High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Kawhi Leonard (vs ORL – $8,300): Needs 38.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 54 fantasy points against Orlando. We know what Kawhi is capable of an in an elimination game, I’m going to assume that he’ll keep it going in this one. The Magic doesn’t have an answer for him and we know he’s the best player on the court. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs BKN – $6,800): Needs 31.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 47 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Harris continues to have his shooting touch going and with the Sixers being back at home, that should be a good sign for his value. Embiid does take away some opportunities but he’s not going to take away his overall outside shooting. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Al-Farouq Aminu (vs OKC – $4,700): Needs 21.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36.25 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. I’ve loved Aminu all series and he’s shown no reason for why I shouldn’t love him. He’s killed the Thunder all season and with the Thunder on their last legs and the Blazers riding high, you can keep taking him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Danny Green (vs ORL – $4,300): Needs 19.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 18.5 fantasy points against Orlando. Green is a reliable option at a low enough salary to where he isn’t going to hurt you. You can also go with Mo Harkless in this position because, once again, I love the Blazers on Tuesday. But I also expect Green to step up in this spot given the circumstances. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
