High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,250

Stephen Curry (at LAC – $9,100): Needs 43.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.75 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Curry was slightly over value in Game 2 and you can typically count on Curry, especially against the Clippers. I fully expect the Warriors to bounce back because the Warriors are the Warriors. And Steph is a Bad Boy. He really said that. He thinks that. It’s on camera. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Lou Williams (vs GS – $7,400): Needs 35.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 61 fantasy points against Golden State. I’m not in the business of doubting the great Lou Williams against the Warriors. He’s been fantastic against them for the majority of the last two seasons and he’s already been very good in this series. He’s the best option and he should continue to deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value PG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Derrick White (vs DEN – $4,900): Needs 23.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23 fantasy points against Denver. White has played around value but what I like about him in this game is that the Spurs are at home. The Spurs are a strong team at home and White definitely gets the minutes and opportunities. Expect him to play above his ceiling in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Patrick Beverley (vs GS – $4,700): Needs 22.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22 fantasy points against Golden State. Beverley is not afraid. He’s not a big numbers guy but I know he’s going to get the minutes and he can find ways to chip in. He’s at a decent enough salary given the minutes and opportunities he will get. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
