High Salary SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo – Milwaukee Bucks ($9400): While it looks like Giannis will play tonight, we can’t be sure. Portland is a door mat, so perhaps they will rest him and his slight ankle sprain. But I want him in many lineups if he’s a go tonight. He’s already dropped a 61.5 FP game on Portland this season and it’s not as if they are better defensively now. Here’s hoping Giannis plays tonight.

Kawhi Leonard – San Antonio Spurs ($9800): Kawhi has averaged 55 FP per game against the Timberwolves this season, and although the salary is high he’s definitely under consideration for lineups tonight. He’s posted two subpar efforts in a row, at least in terms of fantasy points, and I’m willing to bet that Leonard goes big tonight against a team he’s dominated all season.

Jimmy Butler – Chicago Bulls ($8900): Butler has posted consecutive games of 47 FP or more, and tonight gets a marquee matchup against DeMar DeRozan. Jimmy threw down an epic performance against the Raptors earlier this season that was good for just shy of 70 FP. With Dwyane Wade out, Jimmy will probably take close to 20 shots tonight and I’m hoping for one of those 50+ FP games from the Bulls’ all-star tonight.

Tobias Harris – Detroit Pistons ($6000): Harris will be the starter at power forward for the rest of the season and tonight he gets an excellent matchup against the Nets. Harris had 33.5 against them earlier in the season and I suspect this game will go over the Vegas total of 214. Look for Tobias to be close to 40 tonight against the lowly Nets.
