High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

LeBron James (at MIL – $10,800): Needs 45 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 53.2 fantasy points against New York.LeBron is still playing enough minutes to have big games and about the only thing he’s playing for right now is his numbers. What a sad state we’ve reached with LeBron James. If Giannis ends up playing in this game, you can take him with confidence. Even at that salary. He’s Giannis and he’s up against the Lakers. The salary really doesn’t matter for him at this point. As for LeBron, his ceiling remains high. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Kevin Durant (at MIN – $9,500): Needs 39.5 fantasy points. It’s a back-to-back for the Warriors and I guess it’s possible they rest Durant in this game. It’s also possible that they rest Curry or Thompson. As long as Durant plays, you know what you’re getting from him. He’s a reliable option and the ceiling is always high because he’s Kevin Durant. If somebody on the Warriors ends up resting, his ceiling goes up. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (vs IND – $7,500): Needs 31.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 42.7 fantasy points against Brooklyn. You just know what you’re getting from Gallinari on most night. He’s been over 42 fantasy points in three of his last four games and has been a reliable option for most of the season. The Pacers are on a back-to-back, which should help his value. Either way, you can always count on him to give you at least value. Expect him to keep his scoring up while still getting enough rebounds in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
