High Salary SG

James Harden – Houston Rockets ($12700): As I mentioned earlier, Harden is my top point guard and shooting guard tonight. He’s back up against the Nuggets again tonight but this time it’s at home. He had a 40/10/10 triple-double against them on Saturday that brought in 73.5 FP. He’s also gone over 70 FP three times in his last four games and had that epic 83 FP against New Orleans. He’s posted four straight triple-doubles and he should get another one tonight.

Nicolas Batum – Charlotte Hornets ($6700): Batum returned to action Saturday after missing two games due to migraine headaches. He played 27 minutes on Saturday but you can expect a full workload tonight against an Atlanta team that doesn’t defend well against shooting guards, especially with Kent Bazemore out. Batum’s salary is down to $6700 and we know his ceiling is over 50. He looks like an excellent play tonight.

Will Barton – Denver Nuggets ($7300): Playing Barton tonight is a go with Danilo Gallinari out again for the Nugs. Now we just need him to actually play well. Barton laid a big egg against Houston on Saturday hitting on just 2-13 from the field and only 1-of-9 from 3-point range. Expect much bigger totals tonight and you know that he has a high ceiling, something that’s a must for GPP plays.

Klay Thompson – Golden State Warriors ($7200): Thompson keeps getting 15-20 shots per game and he’s been shooting the ball at a high percentage of late. Tonight’s game against the Thunder could be a shootout that goes higher than the 222 line set by Vegas, and even if Klay doesn’t go for a big number he almost always gets close to value.
