Lineup and Advice

It’s a guard heavy night and you’ll probably want to role with two high salary guards in your lineups. You can stack Warriors because their offense is always on point and their top four guys will deliver on most nights. If you’re deciding between Harden and Davis, I like Davis more. This feels like the game where he goes nuts in an effort to get his team into this series.

PG: Eric Gordon
SG: Klay Thompson
SF: Andre Iguodala

Explanation of the stars after each pick: Each one of my picks is ranked on a scale of one to five stars. Picks that I give five stars (∗∗∗∗∗) are players that you almost have to own and I have no reservations about owning at their price. Players that get four stars (∗∗∗∗) are players that I think are strong picks to build your roster around. Three-star players (∗∗∗) are middle-of-the-road solid picks who are fairly reliable to produce a good game. Picks receiving two stars (∗∗) are high-risk, high-reward players who do offer enough upside to be in my picks, but also have a significant risk factor that makes them dangerous. One star (∗) players are picks that are the best option around that price point, but who I don’t think are great options. I would take any one-star player over any option not in my picks, but they aren’t picks to build your roster around.
