High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,250

Lou Williams (vs GS – $7,300): Needs 34.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27 fantasy points against Golden State. Lou was down in Game 3 because the Warriors decided they weren’t screwing around. Who knows what you’re getting out of the Warriors in Game 4 with two nights off in LA and an early game. Expect a big bounce back game for Lou in this one. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceilig.

CJ McCollum (at OKC – $7,100): Needs 33.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.25 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. While Lillard has gotten the headlines and attention, McCollum has been very good in this series. He can’t seem to miss and until I see him miss, I will trust every shot he takes to go in. Keep taking him until he gives you a reason not to. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value SG

Players costing $6,250 or under

Klay Thompson (at LAC – $5,800): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Klay hasn’t gotten it going in this series. But he’s still Klay Thompson. If you really want to save money, you can go with Danny Green. But Klay can get hot at any moment and the opportunities will continue to be there for him. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Jaylen Brown (at IND – $4,900): Needs 22.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.25 fantasy points against Indiana. Jaylen Brown came alive and Game 3 and the hope is that he can do it again. He’s been all over the place this season but he’s also proven to be a playoff performance. He’s starting and getting the minutes, which certainly helps. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
