High Salary SF

LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (9,800): The Cavs star will surely bring his A-game as he takes on the Warriors tonight in Cleveland, and you know the building will be hopping.  James has been a consistent fantasy performer as of late, but he’s also put up a few huge nights.  He had 63.75 fantasy points just over a week ago against the 76ers and has at least 42 fantasy points in six of his last nine.

On Christmas, LeBron did all he could playing 39 minutes and taking 26 shots to finish with 15 points, nine boards, two assists, two blocks, and a steal.  He’ll look to bring his team a win at home tonight, and if you can find a way to get his salary under your cap, he’ll likely deliver a big game even with Harrison Barnes back in the starting lineup opposite him. ∗∗∗∗

Jae Crowder-Boston Celtics (6,600): Crowder will be fired up to return to Dallas for the first time since being included in the package that landed Rajon Rondo in Big D.  Crowder has blossomed with Boston and has been on a tear lately with a huge start to the month averaging 18.8 points, 2.1 steals, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over his nine games this year.  He has at least 30 fantasy points in eight of his last ten games and has exactly 42.0 in each of his last two games.  In his last game on Saturday, Crowder had finished with 22 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.  He has exactly the balanced multi-category game I try and target with my wing selections, and he should be motivated to keep producing big numbers in a revenge game tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗
