High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

LeBron James (at MEM – $12,000): Needs 51.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64.4 fantasy points against New Orleans. You just know what you’re going to get out of LeBron in this final stretch. He’s going to play big minutes and he’s going to do a bit of everything as he does his best to try and lift the Lakers to the playoffs. The Grizzlies can make things a slog but overall they aren’t a good team and LeBron will have a monster game against them because that’s what the Lakers need. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kevin Durant (at CHA – $10,000): Needs 42.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.3 fantasy points against Houston. No Draymond means Durant should find himself getting a couple more rebounds and assists. He plays a reliable good just because of the team he’s on and the matchup is a good one because the Hornets don’t offer much in terms of defense and play at a good pace. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (vs DAL – $7,100): Needs 30.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.3 fantasy points against Denver. Your only other option here is Kelly Oubre Jr and he probably has a higher ceiling at this point, but his lack of production against Atlanta has me a bit worried. Gallinari is on a back-to-back but it’s the Mavericks, who aren’t good and are even worse if Luka Doncic doesn’t play. Gallinari typically plays a reliable game. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
