Cade Cunningham, Detroit Pistons vs. Orlando Magic ($10,700)
Cunningham is $2,300 more expensive than the next best guard in this contest, but he’s worth every penny. He is the Pistons’ offense, and the fantasy points in this series reflect his value. He’s finished with 59.5, 59, 46.8, 43.8, 53.5 and 51.2 in this series. Expect similar value in Game 7 in Detroit.
Other Options: Donovan Mitchell ($8,400), James Harden ($8,300), Desmond Bane ($7,000)
Ja’Kobe Walter, Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers ($4,900)
With Brandon Ingram out, Walter has stepped up. He put up 40.2 fantasy points in Game 6 and 37.2 in Game 5. If Ingram is out again, Walter is a great value option. He’s recorded at least 20 points in back-to-back games with at least three steals in three straight games.
Other Options: Anthony Black ($5,200), Jamal Shead ($4,800)
Scottie Barnes, Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers ($9,200)
Barnes fills up the box score every game, making him a valuable player even when he’s not scoring. He recorded 66.8 fantasy points in Game 6 and has at least 43 fantasy points in all but one game this series. He’ll be on the road for Game 7, but he’ll need to be active everywhere for Toronto to win.
Other Options: Paolo Banchero ($9,300), Evan Mobley ($7,800), RJ Barrett ($7,700), Tobias Harris ($6,600)
Collin Murray-Boyles, Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers ($5,800)
The Raptors have a plethora of talented young players, and Collin Murray-Boyles might be my favorite. He’s such a versatile defender and gives his team anything it needs on both ends. That’s reflected in fantasy points, as he had 17 points, seven rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals for 36.8 fantasy points in Game 6.
Other Options: Dean Wade ($3,600)
Evan Mobley, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors ($7,800)
There aren’t many stud centers in this slate, but that doesn’t mean Mobley is a bad consolation prize. He’s capable of hitting 50 fantasy points as he did in Game 6, but he also had a low of 27.2 this series. He’s not as expensive as other top-end talent because his production fluctuates, but he’s still capable of posting elite fantasy numbers.
Other Options: Jalen Duren ($6,700)
Sandro Mamukelashvili, Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers ($3,500)
Like I said before, the center position is thin for this slate. Finding value is difficult, but I like Sandro Mamukelashvili in Game 7. The Raptors’ big has 12.5, 16.8, 19.5, 3.5, 30.5 and 18.5 fantasy points this series. He’s not going to put up 50 fantasy points, but he’ll chip in at a low cost.
Other Options: Wendell Carter Jr. ($5,800), Collin Murray-Boyles ($5,800), Jakob Poeltl ($4,000)
