High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

TJ Warren (at MIN – $6,200): Needs 26.1 fantasy points. It is brutal at small forward, but here we go. Warren had 26.6 fantasy points against the Hornets on Saturday. His value is still largely tied to his scoring but he could see more scoring opportunities because the Suns will likely be shorthanded and Warren would see more shots as a result. And it’s not like the Timberwolves defense is any good. Diagnosis: A tad inconsistent but a good ceiling.

Kelly Oubre Jr (at MIN – $5,900): Needs 24.9 fantasy points. Oubre had 36.1 fantasy points against the Hornets on Saturday. I love Oubre’s game and he could see even more opportunities in this one if the Suns decide to go smaller due to the injuries. But if nothing else, he’s going to get you value. He does a bit of everything and just continues to make plays for the Suns. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Bojan Bogdanovic (vs CHA – $5,500): Needs 23.2 fantasy points. It’s been a rough stretch for Bojan and he was down to 17.9 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Saturday. The opportunities are still there for him and he’s at a decent enough salary given his usual production. And the Hornets are a good matchup given their usual defense. He’s not even a high salary guy. He’s a value guy although there might be better value out there. Diagnosis: Good ceiling but ice cold.
