High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Paul George (vs ORL – $11,500): Needs 48.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51.8 fantasy points against Boston. You know what you’re getting out of Paul George. He does a bit of everything and has been very reliable all season. He had 59.2 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 29. Even in a blowout, he’s going to deliver big numbers because if it’s a blowout, there’s a good chance that he’s the reason why. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kawhi Leonard (at PHI – $9,800): Needs 41.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Kawhi was down against the Clippers because it was a blowout so don’t pay much attention to that. He’s averaging 60.8 fantasy points in two games against the Sixers this season. I always like him in big games because he typically delivers in these big games. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at CHA – $7,800): Needs 32.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 20.8 fantasy points against Toronto. If LeBron plays, you can always take LeBron with confidence. Especially since he’ll freeze out his teammates in an effort to prove that he can do it all himself and they can take them to New Orleans for literally nothing for all he cares. Just kidding. Maybe. As for Harris, he’s been down in the last two games and that’s slightly concerning. But give him this game to bounce back. He’s at a good salary and has been reliable for most of the season. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
