High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Kevin Durant (at IND – $9,800): Needs 41.4 fantasy points. Durant was at 50.3 fantasy points against the Celtics on Jan. 26. As always, you typically know what you’re going to get with Durant. He does a bit of everything and he’s less likely to bottom out like Curry because he does more in other categories. So he’s always a reliable option. And he’ll get his usual numbers in this game with the possibility that he does more. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs ATL – $7,800): Needs 33 fantasy points. Harris had 29.7 fantasy points against the Kings on Sunday. Not his usual performance but there is reason to believe he’ll be better in this one. He’s been a reliable option all season and he’s shown a high ceiling as well. He’s also bounced back after rough outings and he’ll have a great opportunity to bounce back in this game given the opponent. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Will Barton (at MEM – $6,300): Needs 26.6 fantasy points. Barton has been fine in his last two games but his salary has climbed, which is going to make it a little tougher for him to hit value if he’s not going to log big minutes. But with Murray out of the lineup, Barton could see more opportunities and maybe his minutes will be up if the Grizzlies can keep this game competitive. I don’t love him on Monday but the opportunities will be there. Diagnosis: Inconsistent with a decent ceiling.
