High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Pascal Siakam (vs PHI – $7,400): Needs 35.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40 fantasy points against Orlando. Siakam has been strong all season and strong throughout the playoffs. He averaged 34.2 fantasy points in four games against the Sixers this season. But again, all four games were before the deadline. I still like Siakam’s game overall and the Sixers will have a tough time with him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at TOR – $7,100): Needs 32.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Harris got it going after the first two games and it’s been a big help to the Sixers. I don’t know what to expect from him in this game because I haven’t seen him on the Sixers against the Raptors. But the ceiling is high for Harris and they’ll certainly need his scoring. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Serge Ibaka (vs PHI – $4,600): Needs 21.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.5 fantasy points against Orlando. Ibaka’s minutes have been down in the playoffs but this is a matchup he absolutely dominated in the regular season. Ibaka averaged 35 fantasy points in three games against the Sixers. There’s some sneaky strong value in this play if he can get around 25 minutes. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

James Ennis III (at TOR – $3,500): Needs 16.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.25 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Not a ton to like out of the value forwards. Paul Millsap is a high ceiling option but is also a low floor guy. But Game 7 feels like Millsap time if you’re feeling risky. Ennis is getting decent enough minutes right now and had 18.5 fantasy points against the Raptors on Jan. 25 if you’re looking for some kind of confidence in him. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a decent ceiling.
