High Salary SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaukee Bucks (8,700): SF is stacked tonight with a lot of great options at the top. It’s impossible to ignore “The Alphabet,” though, given his recent run of production. Antetokounmpo has been playing out of his mind lately with at least 60 fantasy points in three of his last four games and four of his last seven.  He posted 73.5 fantasy points against the Thunder last night on 26 points, 12 rebounds, ten assists, four blocks, and three steals.  He fell just one rebound short of a triple-double on Friday, and he did get one last Monday against Houston when he had 18 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists, four steals, and 68.5 fantasy points. He has been red hot lately and is in a good matchup against the Bulls tonight.  He has averaged 23.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 steals, and a block in his two games against Chicago this season, and he’s a great play again tonight even though he’s sure to be a very popular option.

Kawhi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs (8,200): Another SF option on the rise is Kawhi Leonard of the Spurs who has been outstanding after taking off a few games after the All Star break due to a calf injury.  Kawhi has at least 45 fantasy points in four of his last five games and has averaged 27.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.8 steals over those five games.  He had 24 points, six boards, five assists and three steals in his previous meeting this season with the Pacers and Paul George, and It think he’s lined up for another solid multi-faceted line tonight. 

Chandler Parsons-Dallas Mavericks (6,800): Parsons played 39 minutes in the Mavs’ OT loss last night posting an underwhelming 11 points to go with 11 boards and five assists for 33.25 fantasy points. He has at least that many in four of his last five games, but has shown plenty of upside with at least 40 fantasy points in five of his last ten.  He will look to bounce back tonight against the Clippers who he has yet to face this year.
