High Salary SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL at CHI ($11,600): Antetokounmpo returned to the lineup on Friday and posted 78.1 fantasy points against the Nets. Maybe the coaching change provided some extra motivation? He’s averaging 50.3 fantasy points in two games against the Bulls this season. That number would put him just over value on Sunday and that’s where I like him on Sunday. ****

TJ Warren, PHO at HOU ($6,900): Warren has missed value in his last two games. The Suns are not a competitive basketball team right now and that’s hurting the value of all their top players. He’s averaging 26.9 fantasy points in two games against Houston this season. He needs 28.9 fantasy points to hit value. He can provide a big game, but I don’t like the way Phoenix is playing right now. **

LeBron James, CLE vs DET ($11,000): James had 38.4 fantasy points against the Pistons on Nov. 20. Detroit ranks 26th against the position in their last 15 games and are on a back-to-back. James looks back to form offensively, which is bad news for the rest of the league. He should be over 50 fantasy point sin this one as he takes advantage of a good matchup. *****

Paul George, OKC vs PHI ($8,200): The Sixers are first against the position in their last 15 games. George has been over value in four straight. He had 38.5 fantasy points against the Sixers on Dec. 15. He needs 34.3 fantasy points to reach value on Sunday. I think he’ll be around that number, but as mentioned, I’m expecting a letdown game for the Thunder on Sunday. ***
