High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Tobias Harris (at TOR – $8,500): Needs 37.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.6 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Harris came alive at the end of the series for the the Sixers and that’s hopefully good news for his value going into this series. The Raptors are going to be a much tougher matchup as he’s going to see a lot of Siakam and just the Raptors defense. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs PHI – $8,300): Needs 36.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.2 fantasy points against Orlando. Siakam has been a reliable option all season and he was a reliable option in the first round. Maybe his ceiling isn’t quite as high for him as Harris but he’s a more reliable player to me. He was up and down against the Sixers in the regular season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Serge Ibaka (vs PHI – $5,300): Needs 23.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.8 fantasy points against Orlando. Ibaka didn’t play many minutes against the the Magic which led to weaker production out of him than we had seen throughout the regular season. But he dominated the Sixers in the regular season, averaging 35/1 fantasy points in three games. If he can get the minutes, he could be a steal at this price. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Paul Millsap (vs SA – $4,800): Needs 20.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 16.8 fantasy points against San Antonio. Millsap hasn’t exactly brought it like I thought he would bring it in this series. Has salary has dropped to a nice price if he’s able to get it together and he gets the minutes to have a big game. The Nuggets will rely on him and his mindset but you don’t get fantasy points for good advice. You don’t have many more options at this spot though. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
