High Salary SG

Nicolas Batum-Charlotte Hornets (7,300): Batum almost had a  triple-double last night against the Knicks and finished with 44.75 fantasy points on 15-11-9 with a steal. He has at least 35 fantasy points in three of his last four games and five of his last seven, so if you are looking for a big-money SG or SF play, he is a reliable option in a good matchup. Tonight, he takes on the Kings who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing SG over their last five games and the fifth-most on the season. ∗∗∗

Devin Booker-Phoenix Suns (7,100): The Suns have been getting solid play from Booker who has scored 20 points or more in each of his last ten games.  In each of his last five games, Booker has at least 33 fantasy points, and he can be even better when he chips in other non-scoring stats. He had 39.75 fantasy points against the Cavs last week, but has been between 33-35 fantasy points since then. He’ll need to step up a little more than that tonight, but in a great matchup against Denver I think he’ll have a better shooting night and total over 40 fantasy points.∗∗∗

Dion Waiters-Miami Heat (6,900): Waiters cooled off last night in Chicago after posting at lest 24 points and 42 fantasy points in three straight. He still had a solid stat line with19-5-1 with 29.75 fantasy points. He’ll look to bounce back in a tough matchup in Detroit, but he’ll continue to get lots of minutes and usage while the rest of Miami’s wings are all hurting..∗∗∗∗

Klay Thompson-Golden State Warriors (6,500): Since Stephen Curry could be out or limited by his quad injury tonight (currently questionable), the rest of the Warriors could get more looks and scoring potential tonight. Earlier this season, Thompson had 24-4-3 against the Clippers an usually has good stat lines against LA. When Curry and Durant are with him in the lineup, Thompson is a little high-risk since they carry so much scoring, but if Curry is out Klay will get more chances. No Curry-∗∗∗∗ With Curry-∗∗
