High Salary PF

Draymond Green ($8,100): Green was able to sneak in over value thanks to his double-double. But he didn’t impact the game defensively and turned the ball over more often than usual for him. Rondo might be getting under his skin, but Draymond is too good to not respond in a big way. ****

Nikola Mirotic ($6,500): Much like Holiday, Mirotic has turned things around after Game 1. He’s bounced back from a rough shooting night in Game 1 and has continued to be a strong presence on the glass. If nothing else, he should get you value. ***

High Value PF

Jae Crowder ($5,000): Crowder didn’t shoot well in Game 3, but he’ll continue to shoot in Game 4. And he’ll likely play more minutes, especially if Derrick Favors is unable to play. Even if Favors plays, this just isn’t his matchup and Crowder has proven to be the better option. ***

Kevon Looney ($3,200): I covered some of the questionable value you can get at this position in the previous slide. So I now present to you Looney, who is a low cost option that gets minutes and chances. He’s unlikely to have a huge game, but he’s a rare consistent contributor at this salary.
