High Salary SF

LeBron James, CLE vs PHI ($12,000): James has been over 50 fantasy points in all but one game since Nov. 20. That includes 52.8 fantasy points on Nov. 27 against the Sixers. Without Joel Embiid in the lineup, James should have an easier path to the basket. You never have to worry about LeBron and his numbers. Points are never an issue and he’ll post strong numbers in either the rebound or assist categories, sometimes both. ****

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs UTA ($12,000): Antetokounmpo had 47.1 fantasy points on Nov. 25 against the Jazz. 46 fantasy points has been his floor since November. He’s hit value 73 percent of the time this season and has never posted a dud rating. Like James, Antetokunmpo gets his numbers without much of an issue. He scores, rebounds, and chips in with a defensive play or two. The Jazz rank ninth against the position, but no one has a real answer for the Bucks small forward. ****

Brandon Ingram, LAL at CHA ($7,300): Ingram has posted big numbers as of late, hitting 38+ fantasy points in three of his last five games. He puts up numbers in every category, but does most of his damage through scoring. The Hornets are 29th against the position in their last 15 and on a back-to-back, having just lost to the lowly Bulls. *****
