Top Four SFs

  1. Kevin Durant (Thunder) – $9,800 @ Knicks
  2. Paul George (Pacers) – $8,900 vs. Clippers
  3. Chandler Parsons (Mavericks) – $6,300 @ Lakers
  4. Tobias Harris (Magic) – $6,400 @ Bucks

Rationale:

  • Durant didn’t play against the Knicks (seventh vs. small forwards) in their previous meeting. However, he will play against Carmelo Anthony (knee soreness), according to Ian Begley. That may make things easier on Durant who has two double-double and 60-plus fantasy point performances in his last four games.
  • George lit the Clippers (14th) up for 61.5 fantasy points in their prior meeting. He shot 39.1 percent from the field in that game, but did go 5-for-9 from three-point range.
  • Parsons is looking like himself in his last three games. He’s had two 30-point performances in his last three games and is scoring 45.1 FPPG in that span. He’s had a poor 13.3 showing against the Lakers (27th) in two games this season.
  • Harris scored 31.5 fantasy points against the Bucks (29th) in their previous meeting. He’s scoring 31.9 FPPG over his last five games. He may be a bit of a wild card coming off an overtime loss on Monday night.
