High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Luka Doncic (vs DET – $8,400): Needs 38.5 fantasy points. Luka was down to 37.25 fantasy points against the Clippers on Jan. 22. He didn’t have a good shooting night and maybe the return of DSJ threw him off a bit. But he’s still a high ceiling player and the Pistons are not a good team. Expect Luka to return to form here unless DSJ really messes with his rhythm. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at CHI – $8,200): Needs 36.8 fantasy points. Harris bounced back with 50.25 fantasy points against the Heat on Jan. 23. He’s been a reliable option all season and with Gallinari still out of the lineup, Harris continues to have a high ceiling. And it’s the Bulls. They are not good and Harris should have no issue getting his points and rebounds in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kawhi Leonard (at HOU – $9,500): Needs 42.7 fantasy points. Kawhi is supposed to play in this game. I’ll believe it when I see it. I love this matchup for him as the Rockets are not a very good team outside of Harden while the Raptors are one of the better teams in the league. Kawhi has been reliable all season and shown a high ceiling. He’ll have a big outing in his return. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
