Top Four SFs

  1. Carmelo Anthony (Knicks) – $8,600 @ Celtics (25th)
  2. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks) – $7,700 vs. Timberwolves (12th)
  3. Jae Crowder (Celtics) – $6,100 vs. Knicks (8th)
  4. Kent Bazemore (Hawks) – $5,300 @ Lakers (28th)

Rationale:

  • Anthony is scoring 37.5 FPPG in three games against the Celtics this season. His assists and scoring have suffered slightly in the season series, but he’s played around his season averages. Scoring and rebounding will be key for Anthony’s fantasy value. He’s projected to score 43.0 fantasy points.
  • Antetokounmpo scored 27 fantasy points against the Wolves in their first meeting. He shot 33.3 percent from the field in that game. Since the All-Star Break he’s scoring 48.5 FPPG in seven games, including a game of 60-plus and a game of 70-plus fantasy points. He’s projected to score 38.2 fantasy points.
  • Crowder is scoring 30.6 FPPG in three meetings with the Knicks this season. He is 7-for-15 (46.7 percent) from three-point range and is shooting 58.1 percent from the field in the season series. Shooting efficiency will be the biggest key for Crowder’s fantasy fate. He’s projected to score 29.8 fantasy points.
  • Bazemore scored 30.8 fantasy points against the Lakers in their first meeting this season. He only had three rebounds, despite averaging five rebounds per game this season. The Lakers are 27th in rebounding percentage, which is where Bazemore can excel in fantasy value. He’s projected to score 25.3 fantasy points.
