High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Pascal Siakam (at ORL – $8,700): Needs 37.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.2 fantasy points against Orlando. Siakam has been a monster in this series and there is no reason to think he’s going to slow down now. The Magic have no answer for him and the Raptors are fine running more things through him over Kawhi. Keep taking him until he gives you a reason not to. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Thaddeus Young (vs BOS – $7,500): Needs 32.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.3 fantasy points against Boston. I also like Draymond Green if you want to spend a little bit more. But Young has been very good in this series and with the Pacers season on the line, he should continue to keep it going in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Jerami Grant (vs POR – $5,700): Needs 24.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.9 fantasy points against Portland. Grant hit shots in Game 3 because role players play better at home. And Grant has proven that he can step up because he’s done so all season. With the Thunder still being at home, he should be in for another strong night. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Al-Farouq Aminu (at OKC – $5,200): Needs 22.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.8 fantasy points against . Aminu was down a bit in Game 3 but he still delivered around value and his salary has dropped. He’s been good against the Thunder all season and he’s one guy that I trust to be consistent despite being on the road. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
