High Salary SG

James Harden ($12,500): Harden was limited to 31 minutes due to the blowout, but still managed 55.8 fantasy points. His scoring was down, but his assist numbers remained good and he pitched in with a couple of defensive plays. He’s always a safe bet to get you at leas 50 fantasy points. *****

Jrue Holidy ($9,200): After a struggle in Game 1, Holiday looked more like himself in the last two games. When he’s locked in, he’s scoring and rebounding while chipping in with defense. The Warriors will be better in Game 4, but Holiday should get his numbers. ****

High Value SG

Eric Gordon ($5,200): Gordon has looked nothing like his regular season self in the last two games. That’s good news for Rockets fans and potential fantasy owners. He’s hot right now and the opportunities are always there for him. I’m bumping him up a star and I know I’ll regret it. ****

Alec Burks ($3,900): Burks isn’t quite at his Game 2 level in Game 3, but he still provided 19.3 fantasy points. The only concern is if Ricky Rubio plays. If he suits up, Burks likely won’t see as much playing time, despite how good he’s been with Rubio out. But his salary won’t kill you. ***
