High Salary Forwards/Centers

Players costing over $12,000

Kawhi Leonard (at GS – $16,000): Needs 60.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.3 fantasy points against Golden State. Kawhi was much better in Game 2 although his shooting numbers weren’t great. He’s still Kawhi and that means he’s a serious problem for anyone and everyone. This will be tough for the Raptors going on the road against the Warriors. But this is also where Kawhi will shine. Expect him to deliver once again. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Draymond Green (vs TOR – $13,000): Needs 49.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.5 fantasy points against Toronto. Draymond said he would be better in Game 2 and while it didn’t translate into a monster DFS game, you could tell he was more active and engaged on the defensive end. And that’s bad news for the Raptors. I like Draymond more than Siakam and they are the same price. I also like Draymond as a PRO or STAR pick. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (at GS – $13,000): Needs 49.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 29.1 fantasy points against Golden State. Siakam fell off in Game 2 which wasn’t all that surprising as the Warriors made the proper adjustments and had a more focused attack on Siakam. Now it’s the Raptors turn to counter. Look for them to try and put Cousins in more disadvantageous situations to get Siakam going a bit more. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
