High Salary SF

LeBron James – Cleveland Cavaliers ($10500): Bron had that monster 79.75 FP game against Charlotte earlier in the season, and with the exception of the Denver game last time out he’s been steadily posting 50 and 60 FP games. Kevin Love being back in the starting lineup is sure to alter his usage totals, but he’s still LeBron James, and they are fighting to keep the top seed in the East.

Jimmy Butler – Chicago Bulls ($9200): As I noted earlier, the Bulls have a killer matchup against the Sixers tonight, and they actually seem motivated and united recently. They are just a game away from the eighth seed in the East, and Butler has had 45 FP or more in four straight games, including that epic 67.5 FP effort against the Raptors. He needs to push it to about 55 FP tonight to hit proper value, a feasible task versus the poor defending Sixers.

Wilson Chandler – Denver Nuggets ($6500): Chandler returned from injury to post a solid 30.25 FP for his first game back against a tough Cleveland defense. Tonight he’ll play the weak rebounding Pacers, a team he almost hit 40 against in their first meeting this year. We all know he has a high ceiling, too.

Otto Porter – Washington Wizards ($6100): Porter has not been producing big fantasy numbers recently, but I like him to bust out of that tonight against Brooklyn. He’s averaged a bit over 32 FP per game against them this season and he’s more than due for a solid outing. Bogdanovic has eaten into his minutes a bit, but if he’s getting it done he still can see more than 30 minutes per game.
