High Salary SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo-Milwaukee Bucks (9,400): The Greek Freak was back to his triple-doubling ways on Friday with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists for 53.7 fantasy points against the Magic.  He had been under 40 fantasy points in his three previous games, but looked strong on Friday as he continues to man the point for the injury-depleted Bucks.  Antetokounmpo will get an interesting matchup tonight against the Bulls who could try and slow him down by putting Jimmy Butler on him as a lockdown defender.  The only downside of that for the Bulls is that they need Butler to carry their offense as well.  Antetokounmpo has had success against the Bulls this season averaging 19.7 points, 5.7 assists, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.7 steals in his three games against them this season.  He’ll look to keep that roll going tonight at the Bradley Center as the Bucks look to play spoilers to the Bulls playoff hopes. ∗∗∗

Gordon Hayward-Utah Jazz (6,900): Hayward had 34.5 fantasy points on 22 points, five boards, three assists, and two steals against the T-Wolves on Friday giving him at least 28 fantasy points in each of his last four games.  He missed the Jazz last matchup against Phoenix with a foot issue, but he has been playing well since his return. Phoenix has given up the fourth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SF this season, so Hayward should be able to take it to them with success tonight.∗∗∗∗

Evan Turner-Boston Celtics (6,100): Turner’s value is a little tricky to figure out tonight since his role could be slightly shifted now that Jae Crowder is ready to return for Boston.  Turner has shown he can be productive with Crowder available when he comes off the bench or when he steps into the starting lineup in place of Crowder or another injured Celtic.  Turner totaled 35.5 fantasy points in Boston’s upset win on Friday scoring 21 points to go with five assists, five rebounds, and three steals against the Warriors.  He has at least 31 fantasy points in four of his last five, but Crowder’s return to action tonight does cast a little bit of doubt onto his value even against the lowly Lakers. ∗∗∗
