High Salary C

Clint Capela ($9,400): Capela has been a beast in this series and is coming off his best performance of the postseason, finishing with 57 fantasy points in Game 4. He’s getting it done with scoring, rebounding, and defense at the moment. His salary keeps rising, but he should continue to deliver at least 40 fantasy points. ****

Rudy Gobert ($7,800): Gobert has been missed in three of four games in this series. He’s been around 30 fantasy points in the last two games and is typically a good bet to be around that number. It doesn’t look like Ricky Rubio will play, which means Gobert’s ceiling remains limited. ***

High Value C

Nene ($2,500): If you’re not taking Gobert or Capela, just take a $2,000 player and save the $500 or $1,000 that you would spend on Nene or one of the Golden State centers. No one below Gobert is going to play enough minutes to make an impact that you can’t make up at a different position. I’m only using Nene as an example because he’s at least seen some playing time in the last two games. *
