High Salary SG

James Harden-Houston Rockets (12,000): Harden takes his road show to Oakland where he’ll try to help carry the Rockets against the Warriors. Harden’s monster numbers have been a little buried due to Russell Westbrook’s transcendence, but “The Beard” has at least 55 fantasy points in five of his last seven. He has only produced more than 60 fantasy points in one of his last five, though, so he’ll heed to step up to be fully worth his 12K salary. He’s in a matchup to do just that, though, so he’s definitely worth considering even though he’s so expensive.∗∗∗

Klay Thompson-Houston Rockets (6,600): On the flip-side of that game, Klay is in a good matchup tonight against the Rockets who are allowing the second-most fantasy points in the NBA to opposing SG and the most, by far, over their last five games. Thompson comes in with good momentum as well having posting over 31 fantasy points in six of his last seven games and scoring at least 18 points in each of those seven contests. On Monday, Thompson had 20-4-2 against the Hawks, and he should be ready to post another nice stat line tonight in a high-scoring finale to the night.∗∗∗∗
