High Salary SF
Ben Simmons, PHI at ATL ($10,700): The last time these two teams met, Simmons had 54 fantasy points in 27 minutes a night after playing video games with Karl-Anthony Towns all night. The Hawks may come out with some pride and an effort to shutdown Simmons, but even with a more focused attitude, they aren’t good enough to hinder Simmons. He may not play enough minutes to reach 50 fantasy points, but he’ll post big minutes for as long as he plays. ****
Taurean Prince, ATL vs PHI ($7,300): After getting benched in the second half against Miami, Prince has answered the call. He posted 39 fantasy points against the Wizards and followed that up with 55.5 fantasy points against the Celtics on Sunday. He’s averaging 34.8 fantasy points in 32 minutes in two games against the Sixers this season. It’s a tough matchup, but Prince looks like he’s returned to form and he’ll provide his usual scoring and rebounding numbers. ***
Robert Covington, PHI at ATL ($7,200): Covington posted 42.5 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Sunday. He’s been fantastic during this stretch with Joel Embiid out of the lineup. That should be the case once again on Tuesday. He’ll get his usual minutes as the Sixers have incentive to play their starters for as long as it takes them to build a 15-plus point lead. Covington may not play big minutes, but he’ll get around 35 fantasy points with a chance at a big game if this is somehow competitive. ****
