High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Kawhi Leonard (at LAC – $10,700): Needs 44.3 fantasy points. You know what you’re getting with Kawhi on most night. He’s a reliable option and he has big game potential. And he typically delivers in this spot. The Raptors have lost two straight and three out of four. The Clippers are a tough matchup, but they are on a back-to-back and the Raptors need a victory. Expect Kawhi to deliver. Diagnosis: Love him on Tuesday. He’ll step his game up given the matchup and circumstances.

Danilo Gallinari (vs TOR – $6,700): Needs 27.8 fantasy points. I continue to love Gallinari. He had 36 fantasy points against the Suns on Monday. You know what you’re getting from him on most nights. He’s a reliable option with a high ceiling. But on a back-to-back and having gone to OT, these circumstances are rough. I’ll still trust him because he’s earned it at this point. Diagnosis: Reliable, high ceiling, tough matchup and circumstances.

Rudy Gay (vs PHO – $6,500): Needs 26.9 fantasy points. Gay had 47 fantasy points against the Jazz on Dec. 9. He’s been over 45 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He’s played well throughout this season and has really cut into the value of Aldridge. Against the Suns, scoring and rebounding should not be an issue for him. Diagnosis: Reliable, good ceiling, and it’s the Suns.
