High Salary SG

Dwyane Wade-Miami Heat (7,000): Wade played a comfortable 26 minutes in Game One against Charlotte handing out seven assists to go with 16 points and four boards for a total of 31 fantasy points.  He should be able to put up even bigger numbers in Game Two is less one-sided. ∗∗∗

Nicolas Batum-Charlotte Hornets (6,600): Batum seemed to be the only member of the Hornets who even remembered there was a game on Sunday. He totaled 24 points in his 40 minutes of run but only added two rebounds, two steals, and an assists for 32 fantasy points. Normally, Batum has much better non-scoring stats, and I think he’ll help the Hornets recover tonight and improve on their woeful Game One showing.  I doubt Charlotte gets the win, but Batum should have better non-scoring stats if the team plays better as a whole. ∗∗∗

C.J. McCollum-Portland Trail Blazers (6,300): McCollum had a horrible game one against the Clippers scoring just nine points in 37 minutes.  He added three assists and two rebounds but only managed 15.5 fantasy points.  That being said, I think he’ll bounce back tonight since I doubt he shoots as bad (3-11 in Game One) and should be more involved.  He gets a ton of time on the floor and is worth a look if you have the salary to spend, but I think he’s higher-risk than Wade after his rough Game One outing.
