High Salary SG

DeMar DeRozan-Toronto Raptors (7,800): DeRozan turned in a solid 35.7 fantasy points against Houston, but it seemed like a low total on a night when everyone was going off.  He has at least 34 fantasy points in six of his last seven games and continues to be one of the Raptors’ go-to options on offense.  Tonight, he’s in a great matchup against the Nets who allow the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG, and DeRozan dropped 30 points on them when the teams last met a couple of months ago. The game could turn into a blow out, but provided its a competitive game, look for DeRozan to be one of the best options your salary can buy tonight against the Nets. ∗∗∗

Victor Oladipo-Orlando Magic (6,600): Oladipo was held out of the Magic’s game on Friday which ended in an embarrassing loss to the Suns. He returned last night, though, and played 39 minutes against the Warriors totaling 19 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists for 39.8 fantasy points. He has at least 39 fantasy points in four of his last nine games which shows his sky-high upside as he takes on the woeful Lakers defense tonight.  As long as he is healthy after all the run he got last night, he’s a great matchup to attack tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗

Jordan Clarkson-Los Angeles Lakers (6,000): On the other side of tonight’s late game, Jordan Clarkson also sat out a game last Friday but returned successfully in the Lakers rout of the Warriors on Sunday.  In that game, Clarkson played 37 minutes scoring 25 points and getting to 31 fantasy points. He has at least 30 fantasy points in six of his last nine games and is a solid play tonight although he upside isn’t quite as limitless as Oladipo’s. ∗∗∗
