High Salary SF

Josh Jackson, PHO vs BOS ($7,200): The status of T.J. Warren and Devin Booker is unknown at the time of this writing, but assuming both guys are out, that means Jackson will be the top option once again. He had 35.9 fantasy points against the Magic on Saturday. Elfrid Payton was able to perform well against his former team, but he can’t be counted on on a nightly basis if recent play is any indication. Jackson, on the other hand, can be counted on. The matchup is tough, but someone has to score for Phoenix. ****

Jeremy Lamb, CHA vs NY ($7,000): Lamb was finally held to under 30 fantasy points as a starter, finishing with 25.6 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Saturday. Still, with Nicolas Batum out of the lineup and Lamb starting, he’s a solid bet against the Knicks. Chalk up Saturday’s game to a partially off-night and expect him to bounce back with 30 fantasy points on Monday. ****

Jayson Tatum, BOS at PHO ($6,600): Tatum finished with 24.9 fantasy points against the Kings on Sunday. It was the Terry Rozier show on Sunday and the return of Jaylen Brown did cut into his value. But he’s your only other high salary option and technically, he’s the average salary. The matchup is a good one for Tatum and everyone on the Celtics, but he’s a slight risk at this salary due to Brown’s return. And if Marcus Morris is able to play, it’s possible Tatum falls just short of value. But the matchup is certainly fantastic. ***
