High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Paul George (vs GS – $9,700): Needs 45 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55.5 fantasy points against Indiana. If Paul George has found his shot again then he’s back to being a very reliable option with a high ceiling. I’m not fully convinced that his shot is all the way back but there have been encouraging signs. The Warriors will be in destroy mode, which is always scary. But PG finds a way to get his numbers. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Luka Doncic (vs CLE – $8,700): Needs 41 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 55.75 fantasy points against Denver. Luka has been over 43 fantasy points in four of his last five games. He just had a rough outing against the Spurs and plenty of playing have had rough outings against the Spurs. The Cavaliers are definitely not the Spurs. And Luka can do a bit of everything. I love him on Saturday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

DeMar DeRozan (vs POR – $8,200): Needs 37.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31 fantasy points against New York. If Kevin Durant ends up playing, you can take him in this spot because he’s always a reliable option as a member of the Warriors, especially against the Thunder. But if Durant doesn’t play, DeRozan is your only other option. He’s been playing well and is averaging 51.4 fantasy points in three games against the Blazers this season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
