High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at BOS – $11,800): Needs 48.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 69.6 fantasy points against Boston. Giannis definitely looked like himself in Game 3 and while I doubt he lives at the line in Game 4, he’s going to keep being aggressive in this series. He’s the best player on the floor and he’s been the best and most consistent player in DFS all season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kevin Durant (at HOU – $11,000): Needs 45.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 58.6 fantasy points against Houston. This continues to be Durant’s series as Steph and Klay just aren’t shooting like Steph and Klay right now. Meanwhile, Durant can’t seem to miss and the Rockets certainly don’t have the answer for him. He should get it done once again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Gordon Hayward (vs MIL – $5,400): Needs 22.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 23.9 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Hayward bounced back with a good Game 3 after an invisible Game 2. The minutes will continue to be there and his salary has actually dropped, which helps your cause. I like him well enough in this game as I expect the Celtics to come out with their best effort of the series. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Nikola Mirotic (at BOS – $4,700): Needs 19.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 18.6 fantasy points against Boston. Mirotic remains in the starting lineup and even though he wasn’t quite as effective in Game 3, he’s still going to get the minutes and opportunities. The rebounding should tick up a bit and the shots will continue to be there for him. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
