High Salary PG

Steph Curry ($9,800): Curry played just 29 minutes in Game 3, didn’t ply particularly well, and still managed 44.2 fantasy points. His value was boosted by defense, but trust that shots will start to fall for him in Game 4 and he’ll see more playing time as this should be more competitive. ****

Rajon Rondo ($7,900): Rondo had 21 assists in Game 3. Which is absurd until you remember that it’s Playoff Rondo. He’s been over value in every playoff game thus far. His salary keeps rising, but he gets it done in all categories and isn’t slowing down. *****

High Value PG

Ian Clark ($3,500): Clark turned out to be a role player who provided some scoring off the bench in Game 3. He’ll likely get minutes in Game 4, but expecting him to remain hot from the field is asking a lot. Still, he’s the best of a weak bunch behind the top salary guys. *

Dante Exum ($3,000): Exum will continue to get minutes in this series, especially if Ricky Rubio doesn’t play again. Raul Neto only contributed in Game 3 due to the blowout. If you think it’ll be another blowout, adding him might work. *
