High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Aaron Gordon (vs ATL – $7,200): Needs 33.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 39 fantasy points against Cleveland. Gordon has turned himself into a reliable player as of late and even though his salary has jumped up, it’s still not high enough based on his recent production. And he’s up against the Hawks. The pace will be up and Gordon has proven that he can do a bit of everything. You can rarely go wrong going up against the Hawks. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (vs BKN – $6,800): Needs 31.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.25 fantasy points against Chicago. You just know what you’re getting from Gallinari at this point. He’s been a very reliable option all season and he has a high ceiling with his scoring and rebounding. The matchup doesn’t matter on most nights but it’s certainly a good matchup on Sunday with the Nets weak frontcourt and being on a back-to-back. Very reliable with a high ceiling.Diagnosis:

Otto Porter Jr. (at SAC – $6,500): Needs 30.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 19 fantasy points against LA Clippers. OPJ was down against the Clippers but I’m not worried given the matchup on Sunday. He should be in for a bounce back night given the opponent. OPJ’s scoring and rebounding is typically there and he can always chip in with assists and defense. He’s played well more often than not for the Bulls and will be better in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
