Top Four SFs

  1. Paul George (Pacers) – $8,100 @ Wizards (24th)
  2. Carmelo Anthony (Knicks) – $8,300 vs. Pistons (6th)
  3. LeBron James (Cavaliers) – $9,800 vs. Celtics (25th)
  4. Tobias Harris (Pistons) – $6,200 @ Knicks (9th)

Rationale:

  • George is scoring 52.6 FPPG in two games against the Wizards this season. Scoring has been the key to fantasy success against the Wizards this season, shooting over 50 percent from the field and three-point range. George will need to be the Pacers’ heartbeat and be the leading scorer in a game with playoff implications. He’s projected to score 39.3 fantasy points.
  • Anthony is scoring 44.6 FPPG in two games against the Pistons this season. Despite shooting under 40 percent from the field and three-point range, Anthony is still scoring at his normal rate. His assist numbers are where the added value is, averaging 7.0 per game in the season series. He’s projected to score 42.3 fantasy points.
  • James is scoring 44.0 FPPG in two meetings with the Celtics this season. His assist numbers are down from his season average of 6.6 to 3.5 in the season series. Scoring and rebounding will be the biggest factors in fantasy success, but the assist column is where a huge bonus could be added. He’s projected to score 46.3 fantasy points.
  • Harris is scoring 34.4 FPPG in two games against the Knicks this season. He’s shooting 55.0 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from three-point range in the season series. He’s scored in double figures in every game with the Pistons this season, and his highest shooting nights have yielded his best fantasy nights. He’s projected to score 28.6 fantasy points.
