High Salary PF
Anthony Davis ($10,900): Six turnovers led to Davis missing value in Game 4. He’ll be better in Game 5. He’ll have to be if the Pelicans want to extend the series. Expect Davis to go down swinging with a monster game. *****
Draymond Green ($8,100): As expected, Green had more of an impact on the defensive end in Game 4. Along with six defensive plays, he was one field goal, one assist, and one rebound away from a triple-double. He’s going to put up another well-rounded stat line in Game 5. *****
High Value PF
Jae Crowder ($5,100): Crowder started in Game 4, but didn’t make much of an impact. He continues to play big minutes and he’ll get his shots, he’s just gone cold in the last two games. Dante Exum can’t go, which means they’ll need Crowder’s defense and scoring even more in Game 5. **
Kevon Looney ($3,400): Looney has been a favorite low cost player of mine all series. He gets consistent playing time and does just enough each game to at least hit value. If he’s able to finish over 15 fantasy points, that’s just a bonus. ***
