High Salary SF

LeBron James – Cleveland Cavaliers ($10600): Do I really have to plead the case of rostering LeBron? He’s averaged just under 60 FP per game against the Hawks this year, the Cavs need a win, and defensive stalwart Thabo Sefolosha is out. Quite the newsflash: LeBron James is good at basketball and he’s good for your lineups tonight.

T.J. Warren – Phoenix Suns ($6800): Warren put up a dog of a game last time out but he was also battling an illness. He should be back to a full minutes load tonight against OKC, a fast-paced game that should lead to plenty of opportunities for Warren. The price seems a bit steep but he could go for 40 tonight.

Danilo Gallinari – Denver Nuggets ($6300): Gallinari has been great of late, getting heavy minutes and plenty of shots. He just had a nice 28/5/3 line against the Pels earlier in the week, good for 41.25 FO. Expect a similar total tonight in what is sure to be one of the highest-scoring games on the slate.

Gordon Hayward – Utah Jazz ($7400): With George Hill and Derrick Favors still out, and Rodney Hood questionable, we can expect Hayward to get close to 20 shots tonight against the Timberwolves. He’s coming off a 30-point night against the Blazers, and if he gets that many shots tonight he will strike a similar total. Not my favorite play due to the pace of the game but he’s worth a look.
