High Salary SG

James Harden-Houston Rockets (11,000): Harden has been on a mission in the second half of the season playing monster minutes and putting together silly stat lines.  Harden has played at least 40 minutes in each of the Rockets’ last eight games and has posted over 50 fantasy points in eight of his last ten.  He had at least 65 fantasy points in three of his last six games, and has averaged a crazy 34.6 points, 7.8 assists, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals over his last ten contests.  Tonight, he will have to deal with the tough Boston back court defense, but nothing seems to be able to slow down “The Beard” lately which makes him one of the better fantasy options any night he takes the floor. 

Victor Oladipo-Orlando Magic (7,000): Oladipo had 26 points and 35.8 fantasy points on Tuesday against the Lakers after posting 39.8 fantasy points against the Warriors on Monday.  Oladipo had a few down games while battling a back issue but his 35+ minutes in back-to-back games would seem to indicate he’s fully recovered.  Look for him to have a good game tonight as he could play the point more with Elfrid Payton ailing and either way will be in a great matchup against the Kings who give up the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing backcourts. 

C.J. McCollum-Portland Trail Blazers (6,800): McCollum only had 18 points against the Wizards on Tuesday, but he had over 20 points in three of his previous four games and at least 19 points in seven of his previous nine.  He struggled with turnovers against the Wizards too which isn’t characteristic of him but limited him to just 18.6 fantasy points. While there is risk of him continuing to struggle, I think he’ll bounce back tonight in a high-scoring game with the Warriors.  He has 29 fantasy points or more in three of his last five games and I think he’ll be good for at least that many tonight making him worth a look at his price under 7K.
