High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Paul George (vs HOU – $9,900): Needs 45.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 52.75 fantasy points against Minnesota. The Thunder still have reason to play hard and George, even with his shooting woes, still gets his numbers in all categories. I don’t know how the Rockets are feeling coming into this game but George has been very good against them this season, averaging 60.5 fantasy points in three games. Granted all three of those games were before the All-Star break when George forgot how to shoot. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Joe Ingles (vs DEN – $7,000): Needs 32.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 31 fantasy points against LA Lakers. Ingles was slightly down against the Lakers but I’m not concerned about him going into this matchup. The Jazz still need his offense and he’s a guy who can contribute in multiple ways. He had 42.5 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Feb. 28. He should get you value if nothing else in this game. But expect more. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Josh Jackson (at DAL – $6,700): Needs 30.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.25 fantasy points against Houston. Jackson will continue to get the minutes and opportunities with Booker out of the lineup. Jackson has proven to have a high ceiling and this is a matchup that I absolutely love for the offense from both teams. Jackson will produce once again in this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
