High Salary SF

Kevin Durant-Golden State Warriors (9,800): While the Warriors lost in Cleveland, Kevin Durant lit up Christmas Day with 36-15-3 and 65.75 fantasy points. He has scored at least 22 points in each of his last five games with three games over 30 points. He has a least 56 fantasy points in each of those three games making him a very good option to invest in tonight. There is some volatility with Durant since he shares the floor with other dynamic scorers in Golden State, but he’s on a nice run right now and should be in a competitive game tonight against the Raptors. ∗∗

Carmelo Anthony-New York Knicks (7,600): Anthony and the Knicks are in Atlanta tonight to face the Hawks. The Knicks’ SF has at least 31 fantasy points in each of his four games since resting against Golden State including a 35-4-4 game for 53.5 fantasy points against the Pacers and 29-7-2 for 44.75  fantasy points against Boston on Christmas his last time out. Melo had a nice 31-7-3 game against Atlanta earlier this season, and he should again find plenty of room to work tonight.∗∗∗∗

Andrew Wiggins-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,600): Wiggins is a solid play again tonight after 21-4-2 for 33 fantasy points against the Hawks in just 28 minutes. He has at least 30 fantasy points in seven of his last eight games and has the poential to go off if his shot starts dropping. He had 25-3-1 against the Nuggets earlier this year, and he’ll look to post another strong line in Denver tonight at the Pepsi Center. Wiggins has a high ceiling in what should be a high-scoring game.
