Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers
BOSTON, MA – MAY 3: Boston Celtics Jayson Tatum hangs around the rim after his slam dunk on a nice feed from teammate Terry Rozier III brought the crowd out of their seats and gave Boston a 103-97 lead, on their way to a 108-103 victory.

High Salary SF

LeBron James ($12,100): LeBron had 77.5 fantasy points in Game 2 and 200 fantasy points if “times he embarrassed the opponent” counted. It’s LeBron. In the Playoffs. Against Toronto. If it reads like a murder mystery for Clue, it’s because he continues to murder the Raptors. *****

Jayson Tatum ($6,600): Tatum was right at value in Game.2 Jaylen Brown playing minutes took some opportunities away from him, but his scoring was still there. It was his rebounding that ended up hurting his overall value. With or without Brown, he should be around 30 fantasy points. But if Brown doesn’t play, his ceiling is higher. ***

High Value SF

Dario Saric ($6,000): Saric just hit value in Game 2. And now his salary has lowered after a less than stellar performance. He’s been consistent against the Celtics all season and is a good bet at this salary. ***

Jeff Green ($4,200): Green was over value once again in Game 2. His salary is climbing, but it’s still low enough to where he’s a strong play and nearly guaranteed points. As always, it’s Jeff Green, so there’s going to be a letdown at some point. But this has been his matchup all season. ***
