High Salary C

Anthony Davis ($12,800): Davis posted 70.1 fantasy points in Game 3. He’ll have to be that good once again if the Pelicans want to even the series. Even on off-nights, Davis is going to end up around 50 fantasy points. And on big nights, he’ll be over 60 fantasy points. *****

Clint Capela ($8,800): Capela has been consistent all playoffs. His points and rebounds were down in Game 3, but he still went over 40 fantasy points thanks to his defense. Expect more of the same in Game 4. ****

Rudy Gobert ($7,600): Gobert is always going to put up decent numbers, but his play doesn’t translate to fantasy all that well. If Ricky Rubio is back, expect Gobert to be back over 35 fantasy points. ***

High Value C

Nene ($2,500): Much like Friday, you’re either taking a high salary guy or you’re taking a $2,000 player to save money and load up at other positions. Nene at least made some contributions in Game 3 for the Rockets, but none of these guys below Gobert can be counted on for anything about spot points. *
