High Salary PF

Anthony Davis ($12,800): Much like Donovan Mitchell, I’m expecting Davis to throw the kitchen sink at Golden State in an effort to see a Game 6. He’s missed value in two of the four games this series, but he’s been huge in the other two games. Tuesday feels like a time where he’s going to come up huge once again. *****

Draymond Green ($9,000): Green is always a good bet to put up well-rounded offensive numbers. His real value comes on the defensive end, where he’s typically a consistent contributor. Expect him to have his usual solid numbers in Game 5. ****

High Value PF

Jae Crowder ($5,000): Crowder picked up in the start in Game 4 and finished with 23 fantasy points. He’s gone cold from the field in the last two games, but he did enough on Sunday to hit value. The chances and minutes will always be there for him. ***

Kevon Looney ($3,600): Looney has been a favorite low cost option of mine throughout the second round and he’s continued to at least hit value. He gets 20 minutes a night and does just enough scoring and rebounding to be around 15 fantasy points. There’s little chance of a big game, but as a low cost consistent contributor, you’d be hard pressed to find better. ***
