High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU vs OKC ($12,000): Harden popped for 65.8 fantasy points in Game 1, one of (if not THE) best game he has had against the Thunder this season. On the other hand, he was only 3-for-11 from 3-point range so he actually has upside if his jumper is falling. He does still have to deal with Andre Roberson’s defense, though, and his five-game average of 53.7 fantasy points is (ridiculously) beneath his overall season average and may make a more fitting expected value for Game 2. ***

C.J. McCollum, POR at GS ($7300): McCollum had a career night in Game 1, scoring 41 points on his way to 56.5 fantasy points. He is probable to play on Wednesday with an ankle injury. McCollum has had success against the Warriors all season, as attested to by his season average of 40.2 fantasy points that wasn’t ALL attributable to his big Game 1. ****

Bradley Beal, WAS vs ATL ($7200): Beal scored 35.8 fantasy points in Game 1 against the Hawks, right about his average over the last eight games. It is also similar to the 33.5 fantasy point average that he has in five games against the Hawks this season. His expected value for Game 2 would be right in this same range. ***
