High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Luka Doncic (at NY – $8,800): Needs 40.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 69.5 fantasy points against Toronto. I have no doubt about Luka right now. It doesn’t matter the opponent, I’m taking him. Even though the Mavericks haven’t been good on the road, this is the Knicks. And Luka is going to put on a show at the Garden. I am positive of it. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Buddy Hield (vs ATL – $7,200): Needs 32.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Hield is doing a bit more than scoring in his last few games which has really helped his value. If he can continue to contribute with assists and rebounds then he’ll be a more reliable option. This is a good matchup for him with the pace of both teams. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Josh Richardson (vs CHI – $6,300): Needs 28.6 fantasy points LAST GAME – 25.25 fantasy points against New York. Richardson has been more miss than hit in recent games but he’s entering into a good matchup on Wednesday. The Bulls are not good and they are on a back-to-back. And Richardson has played very well against the Bulls this season. I expect a return to form, even if it’s just for a night. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
