High Salary SF

LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (9,800): If you’re going to spend big at SF, James is the only superstar option tonight and has been putting together good fantasy numbers on a regular basis lately. He has at least 44 fantasy points in each of his last eight games with at least 55 fantasy points in four of his last seven. James had two good games against the Bulls earlier this season averaging 25.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, seven assists, and 1.5 steals. If you are looking to build around one high-priced player, James is the option over 10K that I would have the most confidence in tonight.∗∗∗∗

Kawhi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs (7,500): Kawhi also went into the break with a head of steam scoring at least 20 points in five straight games while averaging 22.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.6 steals over that stretch. He produced at least 43 fantasy points in each of his last three games and will need to be on top of his game as he leads the Spurs against the Clip-ship tonight in LA. I expect Kawhi to be ready for a big game again tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗

Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (7,100): Hayward is in a tasty matchup tonight against the Wizards who allow more fantasy points to opposing SF than any other team in the NBA. Hayward went into the break straight-out balling with at least 33 fantasy points in seven of his last ten including each of his last three. He is playing big minutes for coach Quinn Snyder and will continue to be the focus of the offense which should rest in big things in this matchup tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗
