High Salary SF

Jimmy Butler, MIN at POR ($9,000): Butler is currently listed as questionable, so check his status before making any decisions. My gut tells me that the Timberwolves will hold him out and play him on Thursday against the Warriors, which is a much bigger test for the Timberwolves. Assuming Butler plays, I figure he won’t be on a minutes restriction because, you know, Thibodeau. He had 42 fantasy points against the Blazers on Jan. 14. He should be around 35 fantasy points if he plays. ***
T.J. Warren, PHO vs IND ($7,100): Warren didn’t play in Jan. 14 rout against the Pacers, which is one reason why I expect the Suns to be a bit more competitive on Wednesday. Warren has been 9+ fantasy points over value in his last two games. As of late, when he hasn’t been scoring, he doesn’t done much to make up that value elsewhere. But he continues to score, especially now that Devin Booker has become the top playmaker. He should be around value on Wednesday. ***

Harrison Barnes, DAL vs HOU ($7,100): Barnes has missed value just once since the calendar turned to 2018. He had 37 fantasy points against the Wizards on Monday. He’s been a consistent play all season, hitting value in 77 percent of games. The Rockets are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. You know what you’re getting from Barnes on a nightly basis. He’s going to put up solid scoring numbers and find a way to make up the rest of his value elsewhere. Take him knowing you’ll get around 30 fantasy points. ***
