Top Four SFs

  1. Paul George (Pacers) – $8,600 @ Bucks (28th)
  2. Kevin Durant (Thunder) – $10,200 @ Clippers (7th)
  3. Trevor Ariza (Rockets) – $6,100 vs. Pelicans (16th)
  4. Jeff Green (Clippers) – $5,000 vs. Thunder (10th)

Rationale:

  • George is scoring 46.9 FPPG in two meetings with Milwaukee this season. He’s averaging two more assists per game against the Bucks than his season average. He needs to have a strong rebounding and shooting performance to have maximum fantasy value. He is projected to score 40.7 fantasy points.
  • Durant is scored 53.3 fantasy points while shooting 41.7 percent against the Clippers in their first meeting. He’s scoring 63.3 FPPG over his last three games. The Clippers are 25th in rebounding percentage, an area where Durant can really add to his fantasy value. He’s projected to score 48.4 fantasy points.
  • Ariza is scoring 33.4 FPPG in three games against the Pelicans this season. In five games since the All-Star break, Ariza is scoring 39.1 FPPG. He’s had two or more steals in each of those games, and has been good on the boards and passing. He’s projected to score 27 fantasy points.
  • Green is scoring 24.8 FPPG in three games against the Thunder this season. He’s shooting 34.3 percent from the field against the Thunder, however on a new team it is tough to predict how he’ll play against OKC with a different team. He’s projected to score 23.6 fantasy points.
