Top Four SFs

  1. Rudy Gay (Kings) – $6,800 @ Lakers
  2. Gordon Hayward (Jazz) – $7,500 @ Knicks
  3. Marcus Morris (Pistons) – $5,700 @ Rockets
  4. Harrison Barnes (Warriors) – $5,200 @ Bulls

Rationale:

  • Gay is averaging 35.9 FPPG in two meetings with the Lakers this season. He plays 5.6 FPPG better on the road than at home. He’s averaging 35.6 FPPG over his last six games. The Lakers are 27th against small forwards.
  • Hayward scored 39.5 fantasy points in his first meeting with the Knicks. He’s averaging 41.7 FPPG in his last six games. He is a scorer for the Jazz and will have a good matchup against Carmelo Anthony, who’s also a scorer. The Knicks are fourth against small forwards.
  • Morris only scored 24.5 fantasy points against the Rockets earlier this season. He should play better on the road in a high-scoring game. It’s also against the worst team against small forwards.
  • Barnes scored 35.8 fantasy points against the Bulls in their first meeting. He had nine rebounds in that game, adding to his fantasy value. He should have a strong offensive game against the second-worst team against small forwards.
