High Salary SF

LeBron James, CLE vs MIL ($11,700): James has been over 70 fantasy points in three straight contests, collecting a triple-double in two of those games. He needs 52.1 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. He’s a guaranteed double-double at this point and always a triple-double threat. Less than 50 fantasy points is a disappointing night for James and is on the low end of what you can expect from him. Both teams should put up big offensive numbers and we all know the majority of Cleveland’s offense comes through The King. *****

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL at CLE ($10,800): Antetokounmpo followed up his 68 fantasy point game against the Magic with 72 fantasy points against the Hawks. He needs 48.1 fantasy points to reach value on Monday and is averaging 60.4 fantasy points in three games against the Cavaliers this season. Like James, you know he’s going to get you at least 50 fantasy points and his ceiling is just as high as James, on $900 less. Less of the offensive runs through him, but he gets fantasy points just the same. *****

Ben Simmons, PHI vs CHA ($8,500): Simmons had 55.5 fantasy points against the Nets on Friday and has been over value in three straight. He needs 38.3 fantasy points to reach value on Monday and is averaging 41.3 fantasy points in two games against the Hornets this season. Without Nicolas Batum, the Hornets will have a rougher time than usual as he’s been their leader on both ends of the court in the last month. Simmons should be over 40 fantasy points. ****
