High Salary SG

Tyreke Evans, MEM vs PHO ($8,200): Evans has missed the last week due to an illenes. He’s currently listed as questionable, but he did practice on Sunday and it sounds like he’ll be able to play on Monday. Check his status before making any decisions. Assuming he plays, he should have an easy time against the Suns. Phoenix is on a back-to-back and have been blown out more often than not in recent contests. Evans is averaging 43.4 fantasy points in two games against the Suns this season. He needs 34.3 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. *****

Victor Oladipo, IND vs CHA ($9,300): Oladipo has missed value in four of his last five. Only a game against the Spurs was a bad miss, but I’m not too concerned about him. Especially now that his salary has dropped to where he needs 38.9 fantasy points to his value. If this one turns into an offensive showdown, Oladipo will be a big contributor. He hasn’t shot well from deep in recent contests, but he remains a great scorer who provides rebounding and playmaking. I like him to push 40 fantasy points in this contest. ****

Gary Harris, DEN vs BOS ($7,100): Harris has hit value in eight of his last nine. His one miss was a bad one, contributing 16.9 fantasy points against the Trail Blazers, but he’s bounce back in the two games since then. The Celtics are ninth against the position in their last 15 games, but without Marcus Smart, their perimeter defense is certainly going to take a hit. Harris had 51.6 fantasy points against the Celtics on Dec. 13. He’s hit value in 71 percent of games this season. He’s a reliable play who has the ability to go off on any given night. ****
