High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at IND – $11,200): Needs 50.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 67.75 fantasy points against Chicago. It’s Giannis and you can always build around Giannis. His ceiling isn’t as high as Harden’s but he’s just as reliable, if not more reliable. And he’s angry with the MVP talk right now, which only makes me like him more. The Pacers will make him work, but there’s no stopping Giannis at this point. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (vs PHO – $7,000): Needs 31.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21.25 fantasy points against Minnesota. Admittedly, I can’t figure out the Clippers. They have some good pieces and can maybe compete but they don’t seem to want to compete based on the trades they made. But they are going up against the Suns. And these players have pride. So I have to trust them against the Suns. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Tobias Harris (at NY – $6,800): Needs 30.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 22.5 fantasy points against Boston. It’s the Knicks. Even though the Sixers are on a back-to-back and had a tough game against the Celtics, it’s the Knicks. And Harris remains at a good salary given his usual production and minutes. This will be a nice game for the Sixers to get Harris more comfortable to the team after a game against the Celtics where they had to work a bit harder. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
