High Salary Forwards/Centers

Players costing over $8,333

Kawhi Leonard (vs MIL – $11,400): Needs 52.1 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 45.5 fantasy points against Milwaukee. It’s rough out there for Kawhi right now. He’s not getting much help and he can only do it himself for so often. I expect his best game of the series because the Raptors need him to be the superstar that he is in order to avoid a 0-3 hole. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at TOR – $12,200): Needs 55.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 64.75 fantasy points against Toronto. It’s Giannis and you don’t have to worry about Giannis. He’s going to do a bit of everything once again and the Raptors will have no answer for him once again because no one has an answer for Giannis. You can always spend extra and take him as at the captain but you have to be even better with your value picks. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a high ceiling.

Pascal Siakam (vs MIL – $9,000): Needs 40.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 14.25 fantasy points against Milwaukee. I said Siakam needed to be better after Game 1. He wasn’t In fact, he was pretty bad. That worries me heading into this matchup but I’m always going to like desperate teams at home for Game 3, especially when they are as good as the Raptors. This should be a game where Siakam steps up. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.
