High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Pascal Siakam (at ORL – $7,600): Needs 36.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.75 fantasy points against Orlando. Siakam has been a big time player in this series and there’s no reason to think he’ll slow down now. The Magic have no answer for him and while they put more attention on Kawhi, Siakam can continue to feast. Until he has a bad game, just assume he’ll keep having strong games. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Draymond Green (at LAC – $6,800): Needs 32.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME -36.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. It’s playoff time against an overmatched team which means it’s Draymond’s time to shine. He gets numbers in all categories and even though he may not put up huge numbers in a single category, he puts up consistent numbers, especially in the playoffs. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Thaddeus Young (vs BOS – $5,900): Needs 27.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.75 fantasy points against Boston. Young has been very good in this series, going over 30 fantasy points in all three games. The Pacers aren’t winning this series but Young has made his presence felt if nothing else. It’s the last stand for the Pacers and I expect Young’s best game of the series. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Jerami Grant (vs POR – $5,200): Needs 24.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28 fantasy points against Portland. Grant found his shot in Game 3 because role players always shoot better at home. He will continue to get the shots and the Thunder role players have proven that they can step up throughout the season. Especially with the way Paul George is playing right now. Expect Grant to step up again. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
