High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Paul George (vs TOR – $11,000): Needs 45.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.3 fantasy points against Miami. If Giannis ends up playing, you can always take Giannis with confidence. George looks to be back in rhythm and with Russell Westbrook back in the lineup, his job becomes easier. This just feels like a game the Thunder rise up for. People counting them out, tough matchup, Nick Collison night. They turn up with a big performance and Paul George really bounces back. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kawhi Leonard (at OKC – $9,600): Needs 39.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 53 fantasy points against Detroit. Will Kawhi play in this game? Who knows. I certainly don’t know 12 hours before the game starts. The Raptors probably don’t know until an hour before the game starts. Assuming he plays, this is a great matchup for him because there’s a guy across the court who is going to push him. Kawhi plays his best when there’s a guy across the court who is going to push him. And there are actually two guys on Wednesday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Cedi Osman (vs MIL – $6,600): Needs 27.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 37.8 fantasy points against Detroit. Cedi has been over 31 fantasy points in four of his last five games. He’s under the salary line but due to uncertainties with Giannis and Porter Jr, he makes the list for Wednesday. It’s a tough matchup but the Bucks are on a back-to-back and maybe won’t care all that much. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
