High Salary SG

Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaueke Bucks (7,400): I admit I’ve been skeptical about “The Alphabet” on his latest run of production, but he’s quickly becoming a must-play option at 7,400.  He did play a massive 50 minutes last night agains the Hawks, so fatigue is a concern, but his numbers have been amazing lately.  He had 28 points last night to go with 16 rebounds, three blocks, and a steal on his way to 52.2 fantasy points. He has at least 40 fantasy points in each of his last three games and has 39 fantasy points or more in four of his last six.  He always can fill up the entire stat sheet, and as long as he isn’t too out-of-gas after last night, he should be set up for a good game against Charlotte who allows the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing SG on FanDuel. ∗∗

Louis Williams-Los Angeles Lakers (6,000): Williams has been scorching hot lately with 34 fantasy points or more in six of his last eight contests.  He did come back to earth a big against the Warriors but still managed 21 points, four rebounds, and three assists.  Williams has been the Lakers’ best offensive option lately and has mixed in some solid non-scoring numbers to boost his fantasy value even further.  When he and LA faced tonight’s opponent, Utah, earlier this week, Williams had 18 points, eight rebounds, and six assists for a solid 34.6 fantasy points. Williams has the potential to explode any time he takes the floor and is getting plenty of shots and chances to create.  Look for him to be good option tonight regardless of Kobe’s status, but if Kobe is out he’ll have an even clearer path to all the shots he wants.  With Kobe-∗∗∗ Without Kobe-∗∗∗∗
