High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at ORL – $11,500): Needs 48.6 fantasy points. It’s another Buck and it’s another Buck whose ceiling gets lowered because the Bucks are too good. But even though the Bucks are too good, Giannis is delivering. He had 52.7 fantasy points against the Grizzlies on Jan. 16. In 22 friggin’ minutes. That’s just nuts. Giannis is just nuts. Even in blowouts, he’s producing. He’s the real MVP. Diagnosis: Take him with all the confidence.

Kawhi Leonard (vs MEM – $10,500): Needs 44.3 fantasy points. Kawhi will be back in the lineup in this game and you know what you’re getting from him on most nights. He does a bit of everything but it’s his scoring that he’ll need in this one. And he’ll get his scoring as the Grizzlies have fallen off a bit defensively and are on a back-to-back. Plus, Kawhi is always good for defensive plays. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Justise Winslow (at CHI – $7,100): Needs 30 fantasy points. Winslow didn’t have the great game that he needed on Friday but don’t be too concerned. He’s still reliable option and now he gets the plays the Bulls. The Bulls are just awful. Winslow’s numbers will be back up in this one, especially if Richardson is once again out of the lineup. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.
