High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at BOS – $11,500): Needs 47.9 fantasy points. Giannis has been under value in the last two games because of blowouts and an injury. He’s healthy to play against the Celtics, which should be a competitive game. Giannis is one of the most reliable high salary players out there and I expect nothing different from him on Thursday. Diagnosis: Always reliable, high ceiling, should get big minutes in a close game.

Paul George (at CHA – $9,300): Needs 38.7 fantasy points. George had his best game of the season against the Clippers, finishing with 54.4 fantasy points. His shot is falling, which is a good thing for DFS fans. He’s also posting some of his best rebounding numbers, which helps his overall value. He’s a great second option next to Westbrook. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Nemanja Bjelica (at ATL – $7,200): Needs 30 fantasy points. Bjelica’s salary climbs into high salary territory. And it’s well-deserved. He’s playing great, having gone over 30 fantasy points in his last four games. He’s doing a bit of everything and he’s up against the Hawks. Overall, there’s a lot to like on Thursday, even at the higher salary. Diagnosis: No reason to doubt him, especially against this matchup.
