High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Paul George (vs POR – $9,700): Needs 44 fantasy points. You know what you’re getting with George. He’s been reliable all season and he has a high ceiling depending on how well he’s shooting the ball and if he’s picking up assists. He had 53 fantasy points against the Blazers on Jan. 4. There’s no real mystery when it comes to his game and the circumstances are good with the Blazers on the road and playing a late back-to-back. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Luka Doncic (vs LAC – $8,400): Needs 38.7 fantasy points. Luka had 54.75 fantasy points and a triple-double on Monday against Milwaukee. It’s a back-to-back for the Mavericks but they are typically better at home and Luka has just been outstanding this season. He had 52 fantasy points against the Clippers on Dec. 20. I’m not doubting Luka at this point. He’s proven himself too much this season. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at DAL – $8,000): Needs 36.3 fantasy points. Harris had 60.75 fantasy points against the Spurs on Jan. 20. With the injuries to Williams and Gallinari, Harris had to pick things up. And that’s exactly what he did. And that’s why I love him again on Tuesday. I trust him to raise his level of play and the Mavericks would certainly be a good matchup as they are coming off a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
