High Salary SF
LeBron James, CLE at CHI ($12,700): James needs 53.9 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. You know what you’re getting from James right now. He’s going to collect big numbers in all major categories and at least give you 50 fantasy points. Even if he plays limited minutes, which for him is less than 40, he still gives you 50 fantasy points. He’s going to have another monster game on Saturday, likely pushing 60 fantasy points. *****
Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs ATL ($12,000): Antetokounmpo had 67.5 fantasy points against the Magic on Wednesday. The Bucks aren’t playing a whole lot of defense right now, but you can typically count on Antetokounmpo to put up big fantasy numbers. The Hawks are 30th against the position in their last 15 games. He needs 50.9 fantasy points to hit value. There’s always a chance the Bucks blowout the Hawks, but given their recent performance against Orlando, it looks less likely. ****
Taurean Prince, ATL at MIL ($7,300): Prince is currently listed as probable for Saturday’s contest. If he can’t go, Otto Porter Jr. is your only other option here and he’s a solid bet to hit value. Also look towards Dennis Schroder at point guard if Prince can’t play because someone has to score for the Hawks. But if Prince plays, he’s your guy. He’s been over 40 fantasy points in his last three games. Given the matchup and the way the Bucks have looked lately, another 40 fantasy point effort is in the cards for Prince. ****
