High Salary SF

LeBron James, CLE at PHI ($11,400): After missing value in two straight, James bounced back with 58.8 fantasy points against the Wizards on Thursday. He’s averaging 52.8 fantasy points in three games against Philadelphia this season. He needs 48.4 fantasy points to hit value on Friday. There’s a small chance the Cavaliers take it easy on LeBron with the Cavaliers entrenched in third and on a back-to-back. There’s also a small chance the Cavaliers don’t make the NBA Finals. Expect him over 50 fantasy points once again. *****

Josh Jackson, PHO vs NO ($8,000): Jackson hasn’t missed value in nearly a month. He’s on a roll right now and there is no reason to doubt him given his current level of play. His salary has jumped to where he needs 34 fantasy points to reach value. The Pelicans are 25th against the position in their last 15 games. He’ll continue to be the top option with Devin Booker and company still sidelined. ****

Robert Covington, PHI vs CLE ($6,800): Dario Saric is expected back in the lineup, which will cut slightly into the value of Covington, but not enough to keep him under value. He needs 28.9 fantasy points to reach value against Cleveland. He’s been hit-and-miss against Cleveland this season, but with the Cavaliers on a back-to-back and the Sixers looking to make a statement heading into the playoffs, expect him over 30 fantasy points. ****
