High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Giannis Antetokunmpo (at NO – $11,500): Needs 54.2 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 56.25 fantasy points against San Antonio. As always, it’s Giannis. And you can always build around Giannis with confidence. It doesn’t matter the matchup, Giannis will get his numbers. And this is a fine matchup given that the Pelicans are banged up and not playing Davis. Giannis will get his numbers without an issue. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Tobias Harris (vs CLE – $7,500): Needs 35.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 36 fantasy points against Indiana. No Jimmy Butler means Harris will get more opportunities. Everything still runs through Embiid, but Harris is a nice fit with his scoring and rebounding. And it’s the Cavaliers on a back-to-back. He’ll get you value if nothing else but expect more given the matchup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

Otto Porter Jr (vs LAL – $6,400): Needs 30.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 19.5 fantasy points against Detroit. OPJ wasn’t good against Detroit but expect him to bounce back in this game because he’s up against the Lakers. Have you watched the Lakers this season? They’re playing harder but they still aren’t very good. And Porter has been good more often than not for the Bulls. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
