High Salary PF

Players costing over $6,250

Pascal Siakam (vs PHI – $6,800): Needs 31.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.75 fantasy points against Philadelphia. The injury clearly hindered Siakam in Game 4 and now it’s a concern heading into Game 5. Also, a concern is that Ibaka, who we’ll get to later, looks to have earned more minutes and should play a bigger role moving forward. He’s a slight risk with the new circumstances. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at TOR – $6,700): Needs 30.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.5 fantasy points against Toronto. Harris has been reliable in this series. You would like to see a bit more from him given his minutes and opportunities, but if you’re looking for the forward version of Kyle Lowry, then look no further than Harris. Or Marc Gasol. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value PF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Paul Millsap (vs POR – $5,900): Needs 27.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41 fantasy points against Portland. It doesn’t look like Millsap is going to fall off so with that said, you can keep taking him. Of course, watch this be the game where he falls off. I still like his game overall and he will continue to get big minutes. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

James Ennis III (at TOR – $3,600): Needs 16.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 20.25 fantasy points against Toronto. If you’re looking to save some money and still get reliable production, Ennis III is the way to go. He’s played well in this series and he will continue to get minutes because he’s finding ways to contribute. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.
