High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

DeMar DeRozan (vs DEN – $9,400): Needs 41.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.3 fantasy points against Denver. DeRozan has been consistent in this series and I’m always going to trust the Spurs at home. Obviously you can go with Harden because you can always go with Harden. But it’s a high salary and I expect Utah’s best game of the series. DeRozan is more reliable due to the lower salary. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Khris Middleton (at DET – $7,600): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43 fantasy points against Detroit. Another consistent option would be Middleton. He plays on. The best team in the league and the Pistons have no answer for this Bucks squad. He’s another guy who is going to get you value if nothing else. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Gary Harris (at SA – $5,600): Needs 24.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.3 fantasy points against San Antonio. Harris has stepped up in this series and he’s one guy on the Nuggets who I expect to keep stepping up. He’s not afraid of these moments and while Murray is all over the place, Harris is more of a steady hand. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Luke Kennard (vs MIL – $5,200): Needs 22.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.8 fantasy points against Milwaukee. You can always go with Connaughton in this spot but role players typically don’t play as well on the road. And even though the Bucks are the Bucks, if there is going to be a drop, it would be Game 3. Kennard played very well on the road and should keep finding enough success at home. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
