High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Kevin Durant (at LAC – $10,600): Needs 44.8 fantasy points. Durant had 60 fantasy points against the Pelicans on Jan. 16. Of all the Warriors players on Friday, I’m most concerned about Durant’s value with Cousins back in the lineup. The Splash Brothers will continue to get shots but Durant’s post ups could go to Cousins. And he’ll lose some rebounds. He’s not going to hurt you but he might fall short of value. Diagnosis: Good ceiling but I’m most worried about him on Friday.

Danilo Gallinari (vs GS – $7,200): Needs 30.5 fantasy points. Gallinari was down to 15.3 fantasy points against the Jazz on Jan. 16. It was a rough night for him but he’s been good throughout this season so I’m going to say it was just an off night and expect him to be better in this one. He had 40.7 fantasy points against the Warriors on Dec. 23. Diagnosis: Expect a bounce-back performance and he’ll at least get you value.

Justise Winslow (at DET – $7,000): Needs 29.6 fantasy points. I love Winslow in this game. The Pistons are not good and Winslow has been great since turning into the point forward. The assists will be there and his scoring numbers should be up in this game. Plus he’ll chip in with some defense and a handful of rebounds. Just a lot to love from Winslow in this game from the matchup to the salary. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
