High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at DET – $11,400): Needs 48.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 53.6 fantasy points against Oklahoma City. Giannis didn’t even have his best game against the Thunder and still delivered strong numbers. He’ll be much better in this game because the Pistons are an easier matchup and the Bucks always bounce back strong after a loss. Giannis will be angry and you’re not gonna like Giannis when he’s angry. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Paul George (at ORL – $11,100): Needs 46.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 60.1 fantasy points against Milwaukee. It’s Paul George. He’s playing at a high level this season, does a bit of everything, and is very reliable. But because this is a weird game, I could totally see George just having the roughest shooting night of the season. Seriously, don’t doubt the weirdness of OKC in Orlando. George should get his usual numbers and I’ll go against my gut. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Otto Porter Jr (at CLE – $7,000): Needs 29.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 27.2 fantasy points against San Antonio. Porter Jr has evened out a bit from his hot stretch since coming off the bench. But the minutes and opportunities are still there for him. And he gets to play the Cavaliers. This should be a big return to form for OPJ in this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
