High Salary SF

Paul George-Indiana Pacers (8,900): George has rediscovered his scoring stroke with over 30 points in each of his last three games and over 45 fantasy points in each of those contests as well.  Tonight, he’ll face the Magic in Orlando as the Pacers try to earn a split of their back-to-back games in F-L-A. When he’s on his game, George can be elite although his price is still a little less than elite at under 9K. 

Danilo Gallinari-Denver Nuggets (7,100): Gallo doesn’t seem to suffering any lingering affects of an ankle injury that cost him six games at the end of December.  In back-t0-back games out West, Gallinari had 24 points, six rebounds, and two assists against the Warriors followed by 29 points, five rebounds, three assists, a block, and a steal against the Blazers.  He had over 38 fantasy points in both those games, and he should be lined up for another good performance against the T-Wolves.

Andrew Wiggins-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,600): On the flip side of that matchup, Wiggins will look to keep his game rolling against the Nuggets.  He has at least 25 fantasy points in six straight games with three 30+ performances in his last four contests.  He averaged 21 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.8 steals in the teams’ three earlier meetings but his non-scoring numbers have been on the rise lately and he has been a solid contributor for a young T-Wolves team showing some nice upside.
