High Salary SG

Bradley Beal, WAS vs MIL ($8,200): Beal has hit value in three straight and six of his last seven. Again, with the way Milwaukee is playing, grabbing multiple stars against them isn’t the worst idea in the world. Beal has missed value in both games against the Bucks this season, including a 32.25 fantasy point game against them on Jan. 6. I expect him to be around 40 fantasy points in this one given the recent play of both teams. ****

Kris Dunn, CHI vs MIA ($7,100): Dunn had 51.5 fantasy points against the Pistons on Saturday and continues to be a reliable fantasy play. He’s averaging 22.4 fantasy points in two games against the Heat this season, but both of those games came in November, before he stepped up his game as solidified himself as the starting point guard in Chicago. I like him to be at value and potentially higher if the Heat struggle on the back-to-back. ***

Chris Paul, HOU at LAC ($10,300): Paul makes his return to face the Clippers coming in on a hot streak. He’s been over value in five straight. That includes a 49 fantasy point game in 27 minutes against the Suns. In this system, you know what you’re getting from Paul. And you know this game has big importance to him. Expect another 50+ fantasy point game from the Rockets guard on Monday. *****

Lou Williams, LAC vs HOU ($8,900): Williams missed value against the Kings on Saturday by 1.2 fantasy points. He’s been fantastic as the Clippers starter with Austin Rivers out. He had 54 fantasy points against the Rockets on Dec. 22. This one should be a shootout and if that’s the case, Williams is going to get his points and then some. *****
