High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Kevin Durant (vs MIN – $10,700): Needs 44.7 fantasy points. As always, you typically know what you’re getting with Durant. He’s good for at least 40 fantasy points and has the ability to have a big night if his shot is falling. He’s boosted his value with assists and he produces with rebounds and defense. The Timberwolves, even with Jimmy Butler, won’t have an answer for him. Diagnosis: Reliable high salary guy with a high, albeit limited, ceiling.

Kawhi Leonard (at PHO – $10,300): Needs 43 fantasy points. The only concern here is this one being a blowout. Even in a blowout, Leonard is going to produce big numbers because it’s the Raptors against the Suns. It’s pretty easy to see how this one is going to end. I expect a big game out of Leonard. Diagnosis: He’ll get his DFS numbers for as long as he plays, but may not play quite enough.

Danilo Gallinari (at ORL – $7,000): Needs 29.2 fantasy points. The ever-reliable Gallinari had 35.1 fantasy points against the Sixers on Thursday. The Magic are an easy matchup, although the back-to-back in a bit concerning. Still, Gallinari has rarely disappointed this season and while he may not have a huge game, he consistently produces over value. Diagnosis: A reliable player with a very good matchup.
