High Salary SF

LeBron James ($14,500): Is this the salary that is finally too high for LeBron? He needs 60 fantasy points to be at value. That’s a tall task, but he’s been up to the challenge all playoffs. This is a weak position and LeBron continues to be the most sure thing in the playoffs. *****

Jayson Tatum ($7,000): Tatum has shed an rookie struggles in this series, hitting value in every game. His salary has gone up, but as long as he gets 30 fantasy points, he’ll be at value. Given his recent performances, he should give you at least 30 fantasy points once again in Game 4. ****

Robert Covington ($6,700): Covington followed up his 47.8 fantasy point game with 6.9 fantasy points. Maybe he bounces back in Game 4, but I haven’t liked him all series due to his play against Boston this season. The opportunities are there and he proved he can deliver, but he’s a risky option. **

High Value SF

C.J. Miles ($3,700): Both Miles and OG Anunoby delivered in Game 3. I continue like Miles more due to his offensive capabilities. Both guys get the playing time to put up numbers. But neither guy is all that reliable. *
