High Salary Forwards/Centers

Players costing over $8,333

Kevin Durant (at HOU – $11,000): Needs 49.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.25 fantasy points against Houston. This is the Kevin Durant show in the playoffs. He’s doing whatever he wants against any opponent thrown out him. I have no doubt about Durant’s game and he should continue to deliver without question. The Rockets simply don’t have an answer for him because no team has an actual answer for him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Draymond Green (at HOU – $9,200): Needs 42.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.5 fantasy points against Houston. Draymond continues to step up in the playoffs and it’s a big reason why the Warriors are up 2-0 in this series. Steph and Klay haven’t quite been Steph and Klay but Draymond’s defense has made up for their lack of offense. He’s dominating Capela right now. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Clint Cappella (vs GS – $7,200): Needs 34.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.5 fantasy points against Golden State. Capela was at value in the last game, which is the good news. He’s still struggling a bit in this series but the minutes will continue to be there. And with the series now in Houston, maybe he finds comfort at home and MDA makes the proper adjustments to get him going. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
