High Salary SG

C.J. McCollum-Portland Trail Blazers (7,500): Both of the top two SG options in the salary structure are trying to bounce back from a bad game.  DeRozan and McCollum were both held to single digits, but if I had to pick one to bounce back tonight I’d go with McCollum.  He only had six points and shot dreadfully (1-12) last night but he still did have seven assists and three rebounds.  Before that downer, McCollum had scored 20+ points in four straight and seven of his last nine.  He had at least 34 fantasy points in three of his last four before last night’s disappointment, and I think he’ll bounce back tonight against the Pacers. ∗∗

Victor Oladipo-Orlando Magic (6,800): Oladipo has been battling a thigh injury, but he was able to play both halves of the Magic back-t0-back against the Warriors and Knicks and posted solid numbers with 28.2 and 30.7 fantasy points even though his minutes were somewhat limited.  He had played 40+ minutes in four straight before those two games and has posted three straight games over 35 fantasy points. One of those games came against tonight’s opponent as he totaled 35.8 fantasy points against the Sixers on Tuesday on 22 points, four boards, four assists, and three steals.  Oladipo should be around that production again tonight as long as his injury doesn’t continue to limit his minutes. ∗∗∗∗

Andrew Wiggins-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,600): While he doesn’t have the multi-category ability to produce like Oladipo, Wiggins is enough of a scorer to consider for tonight since he has posted at least 30 fantasy points in five of his last six games including last night when he has 20 points, four rebounds, four assists, a block, and a steal against the Pelicans.  Wiggins will have to deal with Wesley Matthews and Chandler Parsons tonight, but he’s a pretty good bet to get to at least 30 fantasy points which is a solid return at this price point. ∗∗∗
