High Salary SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL at DET ($11,000): Antetokounmpo had a nice 69.6 fantasy point effort against the Wizards on Tuesday. He’s averaging 48.4 fantasy points in three games against the Pistons this season. That number would put him right at value on Wednesday. Both teams are desperate for victories and Antetokounmpo is the best player on either side. He’s been good in back-to-back situations this season, hitting value in nine of 11 tries. He should push 50 fantasy points at the very least. ****

Kevin Durant, GS at WAS ($9,800): The last time Durant was in Washington, Zaza Pachulia did that clumsy thing of his and nearly ruined the Warriors season. Assuming Zaza doesn’t trip over himself, Durant should play more than two minutes and have a strong game. He had 58.2 fantasy points against the Wizards on Oct. 27. That game was too early to mean a whole lot, and the Wizards are certainly much better since then. That said, they are on a back-to-back and Durant has historically done well against them. Expect the Warriors forward to be around 45 fantasy points. ****

T.J. Warren, PHO at MEM ($7,100): The All-Star break did Warren a lot of good. He’s been over 35 fantasy points in all three games since the break, looking more like himself. He needs 31 fantasy points to reach value on Wednesday. He’s been over 35 fantasy points in two of three games against the Grizzlies this season. Memphis is 18th against the position in their last 15 games. Expect another strong game from the Phoenix forward in this contest. ****
