High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Paul George (vs POR – $8,900): Needs 40.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.5 fantasy points against Portland. Paul George still can’t shoot consistently but he till gets numbers because he’s an exceptional player. If nothing else, he will continue to get you value. And if he can find his shooting rhythm, the ceiling is much higher. But based on his play, I do have to lower his ceiling. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kevin Durant (at LAC – $8,600): Needs 39.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Do you think Steve Kerr will run more plays for Durant after his Game 3 performance? I would say it’s a good strategy. No one is slowing Durant except for Durant and the Warriors actually running their offense. If nothing else, he’s a reliable player. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Terrence Ross (vs TOR – $5,500): Needs 25.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.25 fantasy points against Toronto. Ross has been a fairly reliable option in this series. He’s one of the few guys on the Magic who can get his own shot and he’s definitely not afraid to shoot it. The ceiling is high because he does get his shots but he can also run cold. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Andre Iguodala (at LAC – $4,600): Needs 21.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Iguodala continues to play well in this series because Playoff Iguodala is the best player in the league according to every Warriors game. As far as his DFS value goes, he is certainly a reliable player. The minutes and chances are there and he’s on the Warriors. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
