High Salary SF

LeBron James (9,900): While other positions are a little thin, the SF spot is a cavalcade of stars tonight with Durant, LeBron, PG13, and Melo all in action tonight.  Of the four of them, the one with the most current form is LeBron who is coming off of back-to-back games with over 49 fantasy points after scoring 26 points to go with eight assists and six rebounds last night in Milwaukee. LeBron will be in a great matchup against the Nets tonight who have allowed the most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SF over their last five games.  There’s a chance it’s a blowout and LeBron takes it easy or even that he takes the chance to rest, but if he plays tonight he’s my top SF pick of the elite options. ∗∗∗∗

Paul George-Indiana Pacers (9,000): Like his teammate Monta Ellis, George didn’t have to carry his usual workload on Monday against the 76ers as the team cruised. He shot poorly in that contest going just 4-16 from the field for 15 points after dropping three times that many in his previous game against the Thunder and totaling 61.4 fantasy points in that much more competitive game.  If George has to play his usual minutes tonight against the Pelicans, he could fill up the scoresheet again with a big night against Luke Babbitt and company. The risk is that he won’t have to play as much and will take it easy a bit like he did on Monday. I expect a good game from him tonight although I would take LeBron over him as long as James isn’t taking the night off. ∗∗∗

Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (6,700): Hayward showed no signs of his bothersome foot injury in his game last night in Houston scoring 22 points to go with six boards, five assists, and four steals. He totaled 45.7 fantasy points in that contest but he did play 40 minutes.  Fatigue will be a concern as he tangles with Kevin Durant and the Thunder tonight, but Hayward has fared pretty well against them this season with at least 19 points in each of his three previous games against the thunder this season. My only hesitation is last night’s workload. ∗∗
