High Salary SG

Terry Rozier ($8,500): Rozier has done anything and everything he wants in this series, and really the entire playoffs. He’s playing with a ton of confidence right now and for good reason. His salary keeps climbing, but there’s no reason to doubt him. Being on the road is the only thing from keeping him as a lock. ****

DeMar DeRozan ($7,800): DeRozan got his points in Game 2, but had zero rebounds and only three assists. The Raptors just had no traction and were stopped at every turn by the Cavaliers. He’s someone who has played better at all home season, so his struggles in Game 2 don’t bode well for his value heading into Game 3. ***

High Value SG

J.J. Redick ($5,800): Redick found his shooting touch in Game 2 and delivered 34.25 fantasy points. He’s been my favorite guard for the Sixers all playoffs and he continues to impress. Philadelphia will need him to continue to play at this level if they want to get back into the series. ***

J.R. Smith ($4,400): Smith still has the hot hand for Cleveland. As always, shots are never lacking for him and when he’s playing as well as he has been in the last couple of games, he can be a solid presence. He should be around value once again. ***
