High Salary SF
Players costing over $6,250
Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs ORL – $11,700): Needs 53.8 fantasy points. At this point, the only thing that can stop Giannis is the scoreboard. As long as games are competitive, he’s going to put up huge numbers. But Giannis and the Bucks are steamrolling teams right now. The Magic are scrappy and hopefully they are able to keep Giannis on the floor long enough for him to put up big fantasy points. Diagnosis: The only worry is a blowout.
Kyle Kuzma (at SA – $6,900): Needs 31. 8 fantasy points. Brandon Ingram will be back in the lineup after this game, so this might be the last time Kuzma is a featured part of the offense for the time being. He had 52.5 fantasy points against the Spurs on Oct. 22. They need his shooting and he’s a smart player who finds ways to get open. Diagnosis: He’s burning San Antonio once and with Ingram coming back, he might push a little harder to prove himself.
Jayson Tatum (at DET – $6,700): Needs 30.8 fantasy points. Tatum has been the most reliable option on the Celtics this season. He had 34.5 fantasy points against the Thunder on Oct. 25. He’s scoring in all areas and chipping in with rebounds. Diagnosis: The Celtics have issues, but Tatum is not one of them. He’s the most reliable option on the team and the Pistons defense is still a bit suspect.
