High Salary SF

Kevin Durant, GS vs BKN ($10,200): Durant has missed value in five straight. He’s come within two fantasy points of hitting value in his last three. You pretty much know what you’re going to get from Durant. He’ll be over 40 fantasy points, and even if he misses, it won’t be by much. And there’s always a chance that he has a big performance if other players on the Warriors struggle. Steph Curry is scheduled to play, but the Warriors might be careful with his minutes following another ankle scare. ***

Paul George, OKC vs HOU ($8,600): The Rockets are ninth against the position in their last 15 games. George has been hit-and-miss since the All-Star break. His hits have come against non-playoff teams. His misses have come against playoff teams. The Rockets are the best team in the league, which doesn’t give me a ton of confidence in his game on Tuesday. He needs 37.8 fantasy points to hit value. He had 34 fantasy points against the Rockets on Christmas. He’ll be around value, but likely slightly under. ***

Otto Porter Jr., WAS vs MIA ($7,600): The Heat are first against the position in their last 15 games, but on a back-to-back. They got to rest their players in a blowout against Phoenix, but still had to travel. More importantly, Porter Jr. has been great in recent contests, going over value in five straight. He needs 33.4 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. He should push 40 fantasy points as the Wizards take advantage of a tired and inconsistent Miami squad. ****
