High Salary SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaukee Bucks (9,400): Antetokounmpo looks to continue his breakout month as the Bucks host the Grizzlies tonight.  It’s hard to argue with such a high salary for “The Alphabet” given his recent production with at least 50 fantasy points in five of his last nine games including four games over 65 fantasy points and a 77.75 fantasy point performance against the Nets on Sunday.  He is a multi-category statsheet-stuffer who should be able to dominate the depleted and exhausted Grizzlies tonight.  The Greek Freak is the second-most expensive play on the board tonight for a good reason, and he could definitely go off with another triple-double with how hot he has been recently.∗∗∗

Kawhi Leonard-San Antonio Spurs (8,300): While I don’t love that his price is almost 8.5K now, I do think Kawhi still makes a good play against the Blazers at home tonight.  Leonard had 20 points on Tuesday against the Clippers giving him at least that many in nine of his last ten games, and he added solid non-scoring stats to get to 36.75 fantasy points. He has at least 35 fantasy points in nine of his last ten, so he’s a low-risk play, and he has also delivered at least 45 fantasy points in six of his last ten matchups so you have a good shot at value.  He hasn’t had the 60-70 fantasy points upside that Antetokounmpo has had lately, but he is a decent play even though he price is pretty high. ∗∗
