High Salary SG

DeMar DeRozan ($8,600): DeRozan had 27.5 fantasy points in Game 2 and typically plays worse on the road. All this points to bad things in Game 3. I have no clue what the Raptors mentality will be after that Game 2 performance and watching LeBron embarrass them. The chances will be there for DeRozan, but proceed with caution. ***

High Value SG

Marcus Smart ($6,300): Jaylen Brown is questionable once again. Even if he plays, he may come off the bench and be limited like he was in Game 2. Whether Smart starts or comes off the bench, he’s going to play big minutes. He contributes in all categories, and while he may not shoot as well in Game 3, he’ll do enough to give you value. ***

J.J. Redick ($5,800): Redick has been great in this series and in his last four playoff games. While Marco Belinelli has crashed back down to earth and become slightly unplayable due to his defense, Redick has been a steady presence in the Philadelphia lineup. ***

J.R. Smith ($4,500): Smith continued to be at value in Game 2. The Cavaliers got more help from Kevin Love, which limited Smith a bit, but he’s rarely lacking for opportunities. He’s hot right now and you should continue to take advantage of that. ***
