High Salary PF

Al Horford ($7,500): Horford remains a consistent play at a good salary. He hasn’t been quite as good on the road, which is a concern. But he puts up numbers in all categories and can be a double-double threat. Expect him around value once again. ****

Kevin Love ($6,800): Love came alive in Game 2 and it’s no surprise that it was the first game where the Cavaliers looked like they reach their full potential. Was it a one-off or has he found his form? That’s the real question. I’m still weary because of how he’s played all playoffs, but you may be a bit more trusting that he’s back to his usual self. ***

High Value PF

Robert Covington ($5,700): Covington found his shot in Game 2 and pitched in with nine rebounds. Much like Love, I’m concerned that it was a one-game turnaround and not something that will carryover. He just hasn’t played well against the the Celtics this season. But maybe his confidence will be up and being at home will help him. ***

Marcus Morris ($5,000): Morris hasn’t played well on the road during the playoffs, which is the worry in Game 3. The minutes and shots will be there and the salary isn’t too bad. But given his struggles on the road, I’m considering him a risk with decent upside. **
