High Salary PG

Chris Paul ($9,000): Paul went off for 58.4 fantasy points in Game 4. He’s always a good fallback option to James Harden as, at worst, he’s going to be at value. And at best, he’ll be over 50 fantasy points. Expect him to be back between 35-40 fantasy points in Game 5. ****

Rajon Rondo ($8,000): Rondo’s assist numbers were down in Game 4, thanks in large part to the Warriors starting Andre Iguodala and being better on defense. You can always go with Steph Curry at a higher price, but his assist numbers haven’t been great in the series and he’s become almost reliant on just his scoring. Rondo does a bit more overall. ***

High Value PG

Raul Neto ($3,500): He’s played solid minutes in the last two games. And with Dante Exum and Ricky Rubio both out, Neto could see extended time once again. He’s not a great option, but it looks like he’ll contribute a little something. *

Quinn Cook ($3,500): Cook has been good in two of the four games. But he’s played just five minutes combined in the other two games. If he plays, he’ll score. But it’s a mystery as to whether or not he’s going to get consistent run. *
