High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

LeBron James (at PHO – $11,400): Needs 53.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 58.25 fantasy points against Milwaukee. You can’t go wrong with LeBron against the Suns. Especially with the Lakers still needing every win they can get. There’s a chance that LeBron won’t have to be LeBron because it’s the Suns and maybe they can get enough out of Kuzma and Ingram. But LeBron probably won’t take many chances and he’ll just look to end it before it gets started. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Kevin Durant (at PHI – $9,200): Needs 42.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.25 fantasy points against Miami. Durant sat out against the Magic so if nothing else, he’ll be rested and ready to go for this game. Butler gets a lot of attention and Durant usually likes to make a statement in these games. The Warriors offense hasn’t been a problem and Durant getting his numbers definitely won’t be a problem in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs GS – $7,700): Needs 35.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.75 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. And while I don’t love Butler’s game in Philly, I continue to love Harris’ game. And With Embiid out of the lineup, he continues to be the best frontcourt player for the Sixers. They’ll need a big game out of him if they hope to beat the Warriors. The Warriors offense might not be a problem, but their defense looks bored. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
