High Salary SF

LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers (9,900): The Cavs dropped both halves of their back-to-back earlier this week in Utah and Portland, but they’ll look to avoid a three-game losing streak as they head to Sacramento to face the Kings. LeBron’s assists have been down a bit over his last few games and he has only reached 50 fantasy points in one of his six games in 2017. He always has the potential to go off, but at this price he’s a risky play on the road tonight.∗∗

Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (7,400): Hayward gets a good matchup against the Pistons tonight who are on the second night of their back-to-back after losing last night to Kevin Durant and the Warriors. Hayward seemed to shake off his mini-shooting slump when the Jazz returned home last Tuesday to take on LeBron James and the Cavs. Hayward ended up with 44.8 fantasy points in that game on 28-9-2 with a block and a steal in 37 minutes. He has at least 31 fantasy points in eight of his last 11 games but a rough three-game stretch on the road to start 2017 helped lower his price to where he’s a good value especially at home tonight.∗∗∗∗

Andrew Wiggins-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,800): Wiggins had 28 points on Wednesday against the Rockets totaling 34.8 fantasy points. Over his last seven games, Wiggins has been a roller-coaster ride with two games under 16 fantasy points, two games with at least 47 fantasy points, and three games with 25-35 fantasy points. Tonight, he’ll take on the Thunder who he had 32.6 fantasy points against back on Christmas with a 23-3-2 line. His inconsistency makes him risky, but he has undeniable upside especially if he has to carry more of the load with Zach LaVine questionable.∗∗
