High Salary PF

Anthony Davis ($12,900): If Davis is going to have a monster game in this series, Game 3 is the best bet. The team needs him to deliver or else they’ll be in a 3-0 hole. He was great in Game 2, finishing with 63.5 fantasy points. I have a feeling he’s going to be even better in Game 3. *****

Draymond Green ($9,000): Green has been fantastic in the first two games of the series. With Steph Curry back in the starting lineup, it makes Green’s job that much easier when it comes to pick up assists. Expect another good game from the Warriors Swiss army knife. ****

High Value PF

Jae Crowder ($5,000): Crowder has been hot in this series. He’s seeing more playing time with Ricky Rubio out and Derrick Favors struggling to stay on the floor through the first two games. He’s a reliable scorer, rebounder, and agitator. Although the last thing doesn’t count for fantasy points. ***

Kevon Looney ($3,600): It looks like Looney will continue to get playing time even with Curry back in the lineup. His size is a big help against the likes of David and Nikola Mirotic. If you’re grabbing Davis, Looney helps offset the salary. *
