High Salary SF

Players costing over $6,250

Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs BOS – $10,000): Needs 45.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME: 67.25 fantasy points against Detroit. The Celtics are going to push the Bucks. That means Giannis is going to show up in a big way. He’s going to get big minutes for the first time all season. And more minutes for Giannis is great news for DFS players. He’ll deliver. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Kevin Durant (vs HOU – $9,100): Needs 41.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME: 70 fantasy points against LA Clippers. Curry and Klay are in rough shape and that means more KD. He wasn’t good against the Rockets this season, averaging 38 fantasy points in three games. But he’s in a zone right now and that’s a scary thing for the Rockets. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value SF

Players costing $6,250 or under

Jayson Tatum (at MIL – $5,800): Needs 26.6 fantasy points. LAST GAME: 31.5 fantasy points against Indiana. Tatum was strong in the first round and he was good against the Bucks this season, averaging 33.3 fantasy points in three games against them. I love Tatum’s game overall and we know he has a good ceiling based on his minutes and opportunities. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Andre Iguodala (vs HOU – $4,300): Needs 19.5 fantasy points. LAST GAME: 34 fantasy points against LA Clippers. The Warriors have Iguodala so even if Curry and Klay miss time, it doesn’t matter. Iguodala is the best player on the Warriors and he’s going to get his numbers in this season. Jokes aside, he’s going to get the minutes and we know he can do a bit of everything. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
