High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Kevin Durant (at LAC – $11,300): Needs 46 fantasy points. Durant had 57.5 fantasy points against the Clippers on Nov. 10. You know what you’re getting with Durant when Curry is out of the lineup. He’s a triple-double threat and his assist numbers go way up as he’s the primary playmaker. And the points are always there for Durant. Diagnosis: Reliable and great circumstances. He almost always delivers without Curry.

Paul George (vs PHO – $10,300): Needs 41.9 fantasy points. George has been solid in the last couple of games without Westbrook in the lineup. The scoring numbers may not be there, but he’s picking up those extra rebounds and becoming more of a playmaker. Against the Suns, I expect George to put up his typical solid rebounding and assist numbers while boosting his scoring. Diagnosis: Reliable with a decent ceiling and a great matchup.

Kawhi Leonard (vs NO – $9,400): Needs 38.2 fantasy points. Leonard was down to 24.9 fantasy points against the Knicks but played only 23 minutes. The Pelicans game should be more competitive, which means Leonard should play plenty of minutes. He’s been great when he’s logged big minutes this year and can be counted on to show up in these big games. Diagnosis: I trust the Raptors and Kawhi with they way they’ve looked this season. Especially against good teams.
