High Salary SF

Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL at NY ($11,600): The Knicks are 28th against the position in their last 15 games and on a back-to-back. Antetokounmpo has been over 50 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He’s been great against the Knicks this season, averaging 56 fantasy points in three games against them. He needs 49.6 fantasy points to hit value on Saturday. Expect him over 50 fantasy points once again in this one. *****

Kevin Durant, GS vs NO ($11,200): Durant was over 50 fantasy points for a third straight game when the Warriors faced the Pacers on Thursday. He needs 47.9 fantasy points to reach value on Saturday. The Pelicans are 25th against the position in their last 15 games and on a back-to-back. Durant has been fantastic with Steph Curry out of the lineup all season and there is no reason to think he won’t be fantastic once again on Saturday. The Warriors have nothing to play for, but they do want to figure things out without Curry heading into the playoffs. *****

Paul George, OKC at HOU ($7,800): The Rockets are second against the position in their last 15 games. George missed value on Thursday against the Warriors, finishing with 29.6 fantasy points in that one. He’s averaging 35.7 fantasy points in two games against the Rockets this season. He’s still struggling with his shot, but can make up that value with his rebounding and defense. He’ll be around value on Saturday and if he finds his shooting stroke, could breakout. ***
