High Salary SF

LeBron James, CLE vs TOR ($12,500): James was a rare value miss on Sunday, finishing with 47.6 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Sunday. He needs 52.9 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday and had 71.9 fantasy points against the Raptors on Mar. 21. We’re near the playoffs and the only thing guaranteed around this time of year are taxes and LeBron James toying with the Raptors. At home and looking to make a statement against the best team in the East just two weeks before the playoffs? LeBron seems like a pretty safe bet. *****

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs BOS ($11,200): Assuming Antetokounmpo doesn’t foul out on Tuesday, he should have a bounce back performance following his 40.4 fantasy point effort against the Nuggets on Sunday. He needs 47.4 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. The Celtics are a tough matchup on paper, but the Bucks All-Star is averaging 57.8 fantasy points in three games against Boston this season. Milwaukee needs a statement game heading into the playoffs and this represents a good opportunity to show that they are for real. *****

Josh Jackson, PHO vs SAC ($7,300): Jackson hit value once again on Sunday, finishing with 39.9 fantasy points against the Warriors. He’s been over value in every game since Mar. 13. His salary has actually dropped to where he needs 30.9 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. Assuming T.J. Warren and Devin Booker are out once again, Jackson will be the guy to carry the offensive load. Given his performance over the last month, there is little reason to think he won’t push 40 fantasy points with this matchup. ****
