High Salary SF

Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder (10,800): Durant has been struggling at the end of games, to be sure, but his overall numbers have been excellent lately with at least 52 fantasy points in five straight games each of which has been a double-double. He fell just one assist short of a triple-double against the Warriors on Saturday, but his nine turnovers did hurt his fantasy points limiting him to just 54.5. He should be set up to continue his success tonight against the Bucks who allow the seventh-most fantasy points in the NBA to SF. Durant had 26 points, eight assists, six rebounds, a steal, and a block when the teams met for the first time, and he should be ready for a big game tonight as he tries to get his team turned back around and headed in the right direction after a rough start to the second half. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaukee Bucks (8,700): Watching Durant and Antetokounmpo go against each other in this game should be lots of fun since “The Alphabet” has been taking his game to new levels lately.  He has at least 60 fantasy points in three of his last six games and fell just one rebound short of another triple-double in his last game against the Timberwolves. He had still had 27 points, 12 assists, three steals, two blocks, and nine rebounds to get to 61.8 fantasy points. He has been dominant lately, but he will have a tough matchup tonight which makes him not quite as much of a lock since his monster games have come against some of the weaker defensive teams in the league (Rockets, T-Wolves, and Lakers). 

Chandler Parsons-Dallas Mavericks (6,900): Parsons lit up the Kings on Thursday for 28 points, nine boards, and five assists for a total of 43.3 fantasy points. He has at least 39 fantasy points in five of his last nine games including three of his last four.  He posted exactly 39 fantasy points against the Nuggets two weeks ago on 27 points, six rebounds, and four assists, and with Danilo Gallinari out he should be able to have another good game tonight.  He’s a very nice option if you don’t have the salary to go with KD or Antetokounmpo tonight.
