High Salary SF

LeBron James, CLE at BKN ($12,800): James was a bum on Friday, finishing with 49.7 fantasy points against the Suns. Granted, he played only 29 minutes. His minutes might be down again on Sunday, which is the only concerning thing about taking him. His salary has dropped a bit, but he still needs 55 fantasy points to reach value. He had 63.9 fantasy points against the Nets on Feb. 27. If he plays 30-plus minutes, he’ll get you 50-plus fantasy points. But maybe you don’t want to risk him playing limited minutes in a game that the Cavaliers should roll in. ****

Paul George, OKC vs POR ($7,900): The Trail Blazers are 22nd against the position in their last 15 games. George was miserable on Friday, finishing 27 fantasy points and failing to find the basket with his shooting. He had 35.4 fantasy points against the Blazers on Mar. 3 and needs 34 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. He’s too good to struggle in the same manner that he did against Miami, but his shooting troubles since the break are real. He should be around value, but proceed with caution. ***

Taurean Prince, ATL at HOU ($7,400): The Rockets are first against the position in their last 15 games. But if Dennis Schroder can’t play, Prince is the only reliable option on the Hawks. He’s coming off a 38.8 fantasy point performance against the Warriors on Friday. The matchup is tough, but somebody has to put up points for Atlanta and Prince is the best option of the bunch. ***
