High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,667

Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs BKN – $13,000): Needs 53.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 84.6 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Minutes are a concern with Giannis because he has no reason to play big minutes in this game. But he’s also Giannis and even in limited minutes, he can put up big numbers. It’s a great matchup but the salary might be a tad too high for what you’re going to need. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

JJ Redick (at CHI – $6,100): Needs 25.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 41.9 fantasy points against Milwaukee. Redick has found his shooting touch and it’s led to some big numbers for him. The minutes and shots have always been there for him, it’s just been a matter of shots going in. He’s shooting well and now he gets the Bulls. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.

High Value SF

Players costing $6,667 or under

JaKarr Sampson (vs PHI – $5,500): Needs 22.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 35.8 fantasy points against Washington. Sampson has played better since moving back to the bench, so there’s that. It’s a good matchup regardless as the Sixers defense is not right and if they don’t have Embiid, that certainly doesn’t help them. He’s another random guy who has just stopped up for the Bulls. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

Joe Harris (at MIL – $5,200): Needs 21.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 18.4 fantasy points against Toronto. Harris was down against the Raptors but he remains at a good salary, continues to get the minutes and opportunities. He had 26.7 fantasy points agains the Bucks on Apr. 1. Expect Harris to bounce back in this one. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
