High Salary SG

Players costing over $6,667

James Harden (at GS – $11,800): Needs 50.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME: 58.2 fantasy points against Utah. It’s James Harden, which means he’s going to get his numbers. Maybe the Warriors gimmick their defense like the Jazz. If they don’t, Harden will be Harden. He struggled a bit against the Warriors last season, but I’m not doubting this version of him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Khris Middleton (vs BOS – $7,600): Needs 32.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME: 23.3 fantasy points against Detroit. Khris Middleton was up-and-down in the first round but the Bucks weren’t really tested in the first round. Middleton was good against the Celtics this season, averaging 35.4 fantasy points in three games. He should be at value if nothing else in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value SG

Players costing $6,667 or under

Andre Iguodala (vs HOU – $5,700): Needs 24.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME: 36.8 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Andre Iguodala is the best player on the Warriors and maybe the best player in the league. Warriors in four as long as they have a healthy Iguodala, even if Steph Curry misses the entire series. Iguodala is going to get plenty of minutes and we know he can step up. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Eric Gordon (at GS – $5,000): Needs 21.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME: 29.1 fantasy points against Utah. Eric Gordon was a reliable option throughout the first round and we know he’s going to get the minutes and opportunities. He was up-and-down this season against the Warriors and that’s his game overall. But the minutes are there and he can contribute. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
