High Salary SG

Khris Middleton-Milwaukee Bucks (7,900): Middleton has been one of the biggest breakout stars this season and has been especially hot lately averaging 26.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.6 steals, and even 0.4 blocks over his last five contests.  He had 39.4 fantasy points against the T-Wolves on Friday while scoring 32 points and has at least 36 fantasy points in each of his last five.  He’s a pricey play tonight, but he and the Bucks should be in run-and-gun mode against the Thunder, so I expect another plethora of points from him tonight. ∗∗

DeMar DeRozan-Toronto Raptors (7,800): DeRozan and the Raptors catch the Rockets on a back-to-back, and DeRozan is in a good matchup to attack against James Harden who usually plays only on the offensive end.  Harden has also played at least 40 minutes in eight of his last nine games including last night, so there could definitely be some fatigue (which is why he’s not one of my picks today).  DeRozan should look to attack Harden as he tries to post 30+ points for the third straight game.  DeRozan had 38 points on Friday against Portland and finished with 40.6 fantasy points. He has at least 37 fantasy points in four of his last five games and should return good value again tonight in a very gettable matchup. ∗∗∗∗

Dwyane Wade-Miami Heat (7,700): Speaking of getable matchups, D-Wade plays the Sixers again who he just lit up for 21 points and 40 fantasy points on Friday.  He has at least 40 fantasy points in three of his last four, and the only concern with him right now is that the Heat need to get him some rest when possible so his minutes could be limited if tonight’s contest turns into a blowout. ∗∗

Klay Thompson-Golden State Warriors (7,200): Thompson rounds out the stacked 7K’s at SG for tonight as he takes on the Lakers.  LA has allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing SG so far this season, and Thompson could be called on to do  more of the heavy lifting in the offense to get Curry’s ankle some rest.  Thompson has reached 38 fantasy points in five of his last seven games.  He only had 21 points against the Thunder on Thursday, but he has the potential to go off in any given matchup especially if he gets some of the shots that Curry usually takes. With Curry-∗∗∗ No Curry-∗∗∗∗∗
