High Salary SF

LeBron James, CLE vs WAS ($11,700): James has missed value in his last two and the wheels are coming off in Cleveland. Actually, he’s getting help. And it works to your benefit as his salary has dropped to where he needs just 49 fantasy points to hit value. He loves playing the Wizards almost as much as he loves playing Toronto. He’s averaging 67.4 fantasy points in three games against Washington this season. That number is a bit inflated due to a 92.7 fantasy point game back in November. But he’s been over 50 fantasy points in all three contests. *****

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs BKN ($11,500): Antetokounmpo has been over value in four of his last five and is coming off a 55.2 fantasy point effort against the Celtics on Tuesday. The Nets are 28th against power forwards in their last 15 games. Assuming the Bucks don’t blowout the Nets, the All-Star forward will push 50 fantasy points in this one, putting up big numbers in all categories. *****

Kevin Durant, GS at IND ($11,000): The Pacers are first against the position in their last 15 games, but that doesn’t matter much against Durant. He’s the top option in Golden State with Steph Curry out and has delivered in his three real games back from injury. He’s coming off a 55 fantasy point effort against the Thunder on Tuesday and needs 46.1 fantasy points to reach value on Thursday. Like the small forwards above him, Durant is good for big numbers in all categories and should be over 50 fantasy points. *****
