High Salary PG

Players costing over $6,667

Kyrie Irving (vs MIL – $9,400): Needs 40.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.6 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Expect to see Kyrie’s best performance of the series in this game. He won’t want to go down 3-1 nor does he want to lose two straight at home. Kyrie knows he needs a big game and as the leader of the Celtics, he will look to carry them in a big way. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Stephen Curry (at HOU – $8,900): Needs 38.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.6 fantasy points against Houston. It’s been a rough shooting series for Steph and his overall numbers were down in Game 3. He’s still Steph Curry and there is always that threat of him delivering a big game because that’s what he does. But proceed with some caution. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Chris Paul (vs GS – $8,300): Needs 35.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 38.1 fantasy points against Golden State. But if you want a more reliable option than Curry, Chris Paul should be your choice. He’s been consistent in this series and while he doesn’t have the ceiling of Curry, he’s also a more steady hand. And maybe he does have one big game in him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value PG

Players costing $6,667 or under

George Hill (at BOS – $4,900): Needs 21.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.3 fantasy points against Boston. Hill stepped up in Game 3 and with Malcolm Brogdon out once again, they will need Hill to continue to be good for them. He’s a veteran who knows how to deliver on the road against a good team like the Celtics. That kind of experience is invaluable in these moments. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
