High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs LAL – $11,300): Needs 52.3 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 91 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Giannis is questionable with an ankle injury so check his status before making any decisions. Typically I don’t deal with questionable players but we’re covering just about everyone else at the forward position. And you never want to miss out on Giannis. Especially against the Lakers. Especially against this Lakers squad. Giannis will deliver like Giannis always does. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Jimmy Butler (at CHA – $7,100): Needs 32.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Has Butler found his rhythm as a member of the Sixers? Probably not. But he has played well in the last two games and has shown some positive signs. Can he keep it up? I have my doubts. But maybe he’s turned the corner and is actually enjoying his time in Philadelphia. The matchup is good and no Embiid will mean more opportunities. Diagnosis: Fairly reliable with a high ceiling.

Danilo Gallinari (vs IND – $6,900): Needs 31.9 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 44.75 fantasy points against Brooklyn. You know what you’re getting for Gallinari on most nights. He’s been a very reliable option for most of the season and he’s been over 44 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He’s settled into a nice spot and he’s the second best offensive option on the team. The Pacers can make things a slog, but they are on a back-to-back. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
