High Salary Forwards/Centers

Players costing over $8,333

Kawhi Leonard (vs GS – $12,000): Needs 50.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 68 fantasy points against Golden State. Kawhi was outstanding in Game 4 and I expect a similar performance in Game 5. The Warriors will try their best to take him away but they tried their best in Game 4 and it simply didn’t matter. Kawhi is locked in right now and have you ever seen a robot locked in on its target? It typically doesn’t end well for the target unless they are Arnold. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Draymond Green (at TOR – $10,600): Needs 40 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.25 fantasy points against Toronto. I still like Draymond more than the Splash Brothers because he can get points in all categories. And with Steph and Klay in the lineup, the game opens up more for Green. He’s a strong option with high potential given his well-rounded game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs GS – $9,600): Needs 36.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.25 fantasy points against Golden State. Siakam is a solid enough option because he’s going to get minutes and plenty of opportunities and we’ve seen him have a big game in this series. This feels like a big Kawhi and Lowry game but if for some reason they falter or the Warriors hone in on them, Siakam will be there to pick up the pieces. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
