High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Kevin Durant (vs BOS – $9,100): Needs 42.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 46.75 fantasy points against Philadelphia. You just know what you’re getting with Durant, especially with Klay out of the lineup. The scoring numbers are going to be there and he’ll run a bit more of the offense because All-Stars step up when All-Stars go down. Or something. He had 51.25 fantasy points in the Jan. 26 game against the Celtics. His ceiling is always a bit limited just due to being on the Warriors. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kawhi Leonard (vs HOU – $8,900): Needs 41.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55.25 fantasy points against Portland. Is Kawhi going to play in this game? I have no idea. Really no idea. It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s a back-to-back or anything anymore. He just kind of plays when he wants. Assuming he plays, this is a matchup that is going to bring out the best in him. He had 50.75 fantasy points against the Rockets on Jan. 25. You can always count on him in these big games. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs ORL – $7,400): Needs 34.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.25 fantasy points against Golden State. Harris continues to deliver for the Sixers and if Butler and Embiid are both out in this game, Harris becomes an even strong option. Plenty of points should be scored in this one and Harris is the best scorer on the Sixers. Yes, even better than Butler. He’ll also get more rebounds without Embiid and chip in with a few assists. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
