High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at POR – $12,800): Needs 52.7 fantasy points. Giannis is the best high salary option on Tuesday. As long as the game is competitive, and I fully expect the game to be competitive because the Trail Blazers are a good team, Giannis will get his fantasy points. He’s reliable at just about any salary and can get you at least 60 fantasy points on most nights. He’ll deliver. Diagnosis: It’s Giannis. You can build around him with confidence.

Nicolas Batum (vs ATL – $6,700): Needs 27.6 fantasy points. Batum has been solid in the last three games, going over 29 fantasy points in each contest. Even when he’s not scoring, he’s doing things in other areas. He’s a low-key triple-double threat on any given night. The matchup is a good one as well. Diagnosis: Playing well and has a very good matchup.

Harrison Barnes (vs WAS – $6,000): Needs 24.7 fantasy points. Injuries put Barnes in this spot and he could be a big factor if Doncic doesn’t end up playing. Barnes had been decent since returning but was down to 16.2 fantasy points against the Knicks. I expect him to bounce back against the Wizards, especially if Doncic doesn’t play. Diagnosis: Circumstances could mean a big night for Barnes, who is typically reliable if nothing else.
