High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU vs PHO ($11,400): Harden had 64.9 fantasy points against the Suns on Nov. 16. He played 35 minutes in that contest and I’m not sure he’ll play over 30 in this game. The Rockets should have an easy time with the Suns based on Phoenix’s recent play. Harden needs 48 fantasy points to hit value. He’s going to get you points, I just don’t know if it’ll be quite enough to reach value due to potentially limited playing time. ***

Lou Williams, LAC at NO ($8,600): The Pelicans are 26th against the position in their last 15 games. Williams is coming off a 70 fantasy point effort against the Grizzlies on Friday. He should have an easy time getting points and assists in this one, especially if the Pelicans come out flat and disorganized. *****

DeMar DeRozan, TOR vs LAL ($8,400): DeRozan has been over value in three of his lat four. His scoring has been down, failing to reach 20 points in his last two games, but he’s making up that value with rebounds and assists. He should be around 40 fantasy points in this one. ****

Jordan Clarkson, LAL at TOR ($7,200): Clarkson missed value against the Bulls, posting 27.4 fantasy points. His salary has gone down as a result. He still needs 30.3 fantasy points to hit value. He should continue to see big minutes off the bench, but I don’t love this matchup for him given the Raptors defense. He’ll provide a solid game, I just don’t know if it’ll be 30-plus fantasy points worth. **
