High Salary SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL at MEM ($11,900): Antetokounmpo had 58.5 fantasy points against the Knicks on Friday. The Grizzlies rank 12th against small forwards in their last 15 games, but Antetokounmpo is more of a point power forward at the moment. Memphis is 30th against power forwards in their last 15 games. He had 58.3 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Nov. 13 and needs 51.6 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. He should have little trouble collecting 50 fantasy points in this one. Expect him to push 60 fantasy points as he puts up his typical numbers in all categories. ******

Paul George, OKC vs SAC ($8,800): George has hit value just once in his last four games. He had 49.4 fantasy points against the Kings on Feb. 22. It’s unlikely that he’ll be held to 11 points like he was on Saturday against the Spurs. But his shooting struggles from deep appear to be very real at this point. Still, he’s too good not to score against a weak Sacramento defense. Along with his scoring, he’ll contribute with rebounds and assists. Throw in a defensive play or two and he should get the 38.1 fantasy points he needs to hit value. If he can re-discover his shooting form from three, a big scoring night could be in store for the Thunder forward.
