High Salary SG

Jimmy Butler-Chicago Bulls (8,700): Butler is all the way back for the Bulls and carrying the offense once again in the on-and-off absence of Derrick Rose.  Butler has at least 20 points and 42 fantasy points in each of his last three games including a huge game with 73.4 fantasy points against the Pistons on Saturday. Butler and the Bulls will face the injury-drained Grizzlies tonight, so look for another big game for Butler especially if Rose is out again tonight (gametime call). With Rose-∗∗∗∗ No Rose-∗∗∗∗∗

Dwyane Wade-Miami Heat (7,700): The Heat have plenty to play for as they battle the Celtics, Hawks, and Hornets for the 3-6 seed in the Eastern Conference. Wade has missed their last two contests, however, with a bad back.  Hopefully a week off is enough for him to get back on the floor tonight agains the Pistons.  He was playing extremely well before his injury with back-to-back games of at least 45 fantasy points against the Nets and Lakers.  Wade is carrying the load for Miami on offense whenever his back can take it, so expect a good game from him as long as he’s able to get active tonight against Detroit. ∗∗

C.J. McCollum-Portland Trail Blazers (6,900): McCollum didn’t give Damian Lillard much help against the Warriors on Sunday, but he had over 35 fantasy points in three of his four games before that.  McCollum has only 23.9 fantasy points against the Kings in a blowout last Monday, but he should be lined up for better production tonight against Sacramento since the Kings are expected to play their starters at home against Portland.  Sacramento has allowed the third-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG, so look for McCollum to return a solid value at his price just under 7K.∗∗∗

Devin Booker-Phoenix Suns (6,700): With Brandon Knight out the rest of the season, the offensive workload falls back on rookie Devin Booker who will be asked to carry the Suns’ offense the rest of the way.  He played 41 minutes on Sunday against the Jazz and finished with 28.9 fantasy points on 14 points and seven assists.  He will be very involved for Phoenix tonight against the Hawks, and if he can get his shot dropping he could finish the season on a nice run. ∗∗∗∗
