High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs CHA – $11,500): Needs 48.1 fantasy points. It’s Giannis. Even in a blowout, he is going to be a reliable player. And if the Hornets can keep it competitive, that’s even better news for Giannis. He’s averaging 56.9 fantasy points in two games against the Hornets this season. You never have to worry about Giannis. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kawhi Leonard (at HOU – $10,300): Needs 43.1 fantasy points. It looks like Kawhi will play in this one. I won’t believe it until I see it but it certainly looks like it’ll happen. And he walks back into a good matchup. Kawhi has been reliable all season when he has played and the Rockets are not a good team, they’re just being carried by one player. Kawhi will have fun in his return. Diagnosis: Love him in this game. If he actually plays.

Tobias Harris (at CHI – $7,900): Needs 33 fantasy points. Harris bounced back with 48.4 fantasy points against the Heat after a rough outing against the Mavericks. With Gallinari out, Harris’ ceiling remains high due to the offensive opportunities he will continue to have. And he gets to play the Bulls. This should be an easy night at the office for Harris on Friday. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
