High Salary SF

LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (10,600): Just like earlier this week, there are no star options at SG, but we have a full house of them at SF. LeBron dominates the Hawks and even though he only played 28 minutes in Game 2 he still managed 43.3 fantasy points. He has at least 43 fantasy points in four straight games and can go off and carry the Cavs if he needs to. He actually tends to do more statistically on the road since his teammates carry less weight, so look for a big game for LeBron tonight as he and the Cavs look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.∗∗∗∗

Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (10,000): Durant struggled in Game 1 and only managed 16 points, but he bounced back with a strong 28-point Game 2 with seven boards and four assists.  He still didn’t quite reach 40 fantasy points which is why I like him a little less than LeBron tonight.  I think the main difference is that Durant is being guarded by “The Klaw” which makes his job harder all night. ∗∗

Kawhi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs (9,100): Kawhi is cheaper than the other two megastars at SF, and he definitely has the potential to step up tonight as the Spurs head to OKC.  In Game 3 of the opening series, Leonard stepped up against the Grizzlies with his best game of the playoffs when he posted a massive 61.4 fantasy points. He has 37.5 and 32.9 fantasy points in his first two games in this series and looks to be a lock for at least 30+ regardless of game flow with plenty of potential for more if he gets his shot dropping.∗∗∗∗
