High Salary SF

LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (10,100): LeBron will be fired up for his final game against Kobe, but there is risk of a blowout to be careful of if you go with the King tonight in LA. James had 25 points, 11 boards, and six assists last night on his way to a solid 42.2 fantasy points. He has been solid lately with over 40 fantasy points in seven straight, but he has only reached 50 fantasy points twice during that span.  With him playing on the second night of a back-to-back, his 10K price is a little risky for me especially since he may try and get some rest if the game gets out of hand early. ∗

Kawhi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs (8,700): Kawhi is the other high-salary SF expected to play tonight, and I actually like his potential a little better as he faces the Bulls.  Leonard is coming off a down game against the T-Wolves on Tuesday when he played just 25 minutes after logging 40 the night before.  Kawhi had 26 fantasy points in that contest on 15 points, five rebounds, and two assists. Before that game, Leonard had been pouring on the fantasy contribution with at least 40 fantasy points in five of his previous six games. As his playing time on Tuesday reminded us, there’s always a chance he gets “Popped” and rested if the game gets out of control, but I expect a high-scoring competitive game tonight against the Bulls, so I think Kawhi will end up with a good, balanced line and approach a double-double. ∗∗∗∗
