High Salary SF

LeBron James, CLE vs PHI ($12,200): Aside from Anthony Davis, who is just unfair right now, LeBron James has been the best DFS in the league since the break. He had 63.9 fantasy points against the Nets on Tuesday. Everything still runs through him in Cleveland and he delivers on most night. He’s going to put up big scoring and rebounding numbers to go along with solid assist numbers. He needs 53.4 fantasy points to reach value. He had 68.1 fantasy points the last time these two teams met back in December. *****

Brandon Ingram, LAL at MIA ($7,400): Ingram is coming off a 51 fantasy point effort against the Hawks on Tuesday. He’s been over value in three straight contests. If Lonzo Ball is back in the starting lineup as expect, that will cut into Ingram’s value just a bit. But it shouldn’t be enough to keep him from reaching value. The Heat are first against the position in their last 15 games, but Ingram has played too well as of late to think he won’t at least hit value. ***

Josh Richardson, MIA vs LAL ($6,100): Richardson is well under the average salary, but your high salary options at small forward are pretty limited on Thursday. He’s been over value in all three games since the All-Star break, rediscovering his form that put him at the forefront of Most Improved Player discussion. He needs 26.7 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. Given his recent play, he should push 30 fantasy points in this one. ****
