High Salary SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL at NY ($11,500): Antetokounmpo missed value against the Nets on Sunday. Part of that had to do with an ankle injury that kept him out for nearly eight minutes at the end of the game. He had 32.6 fantasy points in 28 minutes against Brooklyn. It sounds like he’s healthy enough to play on Tuesday, which is bad news for the Knicks. He had 58.2 fantasy points against New York last week. He should find similar success on Sunday, posting big scoring and rebounding numbers to go along with a handful of assists and defensive plays. ****

Kevin Durant, GS vs OKC ($10,700): After missing value in three straight, Durant bounced back and posted 53.7 fantasy points against the Nuggets. He should find similar success on Tuesday against his former team, especially without Andre Roberson in his face. He needs 45.1 fantasy points to reach value in this one. He should be around 50 fantasy points and I would not be shocked if this one turns ugly with the way the Thunder have played as of late. The Warriors are rested and ready to rebound after dropped two of their last three. *****

Brandon Ingram, LAL vs PHO ($6,900): Ingram has been over value in five of his last six. The Suns are 18th against the position in their last 15 games and boast the worst defense in the league. No one on the Lakers posts a higher usage rate than Ingram. He gets plenty of chances to impact the game with his scoring and passing. He’ll impact the game in a big way on Tuesday given the matchup. Expect Ingram to to be over 35 fantasy points in this contest. ****
