High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Kawhi Leonard (at IND – $9,000): Needs 40.5 fantasy points. Kawhi is definitely going to play in this game, right? Right? Answer me, Toronto. The Raptors held him out of the first game of the back-to-back so I can only assume that he plays in this game. Unless he doesn’t. Check the injury report before making any decisions. If he does play, you know what you’ll get from him. He had 58 fantasy points against the Pacers on Dec. 19 and have been great all season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling assuming he actually plays.

Tobias Harris (at MIA – $7,800): Needs 35.1 fantasy points. Harris had just 29.75 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Tuesday. Expect him to be better in this matchup. He’s been good all season and I’m not willing to write him off after this game. The circumstances are still good with the injuries and he’s built up enough good will with him to take him in this spot. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.

Justise Winslow (vs LAC – $6,400): Needs 29.2 fantasy points. Winslow was down to 24.25 fantasy points against the Celtics on Jan. 21. It’s been rough sledding for Winslow and I’m about ready to write him off. But he had 46 fantasy points against the Clippers on Dec. 8 and it’s a back-to-back for the Clippers, who might be depleted still. I’ll give him this game to prove himself. Diagnosis: Inconsistent but a high ceiling.
