High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

LeBron James (vs LAC – $12,400): Needs 53 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 58.8 fantasy points against Phoenix. A quick note on Giannis. You can always take Giannis and you can always bet against the Suns. But like I’ve been saying about that game, it could get ugly and Giannis may not have the big game needed to justify the salary. But he’s Giannis and it’s the Suns. He’ll get numbers. As for LeBron, it’d do-or-die for the Lakers and I have to believe LeBron still cares. Unless he goes Kobe in 2006 playoffs. Remember that, Lakers fans? Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Brandon Ingram (vs LAC – $8,000): Needs 34.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31.9 fantasy points against Phoenix. Ingram has been playing well and the Lakers need him to keep it going if they want to keep hope alive. He’s stepped up beside LeBron and even though his salary has jumped, I trust him to step up in this game. You can save money and go with a reliable Gallinari, but Ingram has the higher ceiling. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Joe Ingles (vs NO – $6,700): Needs 28.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.6 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Ingles is rolling right now and is a big reason for the Jazz playing so well right now. And now he gets one of his easier matchups as the Pelicans haven’t played defense all season. He’ll get his shots and he gets plenty of assists in the Jazz offense. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
