High Salary SF
LeBron James, CLE at CHA ($11,600): James looked mortal on Tuesday night as he was held to 33 fantasy points against the Heat. Chalk it up to an off-night against a good defense and move on. James should be back to his normal self against the Hornets, who rank 30th against small forwards in their last 15 games. James is averaging 67 fantasy points in two games against Charlotte this season. He’ll be back over 50 fantasy points in this one. *****
Taurean Prince, ATL at MIN ($7,100): Prince had 42.5 fantasy points against the Rockets on Sunday. Dennis Schroder has already been ruled out for Wednesday’s game, which means Prince is the top option once again. He’s thrived as the lead guy in Atlanta late in the season and given the state of the Timberwolves right now, he should find more success on Wednesday. The Timberwolves just can’t be trusted right now and while they might win, they are likely to give up plenty of points. ****
Andrew Wiggins, MIN vs ATL ($6,800): Of course, if they give up plenty of points, they’ll have to score plenty of points. And Wiggins is a guaranteed 30 fantasy points right now. He’s failed to score over 20 points in his last three games, but he’s started to rebound the ball at a high level, which has helped his value. You know what you’re getting with Wiggins and there is nothing wrong with taking guaranteed points with the hope that Wiggins takes advantage of a great matchup. ***
