High Salary SF

Carmelo Anthony-New York Knicks (8,500): The last time the Knicks played the Wizards (1/19) Melo exploded for 34-10-2 and 50 fantasy points. He has at least 33 fantasy points in each of his last six games since then and is coming off a massive 57.2 fantasy points on Sunday with all the extra playing time against Atlanta. Anthony has been embroiled in controversy throughout January, but his on-the-court play has been outstanding as he has averaged 25.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in his 16 games so far this month.∗∗∗∗

Danilo Gallinari-Denver Nuggets (7,000): Gallinari has a good matchup tonight against the Lakers who have given up the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing SF this season. Gallianri had a solid 14-5-6 for 30 fantasy points against them two weeks ago, but he should be able to do even more tonight since without Nikola Jokic to carry the offense. With Jokic out on Saturday, Gallinari came through with 32-8-1 in 27 minutes against the Suns for 42.1 fantasy points. He has over 35 fantasy points in back-to-back games now and should be able to get at least that many tonight making him a good play in the late game in LA.∗∗∗∗

Otto Porter-Washington Wizards (6,600): As the Wizards take on Carmelo and the Knicks, Otto Porter will be looking to post over 30 fantasy points for the fifth time in his last eight games. One of those solid games did come against New York when he had 23-5-2 for 34 fantasy points two weeks ago. Porter is still a little inconsistent (see his 10.8 fantasy points against Boston last Tuesday), but he definitely has the upside to be worth a look if you can’t afford Gallo or Anthony tonight.∗∗
