High Salary SF
LeBron James, CLE at CHI ($11,900): It would be a miracle for James not to his value at this point. He’s been over 70 fantasy points in his last two games. He needs 53.1 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. You know he’s going to get you at least 50 fantasy points and likely collect a triple-double. As the Cavaliers continue to lose players to injuries, James has to do more than he’s already doing to keep Cleveland afloat. He’ll have his usual big game. *****
Nicolas Batum, CHA at NY ($8,100): Batum is on fire right now, going 15-plus fantasy points over value in his last three games. He’s missed value just once in the last month. He had 27 fantasy points against the Knicks on Dec. 18, but that game was too long ago to mean a whole lot. Neither team is playing for much, but Batum is definitely reminding the world of why he’s one of the better two-way players in the league. He’ll be over 40 fantasy points once again. *****
Joe Ingles, UTA vs SAC ($6,300): Ingles has been over value in six straight. The Jazz continue to get great matchups and Ingles continues to deliver. That should not change on Saturday as the Kings are at the bottom of the West and on a back-to-back while the Jazz are looking like a legit sleeper to pull off a first-round upset. He needs 27.3 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. He should be over 30 fantasy points without an issue. ****
