High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at SA – $12,100): Needs 51.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 48.6 fantasy points against Charlotte. It’s Giannis. Even though the Bucks are on a back-to-back and the Spurs are at home, there is no reason to go against Giannis. And I still maintain that he wants to deliver in a big way against these tough teams in an effort to strengthen his MVP case. Despite the circumstances, this feels like a big game for Giannis. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kevin Durant (vs PHO – $10,000): Needs 42.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.8 fantasy points against Denver. You typically know what you’re getting when it comes to Durant. He gets his numbers and it’s the Suns. He probably won’t be needed much in this game and then you’ll look up and all of a sudden Durant has 27 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Because that’s just Warriors Durant. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a decent ceiling.

Kelly Oubre Jr (at GS – $7,500): Needs 31.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.9 fantasy points against Portland. It’s a back-to-back for the Suns but I’m not concerned about that when it comes to Oubre Jr. He’s been excellent for the Suns this season and I’m not convinced that the Warriors are going to completely care in this matchup. He had 54.4 fantasy points against the Warriors on Feb. 8. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.
