High Salary SF

Kevin Durant ($9,500): Durant has been a matchup problem all series for the Pelicans. Game 3 proved to just be an off-night for the All-Star. The Pelicans don’t have an answer for him and that’s not going to change overnight. Expect another big scoring performance out of him in Game 5. *****

High Value SF

Joe Ingles ($5,600): Ingles still didn’t shoot the ball particularly well in Game 4, but his rebounding and assist numbers were up. He should at least hit value given his minutes and opportunities. ***

E’Twaun Moore ($4,300): Moore has been at value in all four games in the series. He’s shot the ball very well, even on the road. Most of his value is tied to his scoring and there’s always a chance he runs cold, but ride the hot hand while you can. ***

P.J. Tucker ($3,900): It’s been Tucker who has been the contributing role player for the Rockets this series. Again, this can always change on a game-to-game basis, but Tucker is doing enough to at least hit value and going over value in three of the four games. ***
