High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Paul George (vs MIN – $10,300): Needs 47.1 fantasy points. George was down to 37 fantasy points against the Wizards on Jan. 6. Don’t be alarmed. He’s been too good this season to think it was anything more than an off night. He’ll bounce back with a strong performance in this game because he’s been very good all season. Trust that the Wizards game was just a rough night and expect him to be better in this one. Diagnosis: He’ll bounce back and post a big game.

Tobias Harris (vs CHA – $7,600): Needs 34.7 fantasy points. Harris had 46.25 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 6. He’s been a bit up-and-down in recent games, but he’s rarely going hurt you and the matchup is great on Tuesday. Harris should have no issue getting his points and rebounds in this one. Diagnosis: Good matchup, reliable, good ceiling.

TJ Warren (vs SAC – $7,100): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. Warren had 43.75 fantasy points against the Hornets on Jan. 6. He’s been very good during this stretch aside from a rough night against the Sixers. And if Booker doesn’t play, his value goes up. And it’s the Kings, where the pace is fast and there is typically plenty of scoring. Just a lot to love from Warren on Tuesday. Diagnosis: Love him in this matchup. Expect a big night.
