High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at TOR – $11,500): Needs 48.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 60.1 fantasy points against Detroit. Giannis and Kawhi have always delivered when they’ve gone head-to-head this season. And I expect nothing less in this game. Giannis has been a reliable option all season and we know he’s capable of the big game. Look for a statement game from him going into Toronto. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kawhi Leonard (vs MIL – $10,100): Needs 42.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 49.5 fantasy points against Dallas. Again, Giannis and Kawhi will both deliver. Kawhi is the cheaper option and his ceiling might not be quite as high because he has better players around him. But he’s just as reliable. You can always count on him in these big games. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs LAL – $8,100): Needs 34 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 43.5 fantasy points against Atlanta. Harris has been a reliable option for the Clippers all season and now he gets the Lakers. I continue to love his game with Gallinari out of the lineup because he’s the top scoring option in their frontcourt and doesn’t have to fight for quite as many rebounds. He’ll deliver in this matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
