High Salary SG

James Harden, HOU at CLE ($11,500): Somehow, the Cavaliers are first against shooting guards in their last 15 games. This does not matter when it comes to Harden and the overall state of the Cleveland defense. Harden has been over value in six straight and continue to be the better play over teammate Chris Paul. This should be a huge night for Harden and the entire Houston offense, unless the Cavaliers have learned how to defend in the last couple of day. He needs 47.4 fantasy points to hit value. He should exceed 50 fantasy points once again. *****

Bradley Beal, WAS at ORL ($9,200): Beal has been great in his last two games. He’s coming off a 53.2 fantasy point performance against the Raptors on Thursday. He had 47.1 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 12. With John Wall out, Beal has stepped up his game and will continue to step up his game. This is a great matchup for Beal and one he should perform well against. He needs 38 fantasy points to hit value. He should easily be over 40 fantasy points and will likely exceed 45 fantasy points in this contest. *****

Lou Williams, LAC vs CHI ($8,700): The Bulls are 25th against the position in their last 15 games. Williams missed value against the Trail Blazers, posting 30.7 fantasy points in that contest. He should have a much easier time of things against the Bulls given their defense. The additions of Avery Bradley and Tobias Harris will take away some opportunities from Williams, but he’s become just as much of a playmaker as a scorer this season, which is great news for his fantasy numbers. He should he around 40 fantasy points in this one. ****
