High Salary SG

James Harden-Houston Rockets (10,200): Harden hit a snag in his most recent game as he was limited by Kawhi Leonard to just 23.6 fantasy points in the Rockets loss on Wednesday night.  He was on a huge roll before that with at least 50 fantasy points in four straight games including two triple-doubles and two games with over 60 fantasy points. Harden always brings his A-game when he plays his former team and had 37 points, three steals, three assists, five rebounds, and two blocks against them earlier this season.  After a down game against Kawhi, he’ll be ready to go off again tonight in his return to Chesapeake Energy Arena. ∗∗∗∗

Khris Middleton-Milwaukee Bucks (7,600): Middleton had a solid night last night against Memphis finishing with 35 fantasy points in 32 minutes even though he only had 15 points.  He has at least 30 fantasy points in each of his last nine games with 35 or more in six of those contests.  He should be a good play tonight against the Heat who he had 44.9 fantasy points against last week on 22 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.  Middleton usually plays a ton of minutes for Milwaukee and will probably be very busy again tonight. ∗∗∗

Dwyane Wade-Miami Heat (7,500): On the other side of that matchup, Wade has been in vintage form on the Heat’s current three-game road trip and has been putting up excellent numbers. In each of those three games, Wade has at least 22 points and has over 44 fantasy points in each of his last two games as he has run the offense with Goran Dragic sidelined.  Dragic is expected to return tonight, but I still think Wade should have a good game since he’s looked so good lately and appears to be over his shoulder injuries from earlier this month. ∗∗

Andrew Wiggins-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,7000): Wiggins has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five games and eight of his last ten.  Wiggins has at least 25 fantasy points in each of his last ten games with over 32 in four of his last eight.  Wiggins has established himself as a reliable scorer, but his non-scoring stats can sometimes come and go.  He isn’t likely to put up either a monster game or a total dud making him a solid but not spectacular play against the Jazz in Utah tonight. When the two teams met earlier this year, Wiggins played 41 minutes and finished with 17 points, six rebounds, and four assists. ∗∗∗
