High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Luka Doncic (at ORL – $9,300): Needs 43.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64.75 fantasy points against Washington. Luka looked more like himself against the Wizards but the Wizards make most teams look good. Orlando typically plays to their competition, which should help Luka in this matchup. You can also look at Kawhi and Durant but I’m not enamored with either one on Friday. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at HOU – $7,400): Needs 34.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 18.5 fantasy points against Chicago. Harris has a very rough outing against the Bulls but he’s been too good this season to think he won’t bounce back. The Bulls felt like a personal thing for Butler, which took away from Harris. Butler won’t be as engaged against the Rockets and they’ll need Harris more. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Aaron Gordon (vs DAL – $6,900): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39.75 fantasy points against Philadelphia. I typically don’t like Gordon but he’s been playing well lately and I do like this matchup. The Mavericks aren’t going to offer much in terms of defense and Gordon is a very good scorer who can always pick up plenty of rebounds. I trust Aaron Gordon in this game. Famous last words. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
