High Salary SF

LeBron James, CLE at DEN ($12,500): James missed value against the Pistons on Monday, but it wasn’t totally his fault. He played only 29 minutes in the blowout and still contributed 49.9 fantasy points. He had 62.5 fantasy points against the Nuggets on Saturday. Denver is on a back-to-back and didn’t look so great against the Mavericks. You know what you’re getting from James. He’ll hit a minimum of 50 fantasy points and there’s always a chance he has 65-plus fantasy points. Expect him over 60 fantasy points on Wednesday. *****

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs HOU ($11,500): The Rockets look unstoppable and the Bucks are sputtering, but Antetokounmpo is doing his part. He’s been over value in three straight. The Rockets are on a back-to-back, although nothing appears to be slowing them down right now. Still, a team on a back-to-back will make more mistake defensively, which should open things up for the Milwaukee forward. He’ll be over 50 fantasy points and could push 60 fantasy points. ****

Joe Ingles, UTA at IND ($6,400): Ingles is under the average salary, but there’s a big drop off from the top two small forwards all the way down to Ingles. He’s coming off a fantastic game against the Magic, contributing 48.4 fantasy points in that contest. Prior to that, he had missed value in three straight. He was a huge bust in the Jan. 15 meeting against the Pacers, posting 2.5 fantasy points in that one. He’s played too well as of late to think that will happen again on Wednesday. Expect him around value. ***
