High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at CHA – $12,700): Needs 52.3 fantasy points. Giannis has been over 70 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He had 53.6 fantasy points against the Hornets on Oct. 17. You know what you’re getting from Giannis. He’s going to give you a minimum of 50 fantasy points and the ceiling is always higher. I do worry about a blowout, which could limit his ceiling. Diagnosis: It’s Giannis and the matchup is good. He’ll get his numbers.

Kevin Durant (vs ORL – $11,500): Needs 47.4 fantasy points. Durant has been over 60 fantasy points in his last two games and over 50 fantasy points in his last four games. Without Curry, he’s the top option and will continue to put up big numbers. The matchup is good as the Magic are on a back-to-back. If Draymond returns to the lineup, that will cut into Durant’s value a bit. Diagnosis: Could give you just as much as Giannis at a low price.

Jabari Parker (vs SA – $7,500): Needs 30.9 fantasy points. Parker has been very good in his last three, going over 39 fantasy points in three straight. He was at 47.4 fantasy points against the Timberwolves on Nov. 24. His salary is way up, but the Spurs are a good matchup. I still don’t fully trust in Parker and the salary might be a bit too high, but there’s no denying how well he’s playing right now. Diagnosis: On a hot streak and the matchup is strong.
