High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs SAC – $11,800): Needs 49.1 fantasy points. It’s Giannis. He’s going to give you at least 50 fantasy points unless the game gets out of hand (or an injury occurs. Please, no injuries). He puts up numbers in all categories and has looked better than ever this season under coach Bud. His assist numbers have been down, but I blame Middleton for that. Diagnosis: Good for at least 50 fantasy points, always has a high ceiling.

Robert Covington (at BKN – $7,300): Needs 30.4 fantasy points. Covington has picked up the slack in recent games, although he was a bit off on Saturday. Expect him to return to form on Sunday. Covington has mainly done it with his defense, which is always a concern. But he’s becoming one of the best defensive players in the league and as long as he can keep it up, he’s a value option. Diagnosis: Puts up solid numbers in all categories and crushes it on defense.

Nemanja Bjelica (at MIL – $7,200): Needs 30 fantasy points. Bjelica was finally helped under 30 fantasy points against the Hawks on Nov. 1. Playing time had a bit to do with it. His playing time will be back up as the Bucks are a much tougher matchup than the Hawks. Bjelica has been great this season and obviously the MVP of the league with how he’s turned around the Kings. Diagnosis: Love him at this salary. Has a high ceiling and does a bit of everything.
