High Salary SG

James Harden-Houston Rockets (10,900): Harden is the biggest name superstar with everything to play for tonight, so he’s a very good investment as he takes on the Timberwolves.  Harden had 40 points in yesterdays win over the Lakers adding 13 assists, four boards, and four steals for a total of 75 fantasy points. He has turned in over 64 fantasy points five times in his last ten games, and he could definitely produce that number again tonight against the Wolves. In his two games against Minnesota earlier this season, “The Beard” has averaged 28 points, 12.5 assists, four boards, and two steals. He’s playing a ton of minutes trying to carry the team to the playoffs, and he’ll be a popular but productive play tonight. ∗∗∗∗∗

Devin Booker-Phoenix Suns (7,100): Booker is making an impact for the Suns as he continues to put the finishing touches on a strong rookie season.  He has posted at least 28 fantasy points in seven of his last ten games and usually is especially effective at home. He’ll be in a great matchup against the Kings who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG this season, so look from good line from Booker if you can afford to slide his 6.8K salary under your salary cap. ∗∗

Khris Middleton-Milwaukee Bucks (6,400): Middleton was unsure if he would be able to play yesterday against the Sixers, but he ended up giving it a go and turning in a monster line of 62.5 fantasy points in his 43 minutes on 36 points, nine assists, six rebounds, and four steals.  He has played well in the last two games he has been active, and he’ll be a great option tonight if he gives it a go against the Magic in Orlando. Make sure he’s active, but he will be in a great matchup against Orlando without Victor Oladipo if he’s confirmed good to go.∗∗∗∗

Andrew Wiggins-Minnesota Timberwolves (6,500): The Wolves will look to spoil the Rockets playoff push tonight, and Wiggins is in a great matchup since no team in the NBA has allowed more fantasy points to opposing SF than the Rockets.  Wiggins has been productive since sliding to the SF spot and has at least 27 fantasy points in four of his last five including an impressive 54.75 fantasy points against the Warriors last Tuesday in the T-Wolves upset of Golden State. Since then he has only had 24.5 fantasy points and 27.75 fantasy points, but he should be back over 30 fantasy points at least due to his favorable matchup tonight. ∗∗∗∗
