ($8,700): Curry returned in Game 2, albeit in a bench role. He still had 45.25 fantasy points in 27 minutes, looking 100 percent following the injury. He’s scheduled re-join the starting lineup and will likely play his usual 30-plus minutes. That’s bad news for the Pelicans. *****

Rajon Rondo ($7,300): Rondo continued his stellar play in Game 2, posting 58.25 fantasy points. He’s been fantastic all playoffs, putting up numbers in all categories. He probably won’t score three 3s again and five steals is a bit much, but there’s no reason to doubt him as it currently stands. *****

High Value PG

Alec Burks ($4,200): Will Burks hit every shot again in Game 3? Probably not. But with Ricky Rubio out of the lineup, he’s been big off the Utah bench. Has salary has gone up and role players can be great one game while non-factors in the next. Dante Exum, who may see more playing time given the way he guarded James Harden, is a good option as well. ***

Eric Gordon ($4,400): After a rough start to the playoffs, Gordon has looked more like his usual self in recent games. Chances are never an issue for Gordon in the Houston offense and he was able to pitch in with rebounds in Game 2. He’s a good bet at this salary. ***
