High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at BOS – $10,100): Needs 46.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 69.25 fantasy points against Boston. Giannis came alive in the biggest way in Game 3. Will he get to the line 100 times in Game 4? Probably not because the refs will call the game differently. But he’s not going to change his mindset and he’s still Giannis. You can always take him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Draymond Green (at HOU – $6,900): Needs 32.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55.75 fantasy points against Houston. Draymond just keeps getting it done for the Warriors. As always with Draymond, he will rarely overwhelm in a single category but he will always get numbers in multiple categories. And he’s a triple-double threat in each game as well. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Marcus Morris (vs MIL – $5,100): Needs 23.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Marcus Morris has been the best player, at least from a DFS perspective, for Boston in this series. He’s shooting the ball well and contributing with rebounding and defense. And I always like his game more at home. Keep taking him until there are signs of a drop off. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

PJ Tucker (vs GS – $4,500): Needs 20.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30 fantasy points against Golden State. Tucker has been great in the last two games and I have no doubt about him in this series. He still isn’t shooting well, but he’s making up that value with his rebounding and contributing with some assists and defense. I still love him as a reliable salary saver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
