High Salary PF

Draymond Green ($8,700): You know it isn’t the Warriors night when even Green struggled to reach value. His offensive numbers were good, nearly collecting a triple-double, but he had seven turnovers and no defensive stats. Don’t count on that happening again. ****

Nikola Mirotic ($7,100): Mirotic has been good after a rough Game 1. I wasn’t a big fan of the matchup for him, but he’s handled himself well, contributing points and rebounds. The salary is certainly low enough for him to be nicely over value. ****

High Value PF

Jae Crowder ($4,800): Crowder struggled with his shot in Game 3. But if Derrick Favors is unable to play, he’ll likely be inserted into the starting lineup. He’s going to play big minutes with or without Favors. Expect shots to fall for him a bit more in Game 4. ***

Kevon Looney ($3,600): Looney continues to get minutes and he’s making an impact when he’s on the floor. He’ll never post huge numbers, but he’s a solid contributor on a low salary. ***
