High Salary PG

Terry Rozier ($8,900): Rozier was just at value in Game 3. His numbers aren’t quite as good on the road, but he’s a consistent performer who is going to be around value. But at an increase salary, on the road, he’s not quite the play he’s been throughout the playoffs. ***

Kyle Lowry ($8,200): Lowry is the more cost effective option at point guard as he’s been consistent in the playoffs and is coming off a great game in Game 3. He’s had to step up with DeMar DeRozan struggling and he’s a guy who has been better on the road all season. ****

High Value PG

George Hill ($4,300): Hill’s salary has gone up $100 despite missing value in Game 3. He gets big minutes and plenty of chances, which counts for something. He’s shown the ability to get at least 20 fantasy points. He’s a decent option just due to minutes. **

Fred VanVleet ($3,800): VanVleet picked up the start in Game 3 and played 33 minutes, but only managed 11.2 fantasy points. Much like Hill, he’s getting minutes and chances, but it hasn’t translated to fantasy points. Still, at least the opportunities are there for these two. You can’t say the same about anyone else on this list. **
