High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at CHI – $12,000): Needs 51.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.9 fantasy points against Dallas. Giannis is expected to be back in the lineup in this one and that’s bad news for the Bulls. Not that they had much of a chance even without Giannis in the lineup. A blowout could be in play here but we’ve seen Giannis post huge numbers in limited minutes and I trust that he can do the same here. And it’s a rather weak night at SF. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Paul George (vs POR – $11,600): Needs 49.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 63.7 fantasy points against Houston. But if you are worried about the blowout, you can always go with Paul George. He’s been just as reliable as Giannis this season and has shown a higher ceiling on a more consistent basis. And this game won’t be a blowout because every Blazers/Thunder game is a close contest. George saves you some money and can get you similar production. There is no mystery with George this season. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (at MIN – $7,000): Needs 29.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35 fantasy points against Boston. Gallinari is still working himself back into rhythm but the Boston game was a good start. He’s been a reliable option all season and with Harris gone, he’ll have to keep doing more for the Clippers. There should be plenty of offense in this one given how these two teams typically play. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
