High Salary SF

Devin Booker, PHO at MIL ($8,900): Booker has been 10+ fantasy points over value in three of his last four. The Milwaukee defense is a mess and isn’t any better with Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the lineup. Booker had 39.5 fantasy points against the Bucks on Nov. 22. That number would put him right at value on Monday. You know you’re going to get plenty of points from Booker and he helps his value with his rebounding and playmaking. I like him to be over 40 fantasy points on Monday. ****

Khris Middleton, MIL vs PHO ($8,700): Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, Middleton had 61 fantasy points against the Sixers. He was the guy who needed to step up without their star small forward and he delivered. Antetkounmpo has already been ruled out for Monday, which means Middleton will get a chance to shine once again. Given the opponent, he should have no issue putting up big offensive numbers. Maybe he won’t get a triple-double again, but he’ll do damage. *****

Josh Richardson, MIA at HOU ($6,300): Richardson has been over 30 fantasy points in four straight games. The Rockets are 28th against the position in their last 15 games. Miami is hurting at multiple positions right now, but Richardson has filled in all the gaps. He’s been great since December and shows no sign of slowing down. He should get his usual solid numbers in this one. ***
