High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at DET – $10,500): Needs 48.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 50.5 fantasy points against Detroit. It’s Giannis. You know what you’re getting even in limited minutes. The limited minutes are going to hurt his ceiling overall but maybe with the Pistons being at home, they’ll have some kind of push in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at BKN – $6,500): Needs 29.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 58.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Harris, like Redick, found his shooting touch in Game 3. The hope is that he too continue this hot streak. He’ll continue to get shots and I like the forwards against the lack of Brooklyn frontcourt. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Rudy Gay (vs DEN – $5,100): Needs 23.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29 fantasy points against Denver. As expected, Gay showed up in Game 3. Once again, I always love the Spurs role players at home because the Spurs have a lot of good role players and guys who know how to step up at home. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

P.J. Tucker (at UTA – $4,500): Needs 20.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.5 fantasy points against Utah. Tucker has been a steady hand in this series and I’m not worried about him on the road. And I’m really not worried about Tucker when comes to being on the road. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
