High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Kevin Durant (vs LAC – $8,200): Needs 37.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.75 fantasy points against LA Clippers. I have no doubt about Kevin Durant in Game 5. It’s a closeout game and he’s typically been money in these situations since joining the Warriors. And the Clippers obviously don’t have an answer for him. He’ll get his numbers, even in limited minutes. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (at GS – $6,300): Needs 29 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.75 fantasy points against Golden State. Gallinari has been fine in this series if you’re looking to save a little bit of money and still get decent enough production. He hasn’t exactly shown a high ceiling and it’s possible he bottoms out because I don’t have a good feeling about the Clippers on Wednesday. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.

High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Eric Gordon (vs UTA – $4,500): Needs 20.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.25 fantasy points against Utah. Gordon has been consistent in this series and if you’re looking for a reliable option at a good price, you could do a lot worse than Gordon. He’s going to get the minutes and chances which obviously helps and maybe he gets hot in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Andre Iguodala (vs LAC – $4,200): Needs 19.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 17.25 fantasy points against LA Clippers. It’s a closeout game for the Warriors and I expect them to close this thing out in fashion. Iguodala will always get the minutes and we know his role on the team. He gets decent production since he can do a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
