High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Paul George (vs ATL – $9,100): Needs 37.2 fantasy points. George was down to 29.8 fantasy points against the Cavaliers on Nov. 28, but he got into foul trouble and played just 25 minutes. Expect him to be able to stay on the floor a bit more against the Hawks. He’s typically reliable for numbers in all categories and the Hawks are a great matchup because they are the Hawks. Diagnosis: He’ll bounce back. The minutes will be up and he’s been reliable with a high ceiling all season.

Josh Richardson (vs NO – $7,900): Needs 32.3 fantasy points. Richardson was up to 47.6 fantasy points against the Hawks on Nov. 27. It was the Hawks, so take it for that. But it’s not like the Pelicans defense has been much better. Richardson can do a bit of everything and is the most reliable scorer on the Heat this season. I don’t love a lot of Heat players in DFS because their offense isn’t great, but Richardson typically finds ways to contribute. Diagnosis: Matchup is good and he’ll get value at the very least.

Jabari Parker (at DET – $7,300): Needs 29.9 fantasy points. Parker has been fantastic during this recent stretch, going over 38 fantasy points in five straight. He still can’t play defense and it’s very much a “good numbers on a bad team” situation, but that stuff doesn’t matter for DFS players. He’ll continue to put up good numbers on a bad team. Diagnosis: High ceiling and turning into a reliable option. Can do a bit of everything, which has been nice to see this season.

Quick Hits

LeBron James ($11,000): It’s LeBron, but the Lakers are on a back-to-back and Lakers LeBron can be weird.
