Top Four SFs

  1. LeBron James (Cavaliers) – $9,800 @ 76ers
  2. Paul George (Pacers) – $9,100 @ Rockets
  3. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks) – $6,400 @ Knicks
  4. Danilo Gallinari (Nuggets) – $7,100 vs. Hornets

Rationale:

  • James is averaging 55.2 FPPG in three meetings against Philadelphia. He’s shooting 53.4 percent and is averaging nine rebounds, six assists and three steals per game against them this season. The 76ers are 28th against small forwards this season.
  • George has a favorable matchup against one of the worst teams defensively in the NBA. The Rockets are last against small forwards this season. George is the Pacers leading scorer and could have a big night against the Rockets.
  • Antetokounmpo is scoring 37.1 FPPG against the Knicks in two contests this season. As an all-around player, Antetokounmpo can impact the game and fill the stat sheet. He’s averaging 26.2 FPPG in his last four games and is a good play with his price as low as it is.
  • Gallinari is playing well lately, averaging 40.5 FPPG. His strong shooting performances and ability to rebound can be attributed to his hot streak. The Hornets are sixth against small forwards this season, but it may be worth it to ride the wave Gallinari is on.
