High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Kawhi Leonard (at MIA – $10,400): Needs 43.3 fantasy points. Kawhi and Lowry should be back together on Wednesday. It’ll make Kawhi’s life easier, but also lessen his value just a bit. He had 52 fantasy points against the Heat on Nov. 25. Points are not an issue for him and he chips in on other areas. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

TJ Warren (at ORL – $7,600): Needs 31.6 fantasy points. Warren was down to 15.3 fantasy points against the Nets on Dec. 23, but it was after the triple OT game so I’m not too concern. He had been playing great prior to that game and he has a good matchup on Wednesday. The scoring should return and he’s been chipping in with assists and rebounds. Diagnosis: Reliable, good matchup, high ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (vs SAC – $7,300): Needs 30.4 fantasy points. Gallinari had 40.7 fantasy points against the Warriors on Dec. 23. He’s been reliable this season and shown a very high ceiling. The Kings are better, but their pace allows for a lot of fantasy points against. Gallinari should have no issue getting his numbers in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
