High Salary PF

Ben Simmons ($9,800): Simmons bounced back with 42.6 fantasy points in Game 3. He was never going to play as poorly as he did in Game 2, but this matchup is still tough sledding for him. He’ll be around 40 fantasy points, but may come up a little short. ***

Kevin Love ($7,800): Love has returned to form in the last two games and is a big reason why the Cavaliers are up 3-0. When he’s playing at this level, he takes Cleveland to new heights. I’m putting some more trust into him based on his last two offensive performances. ****

High Value PF

Dario Saric ($6,500): Saric continues to be a reliable option at an affordable price. Even though his scoring has been down in this series, he’s contributing with rebounds and assists. Expect more of the same in Game 4. ***

Jeff Green ($4,000): Green has been my favorite low cost option who has consistently delivered all series. He played 31 minutes in Game 4, showing he’s a staple in the rotation moving forward. If you’re grabbing LeBron, Green is a nice balance. ***
