High Salary SG

Khris Middleton-Milwaukee Bucks (7,600): With James Harden’s matchup against Kawhi Leonard making him high-risk, I’d go with Middleton if you’re looking to spend big on a SG tonight.  Middleton has at least 30 fantasy points in each of his last six games with over 35 fantasy points in four of his last eight. He plays massive minutes for Milwaukee logging at least 35 in each of those eight games and can produce across multiple categories when he’s at his best.  The Bucks have been a huge disappointment this season, but Middleton has had a breakout year and should be in a place to keep producing tonight. ∗∗∗

Klay Thompson-Golden State Warriors (7,000): Thompson had a front-row seat to the Stephen Curry show in Orlando but managed just nine points of his own and burnt owners with just 13.9 fantasy points against the Magic.  He had been productive leading up to that game with three straight of over 38 fantasy points. He had just 18 points and four boards the last time the Warriors played the Thunder, but he will need to get his game going tonight as Golden State heads into hostile territory tonight. ∗∗

Andrew Wiggins-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,600): Wiggins has at least 30 fantasy points in four of his last five games all of which he has scored at least 20 points in.  Scoring remains his primary fantasy contribution, but he has been picking up some decent non-scoring stats as well as he moves from SG to SF depending on the night.  Tonight, he’s in a great matchup for SG as he faces the Pelicans who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing SG so far this season.  Wiggins was limited to just 15 points and 19 fantasy points against New Orleans when the two teams met earlier this month, but he should be able to exceed those numbers tonight in the Big Easy. ∗∗
