High Salary SF

Jimmy Butler-Chicago Bulls (9,000): In four of his last five games, Butler has at least 42 fantasy points with the one downer being his horrible game off the bench in Miami when he shot 1-13. He turned that around in a hurry though with 44 fantasy points against the Sixers and then a 11-17 shooting game for 46 fantasy points against the Thunder while playing just 30 minutes in a Chicago rout. Tonight, he gets to take ton the Rockets in a high-flying game that should be both fun to watch and fun to own Jimmy Buckets in.∗∗∗∗

Paul George-Indiana Pacers (8,100): I was in on PG13 on Wednesday so i know the burn from his 8-7-3 and 19.25 fantasy points against the Magic. Before that, thought, he had been rolling with 45+ fantasy points in four straight. He should be ready to bounce back, so give him a shot if you have a short memory or want someone in the best possible matchup since the Nets  have been the worst team in the NBA against opposing SF this season. George had 26-1-3 against Brooklyn in December, but I still think he’s a little risky after his dud on Wednesday.∗∗

Harrison Barnes-Dallas Mavericks (6,200): Barnes lit up the Blazers back in December for 28-7-0 and over 35 fantasy points, and he’ll face them again tonight as he looks to continue his strong first season in Dallas. Barnes had 24-11-3 for 44.25 fantasy points against the Cavs on Monday which gave him at least 33 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He dropped off a bit on Wednesday with just 29.25 fantasy points against the Sixers, but I think he’ll bounce back with a good game in a good matchup tonight.∗∗∗∗

Jae Crowder-Boston Celtics (6,200): Crowder is also in a good matchup against the Lakers tonight and the SF has bee a huge part of Boston’s recent success with at least 27 fantasy points in 11 straight games. Lately, he has been even better with four straight games of 34+ fantasy points before just 27.5 fantasy points on Wednesday. Against the Lakers, he should be able to fill it up once again since LA has allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing SF on the year.∗∗∗
