High Salary SG

James Harden-Houston Rockets (11,000): Are you going with the Beard or the Brow tonight? For me, Harden is the big-name star to target tonight since he’s in a great matchup in Phoenix where he’ll face the Suns who have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing SG so far this season.  He also enters tonight’s game in fabulous form having posted at least 54 fantasy points in five of his last six games with the one outlier being a matchup with Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs who always give him fits.  Harden is spendy at 11K, but he has huge potential to go off tonight and could even end up being a bargain if he posts 70+ fantasy points which he has done twice in his last eight games. ∗∗∗∗

C.J. McCollum-Portland Trail Blazers (7,600): While Lillard vs Lowry is a great matchup to watch, don’t overlook their backcourt mates dueling it out as McCollum and DeMar DeRozan face off as well.  McCollum has been a huge revelation to the Blazers this season and emerged as a nice complement to Lillard.  On Tuesday, McCollum had 30 points, six assists, four boards, two blocks, and two steals for a very nice 47.8 fantasy points reminding us of the balanced player he showed himself to be while Lillard was sidelined.  McCollum doesn’t usually go quite that crazy, but he does have at least 36 fantasy points in three of his last six games and at least 28 fantasy points in seven of his last ten.  He’s relatively low-risk and I would give him the slight edge over DeRozan especially since he costs 500 less.∗∗∗
