High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs BOS – $10,000): Needs 45.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.5 fantasy points against Boston. Giannis wasn’t good in Game 1 but he’s still Giannis. The playoffs are all about adjustments and I fully expect the Bucks to make the right adjustments and get Giannis going in this game. He will be better in Game 2 because, by Giannis’ standards, it’s tough for him to be much worse. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Draymond Green (vs HOU – $6,600): Needs 31.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.25 fantasy points against Houston. As always, I continue to love Draymond Green in the playoffs because he continues to prove his worth in the playoffs. He’s not going to overwhelm in a single category but he will continue to get good numbers in all categories that add up to plenty of DFS production. He will deliver again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Jayson Tatum (at MIL – $5,500): Needs 25.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21 fantasy points against Milwaukee. It wasn’t Tatum’s turn to have the big game for the Celtics but as I said in the previous slide, it could easily be his turn in this one. The Celtics depth is just that good. And we know Tatum can get going with his scoring. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Gordon Hayward (at MIL – $5,200): Needs 23.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Hayward continues to look more like himself although I do caution once again with the Boston depth guys. And yes, Hayward is more of a depth guy at this point. Horford and Kyrie are the two guys who I don’t consider depth when it comes to DFS numbers. But I like Hayward’s game overall. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
