High Salary PG

Donovan Mitchell ($7,700): Mitchell bounced back in Game 4 and produced 46.75 fantasy points. Ricky Rubio won’t play in Game 5, which means it’ll be up to Mitchell to carry the load offensively. He won’t go quietly into the offseason. *****

Chris Paul ($7,600): It was Paul who had the big game in Game 4. He’s not as consistent with his 50-plus games as James Harden, but he has been consistently at value all series. At worst, he’ll be around 35 fantasy points. And there’s always the chance he goes for 50-plus. ****

High Value PG

Eric Gordon ($4,800): Gordon was in regular season form in Game 4. Despite his scoring struggles, he remains a guy who is going to get big minutes and plenty of opportunities. With the series back at home, expect him to bounce back. ***

Andre Iguodala ($4,600): Iguodala was inserted into the starting lineup and it led to 32.75 fantasy points. Much like Gordon, he’s going to get nearly 30 minutes a night and given the talent around him, he’ll find his way into solid offensive numbers and a couple of defensive plays. ****
