High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Kevin Durant (at BKN – $10,200): Needs 42.2 fantasy points. Durant has been over 50 fantasy points in the last two games. It can be tough to known who is going to have the big game between Curry and Durant, but Durant is more reliable thanks to his rebounding. He’s also been a better passer in the last two games. Diagnosis: You can rarely go wrong with Durant as he does a bit of everything. But Curry limits him on some nights, which is always a concern.

Paul George (vs PHO – $8,900): Needs 36.8 fantasy points. George has been a bit inconsistent this season thanks in large part to his shooting struggles. If Westbrook is out for the Thunder, it means George will be the focal point of the offense once again. He’ll get his points and do more in the assist and rebounding department without Westbrook. Diagnosis: Always take advantage of the Suns. George is reliable if nothing else.

Danilo Gallinari (vs WAS – $7,000): Needs 29 fantasy points. Gallinari had an off-night against the Rockets, but played just 21 minutes. I expect his minutes to be back up as the Wizards make things tougher than Houston did. And I expect Gallinari to find his form once again. Diagnosis: Don’t write him off after one mediocre night, especially given the matchup and how good he’s looked this season.
