High Salary SF

Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (9,900): Durant has at least 41 fantasy points in each of his last eight games after posting 49.5 fantasy points on Sunday against Miami with 24 points, ten rebounds, three steals, and three assists. It was his fourth double-double in his last eight games, and he continues to be one of the lowest-risk options on the board. He should be set up for a big game in Denver too since he has averaged 25.5 points, 7.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks against the Nuggets in his two games against them this season. He’s obviously pricey and maybe slight less explosive than his teammate (for fantasy points that is), but he’s a solid play if you can fit him under your salary cap. ∗∗∗

Danilo Gallinari-Denver Nuggets (7,100): Gallinari bounced back from a down games on Friday with a solid 23 points in 23 foul-trouble-plagued minutes against the Pacers. Gallinari has at least 30 fantasy points in seven of his last eight games since returning from an ankle injury, and he should be good for 20 points and 35+ fantasy points tonight against the Thunder in Denver. ∗∗∗∗∗

Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaukee Bucks (7,000): Although it has been a disappointing season so far overall for the Bucks, “The Alphabet” is starting to turn things around and could be leading a surge that will make teams “Fear the Deer” in the second half of the season. Antetokounmpo has posted double-digit rebounds in five straight games and has four straight double-doubles resulting in at least 38 fantasy points in each of his last four games including a pair of games with over 54 fantasy points. He also contributes solid defensive numbers and assists, so he’s a stat-stuffing threat every time he takes the floor. Tonight, he will face the Heat who will likely have Dwyane Wade (probable) playing on two bum shoulders. Look for the Greek Freak to attack the Heat from the wings and put together another nice game tonight especially after a couple of much-needed days off. ∗∗∗∗
