High Salary PF

Kevin Love ($7,800): Love is starting to look more like himself, which has been bad news for the Raptors. His salary is back to where it was prior to the start of the playoffs, but that doesn’t matter as long as he continues to play the way he has in the last two games. Assume this is a return to form and take him with confidence. ****

Al Horford ($7,300): Horford was slightly under value in Game 3 and his salary has dropped just a bit. Like a lot of the Celtics, he hasn’t been quite as good on the road, but he’s going to provide solid numbers in all categories and is guaranteed value, even if his ceiling isn’t as high as Love’s. ****

High Value PF

Dario Saric ($6,000): Saric hasn’t scored the ball much in this series, but he puts up numbers in all categories and been a consistent 30 fantasy point performer in all three games this series. He’s been one of my favorite value plays and that doesn’t change in Game 4. ****

Jeff Green ($4,000): Green missed value by .2 fantasy points in Game 3. But his salary has dropped and he played 31 minutes. He’s been a solid contributor all series at an affordable salary and he’s playing big minutes. ***
