High Salary SF

LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (10,000): LeBron finally caught Kevin Durant in the salary structure and both come into tonight with a cool 10K salary. Of the two, I’d go with LeBron since he comes in with great form after posting over 44 fantasy points in five straight. He went off and carried my FanDuel daily picks on Saturday with a monster 44-9-10 for 72.8 fantasy points. James has over 51 fantasy points in three of his last four and is definitely someone you can build your lineup around tonight. The only note of caution is that the matchup will be a tough one since the Grizzlies are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing SF.

Jimmy Butler-Chicago Bulls (9,000): Butler is probably a little bit better buy for the money tonight since he has a better matchup, costs less, and still has the potential for 50+. Butler had 50.9 fantasy points on Saturday on 31-7-5 against the Heat giving him over 43 fantasy points in five of his last six games. The Bulls should be able to put up a big number, and you know Butler will be ready to put on a show against his former coach Tom Thibodeau and Thibs new team from Minnesota.

Carmelo Anthony-New York Knicks (7,800): Anthony became a distributor on Sunday as the Lakers focused on taking the ball out of his hands. As a result, he had a season-high seven assists to go with 13 points and eight rebounds on his way to 36.1 fantasy points. ‘Melo has at least 36 fantasy points now in four of his last six games, and he’s in a great matchup tonight against the Suns who are allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing SF.
