High Salary SF
LeBron James, CLE vs PHO ($12,100): James had 73.25 fantasy points against the Raptors on Wednesday, putting him over 70 fantasy points for a fifth straight game. This streak starter when he had 72 fantasy points against the Suns on Mar. 13. It doesn’t matter how many minutes plays, just expect LeBron to deliver 70 fantasy points. With Kevin Love back in the mix, he has another reliable shooter that he can find in the corner. *****
Paul George, OKC vs MIA ($7,600): George had 45.75 fantasy points against the Celtics on Tuesday. He’s been at that number in two of his last three games. The matchup is tough on paper as the Heat rank fifth against small forwards in their last 15 games. George has been fairly consistent since the All-Star break, especially at this salary. He needs 34.3 fantasy points to hit value. Look for him to push 40 fantasy points once again.
Josh Jackson, PHO at CLE ($6,900): T.J. Warren is doubtful and Devin Booker is questionable on Friday. If Booker plays, that would take some pressure off Jackson, who had 33.75 fantasy points against the Pistons on Tuesday. He’s going to draw another start and play big minutes. He had 33.75 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Mar. 13. With or without Booker, 30-plus fantasy points should be expected from Jackson in this contest. ****
