High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at BKN – $11,600): Needs 48.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 51 fantasy points against Washington. It’s Giannis. You never have to worry when you take Giannis. It doesn’t the matter the matchup and it doesn’t matter if there might be a blowout. Giannis delivers in any situation. And this is a good matchup and a game that shouldn’t be a blowout given that the Nets are a scrappy bunch. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Otto Porter Jr (vs ATL – $6,600): Needs 27.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 40.4 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Porter Jr is back in the starting lineup and it’s seem to give him new life. The bench was a nice idea in theory and it worked for a bit but he’s a starting caliber player. And now he gets a matchup against the Hawks. This should be another strong outing for him given the pace of this game. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Kelly Oubre Jr (vs HOU – $6,600): Needs 27.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 33.2 fantasy points against Atlanta. Oubre Jr has cooled off a tad since the trade but he’s still playing big minutes and providing reliable production. This feels like a big game for him because they’ll need his energy against the Rockets. And he can do a little bit of everything. I still don’t trust the Rockets defense and Oubre will make life tough on them on both sides of the floor. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
