High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Kevin Durant (at IND – $9,400): Needs 42.1 fantasy points. Durant was up to 51.25 fantasy points against the Celtics on Jan. 26. As always with Durant, you typically know what you’re getting from him. He’ll almost never turn in a dud game and his ceiling is high given his ability to get numbers in all categories. This feels like a game where he just floats under the radar instead of have a monster performance but that’s still good for at least 40 fantasy points. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs ATL – $8,000): Needs 35.9 fantasy points. Harris was down to 31 fantasy points against the Kings on Sunday. Don’t be too alarmed. He’s been good all season and he just had a rougher than usual shooting night. He’s proven that he can bounce back after a rough game. Expect a bounce back performance in this game given the matchup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Tim Hardaway Jr (at CHA – $5,800): Needs 26.3 fantasy points. Hardaway Jr had 32 fantasy points against the Heat on Sunday. He’s been inconsistent throughout the year but he’s fairly hot at the moment and he gets a good matchup as the Hornets don’t offer much defense. I’m not in love with Hardaway Jr but he’s technically a high salary guy due to the lack of options. Diagnosis: Inconsistent but a good ceiling.
