High Salary SG

Nicolas Batum-Charlotte Hornets (7,300): Batum has been incredibly consistent for most of the season for the Hornets turning in good and balanced lines almost every night next to Kemba Walker in the backcourt. Batum had a very typical 18-8-6 for 32.6 fantasy points last night against the Blazers and now has at least 32 fantasy points in four straight and seven of his last nine. He had 32.2 fantasy points last week against the Warriors on 16-6-8 in 38 minutes. As long as the Hornets can keep tonight’s game relatively close, Batum should be at 30+ fantasy points with the potential for more as he plays big minutes.∗∗∗

Devin Booker-Phoenix Suns (6,900): Booker has 20 points or more in each of his last 13 games and has over 29 fantasy points in ten of his last 11. The last game he scored fewer than 20 points was against the Clippers back on January 2 when he had just 13-1-2 for 18.2 fantasy points. He’ll face LA again tonight (this time in Phoenix), and try to keep his streak going while adding in some more non-scoring numbers to jump to truly-elite status.∗∗

Klay Thompson-Golden State Warriors (6,300): Klay stepped up with Steph out on Sunday and tootled 27-6-2 for 41.2 fantasy points against the Blazers. Whenever Curry is out, the extra usage makes Thompson a must-play, but the Warriors will probably get their star PG back tonight. If Curry returns as expected, Thompson will be back to his normal role which makes him a little boom-or-bust but always with high upside. With Curry-∗∗ No Curry-∗∗∗∗
