High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Kawhi Leonard (vs PHI – $9,800): Needs 40.6 fantasy points. Leonard didn’t play on Monday but is scheduled to be back on Tuesday. And I expect the same thing I thought we were going to get from him on Monday. Both teams are on a back-to-back, but at least Kawhi is rested. He should be fresh and the Raptors have looked great with him in the lineup. Diagnosis: He’ll be the best player on the floor and he’s going to make life tough on Ben Simmons.

Paul George (vs LAC – $9,100): Needs 37.7 fantasy points. George found his shot against the Suns, but that was still the Suns. Hopefully, it’s a good sign for him moving forward. He had 38.6 fantasy points against the Clippers on Oct. 19, but Westbrook didn’t play in that game. George’s life is much easier with him in the lineup. Diagnosis: Hope that the Suns game is the start of him getting hot. Reliable to at least hit value.

Taurean Prince (at CLE – $7,300): Needs 30.2 fantasy points. Prince struggled against the Sixers, coming in with 15.2 fantasy points. It was his first rough outing of the season, so chalk it up to an off-night and move on. He had 29.7 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Oct. 21. He’ll be better on Tuesday as the Cavaliers try to figure out what they are doing. Diagnosis: Good matchup and a typically reliable option.
