High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Paul George (at NO – $12,500): Needs 53.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 80.4 fantasy points against Portland. You know what you’re getting from Paul George. It’s a high salary but Paul George is an unstoppable player right now. There is a blowout possibility in this one but if it turns into a blowout, it’ll be because Paul George is an unstoppable player. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jonathan Isaac (vs CHA – $6,800): Needs 29.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.9 fantasy points against New Orleans. I love the way Isaac is playing right now and I have the utmost confidence in his despite his salary jumping. He’s shooting the ball well, chipping in with rebounds and coming up with defensive plays. I also love this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

Kevin Knox (at ATL – $5,800): Needs 24.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 10.2 fantasy points against Philadelphia. I still like Knox’s game overall but it’s just not translating to DFS scoring on most nights. I like this matchup as the Hawks will play at a high pace and we’ve seen Knox show a high ceiling. Diagnosis: Inconsistent with a high ceiling.

Taurean Prince (vs NY – $5,500): Needs 23.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 28.7 fantasy points against LA Lakers. If Huerter is out, that will lead to more opportunities for Prince. He’s already a starter and he gets solid minutes but he’s been very inconsistent this season. The good news is that he gets to play the Knicks on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a good ceiling.
