High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Kawhi Leonard (vs ORL – $9,500)

Needs 43.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41 fantasy points against San Antonio.

Kawhi has cooled off a bit prior to the break and in the first game back but he remains the best player on the floor on most nights. Points shouldn’t be an issue for either team in this one, but especially Toronto. He’ll get you value if nothing else.

Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (at DEN – $6,700)

Needs 30.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.5 fantasy points against Memphis.

Gallinari has been a reliable option for most of the season and that should be the case against his former team. He’s at a good salary given his usual minutes and opportunities.

High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Evan Fournier (at TOR – $5,800)

Needs 26.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.75 fantasy points against Chicago.

Fournier has been giving solid production in recent games and he can do a bit of everything on most nights. It’s a matchup where he’ll get plenty of chance as the Raptors are a good team that will make you work. I’lll trust him until he shows signs of slipping.

Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Rudy Gay (at NY – $5,700)

Needs 26.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33 fantasy points against Toronto.

I don’t know if Aldridge will play in this game but the Spurs will probably be better off holding him out given the opponent. With or without Aldridge, Gay has been a strong option all season. If Aldridge doesn’t play, that only increases his ceiling.

Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
