High Salary C

Players costing over $6,250

Rudy Gobert (at HOU – $6,800): Needs 33.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 25.25 fantasy points against Houston. Gobert’s impact isn’t in DFS. Until they keep stats for “shots altered.” Once they do that, then Murray will be the best player in DFS history. He just hasn’t done much this series and there’s no reason to think he’ll pick it up in this game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.

Clint Capela (vs UTA – $6,700): Needs 32.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 15.25 fantasy points against Utah. Capela was down in Game 4 and that is worrisome but I still like him more than Gobert if you’re looking to pick between the two. Capela will be better in Game 5 because it would be tough for him to be much worse at this point. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value C

Players costing $6,250 or under

Derrick Favors (at HOU – $5,300): Needs 25.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.75 fantasy points against Houston. Favors is still coming off the bench and his minutes are still in question a bit but he’s at a good salary and has proven that he can deliver in a big way in this series. I think he’ll end up stepping up enough once again. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Andrew Bogut (vs LAC – $4,800): Needs 23.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.5 fantasy points against LA Clippers. But if you really want to save some money and still get some strong production, Bogut will be your option. He’s played well since the Cousins injury, gets the minutes, and he’s on the Warriors. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
