High Salary SG

James Harden ($10,400): Harden struggled in Game 4, coming up with only three assists. Don’t expect that to happen again. He’s been the lead contributor over Chris Paul all season and he’s not a guy who typically misses value in back-to-back games. *****

Jrue Holiday ($7,400): Despite the blowout in Game 4, Holiday still managed to hit value. His salary has dropped, making him easier to fit into your lineup. He’s going to get his points and rebounds along with a couple of defensive numbers. He’ll at least hit value. ***

High Value SG

Klay Thompson ($5,900): Thompson has been up-and-down in this series. He was down in Game 4, but with a lower salary and being back in Golden State, there’s good reason to think he’ll bounce back. He’s never lacking for shots and he continues to rebound at a high level. ***

Alec Burks ($4,100): If Dante Exum is unable to play, Burks should see more than nine minutes of playing time. He had been playing well in the series prior to Game 4 and I wouldn’t be so quick to write him off after one bad game. With Rubio and Exum out, he’ll get every chance to bounce back from Sunday’s performance. ***
