High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Kawhi Leonard (vs OKC – $8,900): Needs 41.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.5 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. I’m always going to like Kawhi when there’s another top player across the court of him. And I’m going to like him even more with Lowry out of the lineup. Kawhi should continue to deliver strong outings given the circumstances. And with Paul George not exactly being Paul George at the moment, Kawhi is having an easier time than you would expect. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

DeMar DeRozan (at HOU – $8,000): Needs 37.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47.75 fantasy points against Miami. DeRozan has played very well in his last two games and he was excellent against the Rockets back in December when he scored 54.25 fantasy points. The Rockets defense is still all over the place and the Spurs are playing very well right now. The Spurs will need his scoring if they want to keep pace with the Rockets and I trust him to score. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (at CLE – $7,000): Needs 32.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36 fantasy points against Indiana. As always, you just know what you’re getting out of Gallinari on most nights. He’s turned into one of the most reliable options in DFS as the minutes and opportunities are always there for him. And now he gets the Cavaliers. This should be another easy night for Gallinari and his ceiling has gone up due to the matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
