Josh Richardson
ATLANTA, GA – APRIL 4: Josh Richardson /

High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Josh Richardson (vs ORL – $7,400): Needs 30.3 fantasy points. Richardson was down to 21.6 fantasy points against the Jazz on Dec. 2. His defense wasn’t there against Utah, but he’s typically reliable to grab a couple of steals and come up with a block. The scoring is typically there as he’s still one of the top scoring options on the Heat. The matchup is good and Richardson will bounce back. Diagnosis: Reliable, but a bit cold right now.

Jabari Parker (at IND – $7,300): Needs 29.9 fantasy points. Parker has been very strong in recent weeks. In his last five games, he’s averaging 36.8 fantasy points. A 20.2 fantasy point effort against the Pistons sinks that number a bit lower and he’s been even better in his last seven. The matchup is tough, but he’s getting numbers and I believe in the “fired coach” boost. Diagnosis: Matchup could be better, but he’ll get his numbers. Call him reliable with a good ceiling.

Harrison Barnes (vs POR – $6,500): Needs 26.6 fantasy points. Barnes slips in under the salary line. He’s been over 40 fantasy points in his last two games. His value is still largely tied to his scoring, but he did pick up his rebounding numbers against the Clippers. No Doncic certainly helped his value in that game. But even with Doncic in the lineup, he should continue to get buckets. Diagnosis: Typically reliable and a high ceiling if he could do a bit more than score.
