High Salary SG

James Harden-Houston Rockets (10,900): James Harden is single-handedly trying to drag the Rockets into the playoffs and is having a monster run of fantasy production as a result.  In his last ten games, Harden is averaging 41.6 minutes pre game and scoring 29.5 points to go with 10.2 assists, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.3 steals.  During that stretch, Harden has put up at least 52 fantasy points six times including on Sunday in his last game when he had 41 points, nine assists, and three steals against the Thunder on his way to 62.3 fantasy points. He has four games with over 59 fantasy points in his last seven, and he will look to put on a show tonight in Dallas as he tries to pull the Rockets into a tie with Dallas with a win tonight. In his three games against the Mavs this season, “The Beard” is averaging 24.3 points, 10 rebounds, and 9.7 assists, so look for another huge game from him tonight. ∗∗∗∗

Victor Oladipo-Orlando Magic (8,400): While he’s not quite James Harden, Victor Oladipo has been coming up huge for the Magic with similarly-productive multi-faceted stat lines.  Oladipo has over 41 fantasy points in each of his last three games and is playing big minutes for coach Scott Skiles after being benched by him in the middle of the season.  Oladipo and the Magic have little to play for tonight against Detroit, but they can play spoiler. The Pistons did limit Oladipo to just 32.1 fantasy points in their last meeting but the former-Hoosier was battling a wrist injury in that game which ultimately forced him to miss the next two contests.  If he was cheaper, he’d be more attractive, but it’s easy to see his fantasy basketball star rising. ∗∗

C.J. McCollum-Portland Trail Blazers (6,900): McCollum poured in 30 points last night against the Kings and totaled 40.1 fantasy points. He has at least 35 fantasy points in three of his last four contests now and is finishing his breakout year strong as a nice backcourt complement to Damian Lillard. He’ll take on the Thunder tonight in what could be a first-round preview, so it’ll be important to see how OKC tries to slow him and Lillard tonight∗∗∗
