Top Four SFs

  1. Paul George (Pacers) – $8,900 vs. Nuggets (25th)
  2. Rudy Gay (Kings) – $6,800 @ Grizzlies (15th)
  3. Trevor Ariza (Rockets) – $5,500 (20th)
  4. Joe Johnson (Nets) – $4,900 @ Pelicans (16th)

Rationale:

  • George only scored 35.8 fantasy points in the first game against the Nuggets. His ability to score in a high-scoring game makes him the top play.
  • Gay scored 31.3 fantasy points previously against the Grizzlies. He may be the best chance for the Kings to score, despite Cousins being on a hot streak.
  • Ariza is scoring 36.7 FPPG in his last five games. He’s playing very well and has had success scoring, which will be key with a high-scoring game.
  • Despite Johnson’s struggles this season, he’s a high-risk, high-reward play with a weaker small forward position. Perhaps going cheaper would provide more.
