High Salary PF

LeBron James, CLE at OKC ($11,500): James looked absolutely thrilled to be with his new teammates on Sunday, which is bad news for the rest of the NBA. He had 54.5 fantasy points in 28 minutes against the Celtics. He struggled against the Thunder on Jan. 20, posting just 33.25 fantasy points in that contest. With no Andre Roberson to hound him defensively, he should have a slightly easier night. Playing with capable teammates certainly helps his cause. He’ll provide another 50-plus fantasy points on Tuesday. *****

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs ATL ($10,700): Antetokounmpo had been over value in three straight, going over 50 fantasy points in two of those contests. He needs 46.3 fantasy points to reach value on Tuesday. Antetokounmpo rebounding numbers were down on Saturday against the Magic, but he remains the top threat in the Milwaukee offense. His rebounding numbers will be back up to around double-digits and he’ll continue to provide scoring and playmaking. *****

Harrison Barnes, DAL vs SAC ($6,500): Barnes struggled in the back-to-back against the Rockets on Sunday, providing just 19.25 fantasy points in that contest. There’s a chance he is still dealing with the ankle injury, but if he plays, he should contribute. He had 25.5 fantasy points against the Kings on Feb. 3. That number would put him under value on Tuesday. He’s a solid option who should be around value, but his big games seem to be in the rearview window for the time being. ***
