High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU at DAL ($11,500): Harden had 43.9 fantasy points against the Heat on Monday. He needs 48.6 fantasy points to his value on Wednesday. The Dallas defense certainly isn’t as good as Miami’s, so Harden should have an easier go in this one. I’m never concerned about Harden’s scoring or assist numbers, but his lack of rebounds is certainly an issue right now. Chris Paul is the guard grabbing all of the rebounds, which means Harden needs extra points and assists to make up that value. ***

Victor Oladipo, IND vs PHO ($9,900): The only concern with Oladipo in this one is his playing time. He had 34.5 fantasy points in 21 minutes against the Suns on Jan. 14. He needs 41.8 fantasy points to hit value on Wednesday. He won’t achieve that number if he doesn’t play at least 27 minutes. I don’t expect this one to be the rout that it was a little over a week ago and I do expect Oladipo to post big scoring numbers against a weak Phoenix defense. *****

Jrue Holiday, NO at CHA ($7,800): It was DeMarcus Cousins who stole the show on Monday and it hurt Holiday’s value. He had 29.8 fantasy points against the Bulls in that double-OT thriller. It’s doubtful that Cousins has another 97 fantasy point game, so Holiday’s value should be back around his 35.2 FPPG season average. He needs 33 fantasy points to hit value on Wednesday. The Hornets are 18th against the position in their last 15 games. ****
