High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,667

Draymond Green (at HOU – $8,600): Needs 38 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.2 fantasy points against Houston. Green continues to deliver in a big way for the Warriors. His scoring has actually gone up and his assist and rebounding numbers haven’t suffered at all. And we know he will continue to make a handful of defensive plays. I have no doubt about Draymond in the playoffs. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jayson Tatum (vs MIL – $7,000): Needs 30.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.7 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Tatum was huge in Game 3 and the Celtics will need more of that from him in Game 4. I do worry that this will be a Kyrie game and just about everyone on the Celtics will take a bit of a backseat as a result. But overall I like Tatum’s game. This salary does feel like a trap. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Marcus Morris (vs MIL – $5,900): Needs 26.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.6 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Morris has been great in this series and I always love his game more at home. I’m waiting for him to fall off because he is a streaky player but there’s no denying his production right now. This salary might be a tad too high but that’s mainly my own reservations. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

PJ Tucker (vs GS – $5,800): Needs 25.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 30.9 fantasy points against Golden State. Tucker has been great in the last two games and I will always like his game in this series. Even when he’s not shooting well, he impacts the game in other ways. If you want to save money at this position, Ersan Ilyasova should be your only option. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
