High Salary SF

Kawhi Leonard – San Antonio Spurs ($9500): I love Kawhi tonight against LeBron and the Cavs and he went off for 58.5 FP against them in the overtime win earlier this season. He rattled off a bunch of 60+ FP games earlier this month but he’d been a bit quiet of late until he went for 50 against the Knicks on Saturday. I think he’s in for a big night in what will be the showcase game of the night in the NBA.

LeBron James – Cleveland Cavaliers ($10300): LeBron remembers. He remembers the finals loss and he remembers the overtime loss earlier in the season. He’s not one for “statement games,” but I do think he will put on a show with Kawhi tonight. He needs to get to 60 for value and I think he’ll be close tonight. This game actually has the highest over/under total of the night, so don’t look at it as a defensive battle.

Tobias Harris – Detroit Pistons ($6000): If you’re looking for a lower-priced option at small forward, you won’t find a much better matchup — at least on paper — than Tobias Harris. He’s simply gone off on the Knicks this season with two games over 45 FP and an average of 43.75 per game over three contests. It’s apparent he loves the matchup and he’s coming off a couple of duds, so chances are he’s low-owned tonight.

Harrison Barnes – Dallas Mavericks ($6300): Not a lot of high-priced small forwards tonight so Barnes makes the cut on this list. He’s enjoyed his run against the Thunder this year with an average of just under 34 FP per game. Dallas plays at a slow pace but Barnes used to get up and down the floor with the Warriors the same way Russ and the Thunder do, so the pace of the game fits his style. No expects him to go off but 30-40 FP seems to be the standard for Barnes.
