High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Paul George (vs PHO – $8,300): Needs 38.4 fantasy points. If George can get his three-point shot to start falling, he’d really boost his value. The Celtics game was a struggle for him, but he’s been performing well in DFS this season despite his shooting struggles. The Suns are a great matchup and George is just waiting to explode. Diagnosis: Reliable option who may finally break out of his slump given the matchup. But there’s some better value below him.

Tobias Harris (vs WAS – $7,100): Needs 32.8 fantasy points. Harris has been up-and-down this season, but when he’s up, his value is better than George’s. As I’ve said plenty throughout these slides, I don’t know what to make of the Wizards. But I do know that their defense is not good and Harris should have no problem getting points and rebounds. Diagnosis: Good matchup. Reliable to at least give you value and potentially outperform George on a cheaper salary.

Danilo Gallinari (vs WAS – $6,300): Needs 29.1 fantasy points. Gallinari finally had an off-night against the Rockets, but he only played 21 minutes as the Rockets got raced. He should find more minutes against the Wizards. He’s delivered all season and Sunday should be no exception given the matchup. Diagnosis: Love the salary, the matchup, and the way he’s been playing. Very confident in his ability to deliver.
