High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Rudy Gobert (at HOU – $8,300): Needs 37.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.8 fantasy points against Houston. I still don’t like Gobert because his impact isn’t felt in DFS. And he was down big in Game 4. You have to trust him to come up with plenty of blocks and rebounds because the points probably won’t be there. His ceiling remains high but the price is a bit too rich given his usual production. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling.

Clint Capela (vs UTA – $7,700): Needs 34.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 14.4 fantasy points against Utah. Capela had his worst game of the series in Game 4 and that will give a lot of people pause. But the Rockets are back at home and they’ll be able to adjust. Capela should bounce back in this performance and find a way to come through. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Andrew Bogut (vs LAC – $5,000): Needs 22.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22 fantasy points against LA Clippers. But if you want to save money at this position, Bogut is the way to go. The minutes will be there and he gets numbers given the team he’s on. And it’s not like the Clippers have a real answer for him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Ivica Zubac (at GS – $3,900): Needs 17.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41 fantasy points against Golden State. I don’t know if Zubac will play in this game. If he’s on the bench, I wouldn’t trust that he’ll end up getting in the game. But if he starts, you can take him with confidence because at least the minutes will be there for him. Diagnosis: Inconsistent with a high ceiling.
