High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Kevin Durant (vs LAC – $8,800): Needs 40.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.75 fantasy points against Cleveland. You typically know what you’re getting out of Kevin Durant. And he’s always a candidate to have a big night because he’s Kevin Durant and he can get his buckets at will. Offense won’t be a problem for the Warriors in this game. And Durant will do a bit of everything, leading to an overall strong outing. His ceiling is limited on most nights because Steph better. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Khris Middleton (vs ATL – $6,900): Needs 31.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 34.5 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Middleton is a reliable option if nothing else, especially against the Hawks. If Giannis plays, he’s more reliable but the ceiling is slightly lower. If Giannis doesn’t play, the ceiling is higher. But either way he’s going to get his numbers against the Hawks, a team everyone gets numbers against. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Josh Jackson (at HOU – $6,700): Needs 30.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 60.25 fantasy points against New Orleans. With Devin Booker out of the lineup, Jackson is a guy who can tap up and a guy who has typically stepped up in this spot. The Rockets are playing great and are a great team, but their defense has no reason to care against this matchup as the offense will be there in droves. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
