High Salary SF

Gordon Hayward – Utah Jazz ($7300): No George Hill tonight so give me all the Hayward in what should be a faster paced game than the Jazz normally play. Hayward dropped 45 FP on them earlier this season and he could go for a higher total tonight with both Hill and Favors still out.

LeBron James – Cleveland Cavaliers ($10000): The only concern tonight with LeBron is the blowout factor. He’s ripped the Sixers for an average of 62 FP this year and he will be in high gear tonight to stop the Cavs’ skid. Cleveland needs to win tonight badly, so look for Bron to assert himself in a bigger way than usual.

Kawhi Leonard – San Antonio Spurs ($9400): Kawhi gets the Thunder tonight and that means a faster pace and more possessions than usual for the Spurs. I prefer LeBron and Hayward tonight but I’m not sleeping on Kawhi by any means. He’s due for a monster game and while Andre Roberson is a fine defender, it’s hard not to give Kawhi consideration for GPP play tonight.

Paul George – Indiana Pacers ($8000): The Pacers desperately need a win tonight so you have to think that the team’s best player will step it up against the Raptors. George is just one game removed from a 60 FP performance, and he posted 40 FP against the tough Grizzlies’ defense in his last game. I expect somewhere in the middle of that tonight, right around 50.

Nicolas Batum – Charlotte Hornets ($6900): I mentioned earlier that Batum has a super spicy matchup against the woeful Nuggets tonight and you best believe they’ll be getting after it while they a sliver of hope left for a playoff spot. I did not mention Kemba in the point guard section, but I could see where a contrarian stack of Kemba and Batum could be a solid play. Most people will be on LeBron, so Batum could make for a nice pivot.
