High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at IND – $11,900): Needs 50.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64.4 fantasy points against Chicago. You know what you’re getting from Giannis. He’s been a reliable option all season and he’ll post another strong outing in this one because he’s that good. And the Pacers should keep this game competitive, leading to slightly more minutes. I love Giannis on Wednesday and you can build around him with confidence. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kawhi Leonard (vs WAS – $9,500): Needs 40.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.4 fantasy points against Brooklyn. Kawhi has been a bit up-and-down in recent contests. He was up against the Nets so the trend says he’ll be down in this one. But he’ll break the trend because he’s at his best when challenged by another top player. And Beal will challenge him. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Otto Porter Jr (vs MEM – $7,100): Needs 30.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 32.4 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Porter Jr has been a solid option since the trade to Chicago as he begins to find his footing. It’s not like the Bulls have a lot going on. The matchup is good with the Grizzlies being on a back-to-back and just not being a very good team. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
