High Salary SF

Kawhi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs (8,500): The Spurs took a surprising loss to Milwaukee this week, but they bounced back with a big win on Thursday over the Lakers. Kawhi had 30+ points in both games with 54.25 fantasy points in the Tuesday loss and 42 fantasy points in just 26 minutes in the Thursday win. He missed the Spurs last game against the Suns but posting 18-10-4 for over 40 fantasy points against them in Phoenix in the middle of last month. The Suns are allowing the tenth-most fantasy points per game in the NBA to opposing SF this season, so Kawhi has a good shot to be over 40 fantasy points again tonight with upside for over 50.∗∗∗

Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (7,200): Hayward only had to play 26 minutes last night in a lop-sided affair against the Pistons. He had 20-4-3 with three steals for 35.5 fantasy points in his limited playing time, but he should be fresh and ready to roll tonight in a good matchup with the Magic. Hayward had 47.75 fantasy points earlier this week as the Jazz knocked off the Cavs on 28-9-2 with a block and a steal in 37 minutes. He has at least 31 fantasy points in nine of his last 12 games including over 35 fantasy points in each of his last three. Orlando is also playing on the second night of a back-to-back, and since the game is in Utah I expect another strong showing from the Jazz..∗∗∗∗

Otto Porter-Washington Wizards (6,600): Porter probably wishes he could play the Celtics every game. He dominated them for a career-night earlier this year and had a very nice 20-6-5 on Wednesday for 42 fantasy points. He has at least 34 fantasy points in four of his last five and could be called on to pick up the slack if Wall is limited or out tonight. He has 40+ fantasy points potential but should get you at least 30 fantasy points making him a nice low-risk option at this price against the 76ers who allow the fourth-most fantasy points per game in the NBA to opposing SF.
